Egg, a sketchbook play piece that came about using a checkered stamp I carved and some pens and colored pencil. ‘22
Hooo boy, let’s try to describe this as best we can… four square checkerboards of different colors (made from the same handcarved stamp) are stacked 2x2 at the bottom of the page. The top two are not aligned with the bottom two, so there’s a big black space between the top squares. Inserted into the black space is the corner of another checkerboard as if it fell and got stuck in between the two checkerboard squares stacked at the bottom of the page. The askew checkerboard has three more checkerboard squares balancing at random angles on top of it, with the third top-most square cut halfway off the top of the page. Behind the checkerboards are a bunch of stripes and lines of varying thicknesses and a few checkered or colored sections. Everything is flat and 2-dimensional, save for a tiny cubby located in the square that’s aligned on the top layer of the bottom stack of squares. In that cubby is a little 3-dimensional drawing of an egg.

La Femme et la Plante, digital doodle, ‘19/20
A digital drawing of an impossibly thin and slinky woman with a sharp blonde bob haircut wearing a skin tight maroon gown with a hem that expands out onto the floor. She is draped in strings of pearls and wearing clunky bangles on her wrist. She is standing / leaning on a table with a white tablecloth and an empty champagne flute. The champagne flute has red lipstick on the rim. There’s a leafy green plant similar to string of pearls or philodendron hanging in a planter behind her.

Octopus. Quite possibly the finest thing I’ve ever drawn. ‘22 maybe?
A pen doodle of an octopus, though admittedly it could easily be mistaken for a squiggly sun or maybe some form of amoeba or a squished bug. Regardless, it has a smiley face in the center.

Dracaena, colored pencil sketchbook doodle, ‘24
A colored pencil sketch of a dracaena… fragrans, I think? Commonly known as a corn plant. While the plants are green and yellow in real life this one is made up of red and blue leaves with green/yellow variegated stripes through the middle of them.

Cool Cat, digital doodle ‘21
A super cool pink and yellow fluffy cat wearing a tropical button-up shirt and a slick pair of blue sunglasses. This super hip feline is sitting unbothered next to a coconut that’s been filled with a delicious cocktail and is garnished with a silly straw and a tiny red umbrella. The background is a noisy colorful hodgepodge of stripes made up of blues, greens, yellows

Rainbow Zoo. Digital sketchbook play. I made a bunch of amorphous blobs in various colors and then drew whatever animal I felt like that blob “wanted” to be. Fun little challenge. ‘22

Afternoon Dreaming. Digital drawing, ‘22
Digital drawing of a purple woman with short wavy dark purple hair, wearing a neutral colored cardigan. She’s sitting at a table with her head resting on her right fist and a lit joint in her left hand. She’s looking to the right with a relaxed/sleepy eyed face while smoke from the joint lingers lazily in front of her.

Sketchbook play using stamps I carved, ‘22
Uh… how do I describe this? Kinda a checkered pattern made up of stripey squares and blank boxes. Inside the blank boxes are outlines of cat heads, and in the bottom box the cat’s head is partially outside the box as if the cat is lingering in the doorway. There are some Basquiat-esque crown spikes on the side of the page. The stripes and cat heads are made from hand carved stamps.

Neighborhood street view. Colored pencil sketch using a house stamp I carved as the base. ‘22
A row of three pastel colored houses. The one on the far right is on fire. A row of three houses stamped on paper. Embellished with pen to add trees, welcome mats, and other unique traits on each house. Above them is the hand carved stamp of the house leaning against the pen that was used to add embellishments

I’m a Banana! Old sketchbook nonsense
Sketchbook page - top half is full of rainbow bricks, bottom half of page is a slightly overripe banana with thin line arms and tiny fists upraised in triumph. Speech bubble proclaiming, “I’m a Banana!”

Art project from last year, playing with some stamps I carved.
12 cards each about 2x3” in size. Each has a uniquely similar composition made using the same hand-carved stamps and a variety of colors. Each composition features a mix and match of a teapot, one-two mugs, and occasionally a slice of pie.

Pot variety, digital drawing followed by the original old sketchbook drawing that it’s based on
An assortment of different tea/coffee pots in a variety of shapes, sizes and patterns. Scattered among them are three different vases holding different flowers. At the bottom right there’s a to-go coffee cup with two flowers sticking out the lid like an impromptu bud vase. A physical sketchbook page showing an assortment of hand-drawn tea/coffee pots in a variety of shapes, sizes and patterns. Scattered among them are three different vases holding different flowers and a couple mugs. There’s also a tiny creamer jug in the middle. At the bottom right there’s a to-go coffee cup sadly lacking any flowers.
