ALL HER ENGINES

…Now off to sleep for like a week, lol. 😂 😴

Charles & Edwin’s relationship is just so beautiful/devastating in its myriad depths, and I can’t wait to rewatch the whole season like, naiow. 🥰 ❤️

Honestly love these two so so much T-T. Doing a quick colour doodle of them was super fun, and definitely tempted to draw them again 😂

PS: Both this and Harrow will be available in 11” x 17” print form at Otafest this upcoming weekend! (I’ll be at the charity Sketch Drive all three days)! If you’re planning on coming out to the Con, stop by and say hi! :)

Anyway, here’s Harrowhark Nonagesimus from The Locked Tomb series! :) Enjoy!

Actually managed to complete another book fanart print for this year’s Otafest; Kaz Brekker, the Magnificent Bastard from Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. :D

Progress continues on the creature project (in collaboration with @geistkarl); @seawhiteofbrighton accordion pages are getting long/difficult to photograph. 😂 We have discovered some remnants (a baffling array of feathers and scales, and even fragments of a skull!) - - - - - - #sketchbook #naturalistillustration #illustration #creature #chiloe #monsters #seawhiteofbrighton #characterdesign #environment #history #women #femaleillustrator #feathers #skulls #birds #sepia #winsornewtonwatercolors #inprogress #artistsoninstagram (at Calgary, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP9PUpbBJ_A/?utm_medium=tumblr

Had some time off work over the last couple weeks and managed to get out to the Rockies to do a bit of hiking/plein air painting. Have to say, hoping to get out there a lot more because I could definitely feel the positive mental health effect almost instantly. :) Dunno that I’ll be hauling my whole watercolour box with me again tho (for bear safety at least). 😂 - - - - - #watercolour #canadianartist #rockies #mountains #hikingadventures #nature #winsornewtonwatercolors #banff #kananaskis #grottocanyon #sundancecanyon #vintage #illustration #artistsoninstagram (at Canadian Rocky Mountains, Alberta Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPXCyh9BvOZ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Funny when a completely lulz-based joke project gets you working on something actually productive by accident. 😂 Spent today working on the next fold in my @seawhiteofbrighton accordion sketchbook. Using this much colour is still a challenge, tbh...dunno if I passed. In related news: Butterfly Koi are now officially in the “swishy lines” bank of Things I Like To Draw, apparently. >.> - - - - - - #sketchbook #watercolorpainting #gouache #pentelbrushpen #winsorandnewtonwatercolors #koi #illustration #colour #fish #picturebook #studies #personalwork #challenge #water #natureillustration #artistsoninstagram (at Calgary, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNtlCt1hlJX/?igshid=pt3kgdm05vp5

Coming up tomorrow (March 11th) at 17:00 GMT (10 am MST)! I’ll be speaking for the Stirling Maxwell Centre at the University of Glasgow on newspaper comics, webcomics (especially Little Nemo), and where both intersect when it comes to the difficulties of preservation...with a little smattering of my own work thrown in. :) For anyone that would like to attend, zoom link in profile! - - - - - #comics #talks #academia #popculture #preservation #conservation #winsormccay #littlenemo #webcomics #internet #culture #illustration #artistsoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CMP3ziph-Lx/?igshid=1p163ayxs60oi

@remeberingeugeneouchi was an incredible man and designer, but the thing that truly comes to mind when I think about him is the way that I truly found my way with watercolour in his Media Exploration class. The impact of those classes on my work is impossible to overstate, and I really owe Eugene a huge debt of gratitude. Today usually acts as an opportunity for so many of us from the Calgary Creative community whose lives he impacted to come together. The fact that things are different this year is yet another thing that this pandemic has taken, but I decided to view it as a chance to make something in his honour: a red crested crane in watercolour and gouache. <3 Thanks for everything, Euge. - - - - - - #rememberingeugene #eugeneouchi #inmemoriam #memorial #watercolour #gouache #traditionalart #bird #redcrestedcrane #japan #tribute #naturalistillustration #illustration #artistsoninstagram (at Calgary, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMBKRn_BIok/?igshid=1hhvgzd6zn178

Oh my goodness actual artwork! :O Had a bit of fun today just playing in this accordion sketchbook by @seawhiteofbrighton. Probably the most colourful thing I’ve posted in a while; still giving on that metallic screen print ink 😂 - - - - - - #sketch #sketchbook #watercolour #gouache #seawhite #workinprogress #seawhiteofbrighton #fox #flowers #pretty #woman #garden #nature #accordionbook #colourful #winsorandnewton #illustration #artistsoninstagram (at Calgary, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKlQ7wAh3tl/?igshid=og6ktxtlny1h

Warmest and merriest of Yuletide Seasons everyone! Wishing you all a wonderful, peaceful, and joyous Christmas and all the best for the coming year! So grateful for so many things this year, including how many wonderful friends/family I have in my life. Had a little too much fun with the gold silkscreen ink @samannmoe left me two years ago making these though 😂 - - - - - #merrychristmas #happychristmas #seasonsgreetings #yule #saturnalia #joy #warmestwishes #love #friends #birb #birbstagram #robin #cardinal #pine #christmascard #illustration #watercolor #artistsoninstagram (at Calgary, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJO4VrChxHx/?igshid=1g6eq5buzi75z

Inktober Day 17: Back to the original prompt list with this one because finally, an evocative word 😂 Already used the obvious one back in 2018 so went to the inevitable next place for storm imagery: the sea. :P Prompt: Storm - - - - - - - #inktober #inktober2020 #inktoberprompts #drawlloween #halloween #spooky #ink #pendrawing #penandink #storm #sea #lighthouse #waves #pentelbrushpen #staedtler #handlettering #blueacorn #pigmabrush #sketchbook #illustration #illustrator #artistsoninstagram (at Calgary, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CG6oHGPhf5E/?igshid=z7jlxtqnrbpt
