Carter's Ink

Well, it has been too long.  Work has really gotten in the way of life lately.  These past few weeks have been 70 hour weeks or more.  Most of my days off are spent at work.  I come home completely exhausted.  I finally convinced myself that I had to do something for me.  It was fun to draw and paint again.  I hope that I will continue.
This is an old Carter's ink from the 40's (maybe) and a Modern Conway Stewart fountain pen.  It is painted on Arches Hot Press.

I think I will need to try this one again, someday.  Enough said, it is what it is.  It is good to be painting again and I hope I  can keep it going!

More Hot Sauce

I sat and drew this and painted  it as I was watching tv.  It was a quick one.  Large Moleskine watercolor notebook.

Various Doodles

In the spirit of catching up for the Fam!  Thanks, Trin, for the gentle nudge!  I gathered up all of my scraps of paper with this variety of doodles. Some depict real pens and others are from my imagination.  Some have very exaggerated and stylized parts like the nibs.  These doodles were then pasted into my journal to create this spread.

Been Awhile

I posted this awhile back on flickr.  But my family got on my case about not posting anything on my blog.  So, I will attempt to get a couple of these caught up.  This is in a small Moleskine watercolor notebook.  It was a fun one to do.

Recent dabblings



Some recent and quick sketches.  I haven't been a total slacker!

Izabella

Beautiful Izzy!

Introducing Izabella!  Proud parents are Trina and Ethan! Izzy arrived Tuesday evening weighing in at 8 pounds 2 ounces!  A big baby for tiny Trina.  Too big requiring a C section.  Trina and Izzy are doing well.  It is really exciting to see your children having children, especially their first!  Trina and Ethan are Great parents and Izzy is a lucky little lady!  It has been fun to see Ethan as a father.  Whenever someone was holding her and she would cry, Ethan would jump up and walk over to her and calmly talk to her and rub her head and she would calm down and quit crying!  Wow! Both of my boys are wonderful Dads, much better than I!
My daughter is a wonderful Mom too.  Have I gushed enough!?
