Lapsed mechanical engineer who writes code now. I also make terrible noises with musical instruments.
I tried a spiral slash for this boule. I think it came out great! #breadsky

Wonderful to know, basics are same for all mediums. So, my suggestion is to start with basics with Ballpoint pen. Below warm exercises help to build muscle memory required for every medium. Then slowly progressing to cross-hatching and contour lines. Hope this helps :)

Last week, this was a sad looking machine stuck in my garage - I had to admit I'd never fix it, so it went to a new home. And look at it now!
Teletype ASR 33 stripped down to its subsystem parts, cleaned and lubricated. Waiting for a few parts from the USA before firing it up for the first time in many years. @heredragons.be

For #JanuArty prompt of Flat

A #monoprint of a Jackrabbit
In order for it to be created
The plate had to pass through a press and flatten into the paper
The results are always magical

For awhile there I was watching what happens to oil paint if it goes through a press
Turns out something cool

Scratchboard art done in 2022. I bought a load of stuff to do this, was really hyped and excited about it, and then never touched it again. I should revisit this media.

Day 16 #ArtAdventCalendar -left page of a 2-page spread of my Illinois prairie nature journal, covering a July 14, 2021 moth survey.

July and August seem to be peak season for diversity in moths and blooming plants in the prairie. I had trouble wittling them down to fit the page...

Today's entry is a WIP of a small project that I started a few months ago but shelved it indefinitely... Would definitely love to return to it!

This is the kea-griff, a mischievous creature that is the mix of a kea bird and a lynx!

River sage (Salvia Misella) is an aromatic herb with leaves and flowers which can be eaten raw, cooked, or dried to enhance the flavor of baked goods, fruit, meat, and vegetables. Its bright blue and fragrant flowers attract pollinators.

For #ArtAdventCalendar day 12, part of a really fun commission! I was asked to imagine what a hybrid between Cedar Waxwing and tanagers might look like. This particular one is a cross with Western Tanager! Notice also the thick tanager bill, perfect for eating those laurel berries. 🪶🎨🐡 #birdart

Pen and ink drawing of a humpback whale and her calf. We are fortunate that they visit Cape Cod every Summer. Seeing them up close on a whale watch boat is very moving and memorable.
