A bit of cafe sketching, loving the blue ink on this creamy paper. #shakeofftherust #relaxedsunday #muji #mujisketchbook #ballpointpen #ink #inkdrawing not really inktober,but sort of counts. #illustration #sketch #observation #lifedrawing #aljournalfranklinii #art

Drawings of a lime tree during a coffee shop convo from the past. Don't worry I'll definitely continue to post my art and drawings on here. This won't become a music blog. #drawing #sketchbook #moleskine #moleskine_arts #ballpointpen #blue #remindsmeofoldchina #limes #limetree #coffeeshop #convos #linework #ink #inkdrawing

Hey guys please go check out @threeflagprod page an donate to the kickstarter for their new film #Stargazer it's an amazing story with some very talented ladies working on it. Plus some music and what not from me. So if you're a fan of my work in anyway, it would mean the world if you donated. They're almost there. I'll post the link here, https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/stargazerfilm/stargazer but it's also in their bio. #donate #support #back #kickstarter #ladiesinfilm #scifi #film #shortfilm

I AM ELOVET: I don't talk about it much on here for a few reasons, but aside from being a visual artist I am also a musician. I go by the name of Elovet and today the fantastic people over @spillmagazine reviewed my most recent ep, "B/Sides Vol.1" which is to celebrate my first full year recording. Please read the fantastic article and enjoy the music. #thisiselovet #elovet #music #musician #review #bsidesvol1 #spillmagazine #spillmagazinereview #multifacetedcreative

I love seeing artists creating art with a strong message and using their voices to spotlight important issues. #trumpwall #ATL #art #artforchange #antitrump #lovetrumpshate #letyourvoicebeheard #streetart #graffiti #wheatpaste

Sorry I've been so absent from here lately, life's been moving a million mikes a minute and I've barely had time to sit and draw anything. Here's a quick ink and marker sketch of a crabby guy to make up for it. There will be more posts soon. I promise. #parallelpens #fabercastell #ink #marker #crab #crabby #linework #drawing #red #claws #maybehesaniceguy #seacritter #linework #aljournalfranklinii

COMMISSIONS TIME: Alright people, here's the deal, I'm in the process of moving and need a little extra cash. So instead of twirling signs in the sun I figure it's time for me to trade artwork for income. However, before I put out a pricing breakdown and officially open commissions I need to check in with you. Would you guys rather have gel pen drawings, possibly featuring luchaboxers or Parallel/brush pen portraits? See the examples above and Comment on this post. let me know if there is any preference, im all ears. #commissions #commissionsopen #decisions #poll #letyourvoicebeheard #gelpens #or #parallelpens #castyourvote #willmakeartformoney #serioslytho #thisisseriousbusinesspeople #art #illustration #illustrator #drawing #linework #aljournalfranklinII

I got pretty upset with Trumps response to all that has been going on with Charlottesville. Especially his apparent uncertainty on which side is the bad side and where he himself stands on everything. So I thought I'd clear it up for him.

Update: gel pens are still fun, and I'm still hooked on drawing these luchaboxer guys. Lol #gelpens #gellyrollpens #art #drawing #ink #inkdrawing #colorful #blackpaperart #illustration #linework #fun #mystrangeaddiction #aljournalfranklinii

Here's the gold luchador again. Just clearer, he's a happy guy...maybe too happy? #art #lucha #luchadore #gold #white #blackpaperart #gelpens #gellyrollpen #gelpenart #drawing #inkdrawing #happyluchador #illustration #linework #aljournalfranklinii

Oh yeah, gel pens are great! Another crazy luchador drawing. This ones just a big face, gotta love gold and white on black paper. #gelpens #gelpen #gold #white #blackpaperart #lucha #luchador #goldteeth #star #shiny #thesedrawingsaresofun #boomerang #justsoyoucanseetheshine #drawing #doodle #drawing #inkdrawing #gellyrollpen #illustration #art #aljournalfranklinii

One of last nights late night doodles. I might start doodling some more of these "luchaboxer" guys. I missed out on the whole gel pen craze back in the day. So I'm just discovering the greatness that is bright gel on black paper.
