I drew this in a very round about way using a ballpoint pen.

Kitten invasion
Every night I have two dinner companions. They love little bits of chicken or pork but their absolute favorite is shrimp. They go nutz for shrimp.

The river and the moon
Colored pencil and pen
Los Angeles 2018
There is an appeal to illustration that transcends subject. My art is a reflection of nature. My art is my meditation.
Somewhere, even in deconstruction, there is a promise of reconstruction. My art is my reminder.
When we dream the mind is at play. My art is my ouija board. I ask questions. My art answers.

I tinkered with this drawing a lot. To the point where the paper is falling apart.

Our kitten invasion continues. There are three of them. All three grey and white and all three little bundes of kitten energy.
And cute.
I call this one Spider.

The 90s Song Ever - Quarterfinals 1
As usual, listen to both songs before voting, and define "better" any way you wish! (Although by now, you've probably heard all these songs many times over.)

A blue, so long ago
colored pencil and black sharpie
Calbayog City 2024
The Philippine Sea is a deep almost violet blue.
It came to me in a dream once.
And now I'm here.
But I'm not there.
And isn't that where I've always been?
This drawing is pretty much done, but it's not done.
In any case, I've moved on to the next piece.
Write that on my tombstone.

I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
And in the end it doesn't even matter

I used to draw this little dog. I just thought he was cute that's all. Then one day I posted the above drawing to a Facebook group and not only did the drawing get removed but I got kicked out of the group! It was kind of funny 😎
Here he is again!

Reading tea leaves
ballpoint pen and alcohol
Calbayog City 2024
These drawings are like reading tea leaves. I draw a bit then I splash alcohol on it and see what the smearing tells me to do next. This particular drawing I actually made on the backside of another drawing using the bleed through. Really fun when a face starts looking back at me..

Sean, my 8yo son, told me this is the worst drawing I have ever done.
He might be right, but what does that mean̈?
