Hoping to post photos of some of my art. I've grown to like my hobby because it forces me to notice the world rather than simply consume it.
Here is another Christmas decoration. This one is based on a memory game that uses Penguins, which the recipient loves to play because she's good at it.

Here is a very non-traditional-type present decoration, perhaps for a young child that finds farts fun. Sorry, but I'm an uncle and I am duty-bound by decades of tradition...

One of the things I like to do around the holidays is make gift tags and fascinators? You get to bang out a bunch of tiny scenes that add a personal touch. Here's a present decoration I made for an exercise elf...

I saw a photo of a Serval Wildcat online and thought it would be an interesting subject. The long legs aren't mistakenly drawn, they must be quite fast.

After seeing Ralph Steadman's show "and another thing..." I wanted to draw something up with concentric circles for eyes. This is Mr. Pleasealot, who says please a lot (i.e. Children please!)

I suggest you see Ralph Steadman's touring show "and another thing..." if/when it comes near you. I very much enjoyed the experience, anyway.

Here is another figure practice. I added some background bits-and-bobs.

I've been practicing my watercolor figures. I found an exercise I liked and here is the result. I'll post a link to the exercise in the comments.

I was playing around with those faces you sometimes see carved into very old graves. I decided this would be discreet nude, as well as a subtle design for a queen-of-diamonds card.

Here is a graphite drawing of an owl. It might be a Northern saw-whet owl that I stylized with zentangle.

This is a pen copy after a ship by Maude Lewis. There is a film called Maudie if you would like to know more about her and her artwork. I needed something to decorate a notebook of drawing paper and liked this elegant design.

Here is a pen and watercolor drawing of President Gaius, Supreme leader of the Apes. I like the way the material of the coat came out with just a simple crosshatch.

Here is a pen and fountain-pen (for shaded areas) drawing of a crossword puzzler. Who doesn't love the best cheese store?

Here is a charcoal and woodstove-coal drawing of a chapel in Evergreen Cemetery in Portland, Maine. I think it was in the fall and towards evening. I was probably thinking about Halloween.

This pen drawing shows that, when you recognize a face you can ignore a lot.

I like this as an idea for a tattoo. It is the goose that delivers good vibrations far and wide. It came from a watercolor about a Beach Boys song. Here it is in isolation as a sharpie drawing on a piece of brown backing material.

Here is a small portrait in gouache on black paper. As I recall the subject was an old codger in a newspaper article.

Here is another watercolor and ink painting depicting a woman lifting (in this case a squat). I used the ladies restroom icon with minor modifications to depict the lady lifter. The message is simple, girls can lift heavy.
