Drawing Wolf

🖤 To the bestest of your abilities 🖤 had to get this one off my chest. Our actions mean something, and our patience will yield worthwhile results. Move with care if at all. https://www.instagram.com/p/B_gNvzsjXnw/?igshid=1tay9z50e1gr5

Today, last year, @cudeastbound and I spent a day in the studio working on this Rabbit of Inlé from Watership Down. Looking forward to our next session, we still plan on adding some more around this sweet bun. . . . #watershipdown #rabbit #rabbittattoo #wstershipdowntattoo https://www.instagram.com/p/B-iLxZJDbqC/?igshid=2mrdg8dp2ex8

Percival Trail/Port Washington. Another stop on my "staircases to nowhere" walk. Watching the driftwood make their pit stops along their trek cross the seas. I'll take my coffee down and just stand and stare out at the water, and down at my gum boots. . . . . #inkart #islandlife #inkdrawing #driftwood https://www.instagram.com/p/B-NTC7OD3Vr/?igshid=9rssojkmftea

A morning walk to Grimmer Bay. One in a series of Stairwells to the Ocean. Since moving to this small island, many moons ago, I've fallen in love with stairwells to "nowhere". They are usually steep and rickety, and if the tide is high, they simply plunge into the ocean. When the tide is low, a lovely beach awaits, filled with tidal pools waking up from their naps. . . . . #drawings #island #penderisland #stairwells #stairwellart #ocean #pnwart #oceanart #inkart #inkdrawing https://www.instagram.com/p/B-K2OA-jd5W/?igshid=qgp1ogq0u6d0

#Wip. Gloomy sunday. I cleaned my desk space today. I am learning to be okay with not knowing what is around the corner. Reviewing my priorities and taking my time. They say "when things return to normal" but what does that mean? "Normal" it seems, wasn't enough. Maybe we can do better than "Normal". . . . #studio #artspace #process #sketchbook #wolf #wolfart #forestart https://www.instagram.com/p/B-DpYydDNTm/?igshid=1eihafennqjva

Slower, quieter days call for some reflection and looking back (after safety and care precautions, of course #washyourhands #helpoutsomeoneinneed). My partner had the idea to pick a favourite tattoo from each year and post them. I had a hard time selecting one from each year. Instead I've decided to post some old favourites from various years. I will follow this post up later in the week with some more recent favs. Here are some early-on Izzy tats (2014-2017) as well as an old selfie just for kicks. Some of these are favourites because they were revelatory in my practice, either technically or emotionally. Some are favourites because of what they meant to me or my client/friend at the time--some I like because I can see hints of what is to come later, just peaking through. It's really neat to observe and honour what is past and how I have grown as an artist. https://www.instagram.com/p/B9zMqj1llTe/?igshid=1nva737h505yz

Big critters! Who's your favourite? . . . . . #blackworktattoo #darkartists #blackworkerssubmission #rabbittattoo #cthulutattoo #raventattoo #hawktattoo #drawingwolfstudio #wolftattoo https://www.instagram.com/p/B92zRBvlPjT/?igshid=sqr09xn3cwi2
