Here's my #bestnine2016 #2016bestnine . It's so weird to me that my unfinished sketches are more popular than my finished artwork. Hope I'm not screwing up too badly in my finals. Anyway, 2016 has been a garbage year for my family, we've had it rough, I'm glad to see it coming to a close. I hope 2017 will be better. . . . #drawing #sketch #sketchbook #artwork #painting #portrait #pendrawing #ink #ballpointpen #genewilder #fox #janeway #katemulgrew #illustration #artistoninstagram #instaart #gelpen #zebraf301 #mscotthammond #frame #fire #moon #realism #graphicdesign #travelersnotebook

We all know it's not Christmas time until we watch Hans Gruber fall from Nakatomi Tower. Alan Rickman always played the best villains. 😢 . . #alanrickman #diehard #christmas #merrychristmas #hohoho #hansgruber #illustration #christmascard #graphicdesign #typography #artwork #portrait #photoshop #instaart #instacool #holidays #mscotthammond

Hanging artwork in your kitchen is dangerous with toddlers about. My son managed to fall off his chair, slam into the wall and knock down my "Deco Trooper" drawing. So much for that framing job, it split in the corner. And yes, my son is just fine, collisions are his pastime. . . . #drawing #toddlers #artist #artistoninstagram #artwork #stormtrooper #startwars #fanart #artdeco #noir #blackandwhite #artistlife #mscotthammond #illustration

Ladies and gentilemen, I present to you my sad fruitless attempt at #Inktober. Alas, the monumental tugs of the world at large prevented me from truly engaging in the challenge. It gave me a bit of the sads to be honest. So, to purge myself of this vile negative thought, I've decided to profit off my pain and sell these buggers. I can't have them just lying here reminding me if my defeat. So off they go. . . .

Look everyone, I'm finally drawing again. I've been awhile, and now it's time to make some cool stuff. So one of my friend and patrons has commissioned me to make a cool thing. So a cool thing is what I shall make. It's beginning! . . . #drawing #sketch #doodle #face #portrait #pencildrawing #pencilart #art artwork artistoninstagram #tonedpaper #pencil #graphitedrawing #mscotthammond

#tbt I did this tiny 4"x4" painting years ago, probably in 2010 hole living in North Texas. My mom had it framed and it was hanging in their house when I came to visit. I thought the frame was stunning.

Came back to the national gallery and compared my finished sketch to the original. They don't look so bad together. . . . #sketch #sketchbook #traveljournal #artjournal #vermeer #arthistory #washingtondc #painting #art #artistoninstagram #drawing #ballpointpen #zebraf301 #penart #penandink

Spent some time learning from the master himself. It's always amazing to get to draw from the work in person, you really get to drink in all the magnificence. . . . #vermeer #fineart #sketchbook #sketch #draw #drawing #penart #pendrawing #pensketch #ballpointpen #zebraf301 #fineartdrawing #traveljournal #travelsketchbook #instawow #instacool #mscotthammond

"When the mystic began his melodic incantation, the once dull crystal began to glow, singing along with his rhythmic recitation. The ancient temple wall slowly awakened from its millennial slumber. The hidden markings of bizarre glyphs illuminated the moldering outer wall."

Warren Ives Gilman, 5th generation denizen of Innsmouth and a faithful member of the order of Dagon.
