Practice sketch. Slash.

I kept the ticket for that fantastic evening in 2009. What could go wrong with America, Ambrosia, and John Ford Coley all together on stage! Mind blown. ❤☕

Watercolor, ink & pencil.

"Haraya" Koh-i-noor pencil on Canson watercolor paper.

Youngest client to have her commissioned portrait. .

This is for an art trade with an officemate. A sketch of her face in exchange of wonderful calligraphy. Palomino Blackwing pencil on 300 gsm paper from Prestige Papers. This paper is a blessing shared from one of my fountain pen friends. Thank you so much! .

This modified pocket notebook will be abandoned soon! An art card included in the fun. If you have arts and crafts you'd like to abandon, come join us at https://www.facebook.com/groups/ArtAbandonment

A new set of limited ATC's (artist trading card) abandoned all over the metro. "Vision Serpent", ink (Sailor Kiwaguro and Diamine ancient copper), coffee, pencil, watercolor. The Vision Serpent is a Mayan symbol for rebirth and renewal. Happy New Year! smile emoticon .

Abandoned at a shopping center where people wind down after work and before they commute home. It was a challenge to abandon this notebook inside vehicles, people kept noticing. Dice not included. .

A commissioned pencil portrait of a friend's aunt. A touching reception followed, I was told. Warm fuzzy good vibes right there. 

These ATCs (Artist Trading Cards) were printed and abandoned during the holiday season. The original artwork was sketched with a Koh-i-noor pencil and digitally colored.

Commissioned portrait for a happy couple.

Diferente. Traditional mixed media. .
