since it's still October, I'm going to stick to the black and white theme and show you a few more of my "inktober" drawings. I'm enjoying the ink wash and line practice, straight without any pencils first. Find more of these over on
Instagram, if you like.

I'm also doing a lot of sketching for assignments in progress. I think the November challenge will have to be about drawing people, possibly an emphasis on grownups...
In other news; I'm preparing to put a few things in the local holiday sale, working on family Halloween projects, and continuing my personal quest for computer skills (yay
Skillshare)
I've been incorporating more ink wash into my work lately and getting some interesting results! I'm always keen to balance expressiveness with a certain polish and I think this helps to that end.
I know this doesn't look too new (I know, more bunnies!) but in the new year I am focusing on a series of small spot illustrations in black and white.

Keeping with the monochromatic pen and ink approach, a creepy approach to this week's Illustration Friday's subject : mirror. It made me think of Snow White, of course, and I discovered a new (to me) version of the fairytale in a
poem by Anne Sexton - powerful.
Cooling off in the "dog days" with my poodle pal.

Driving home today from the annual Eco-fair flea market, (the city garage sale) which two of my friends were participating in; the word "continuity" popped into my mind. As I was looking at the houses with there widows peaks and old structures, many of the homes dating back to the 1800's, it occurred to me how comfortable it all is. How well I know it. The annual flea market in the city hall
Gogi is an an air spirit that got stuck in cloud. Luckily it's a comfortable cloud.
Here's an old drawing (art school old!) I've been working but have very little I can show. I've recently picked up a small contract from Scholastic Education for a very small kids book. So that's some good news. I'm also experimenting with drawing white on black in my spare time. I'll share some soon....
Here's a sketch of one of my favorite writers the revered horror writer H.P. Lovecraft. I read his stuff pretty young and it really, really scared me. He taught me the pleasure in being scared, which is a useful tool in life. The Wikipedia entry is good but you really need to read his work to get it. It's totally unique, though you'll likely recognize something of his work in contemporary horror movies and books. His work is incredibly relevant and fresh seventy years after they were written. As an aside there are some amazing Lovecraft book covers by a great number of amazing artists. I recommend hunting down one with a Mignola or Palencar cover but there are plenty more great ones. However you can read all his work for free here.
I should warn you, this author changed my outlook on life. He expanded the shadows deeper and made sure I understood my mind would totally break if I could actually see what's there. He certainly makes things more interesting.
Here's a pin up up I did for the comic Iron, or The Propagandist By the extremely talented S.M. Vidaurri, one of the reasons I'm grateful for the internet is introducing me to great people like him. The comic is amazing, please check it out.
Another favorite Dungeons & Dragons monster, the Bugbear. A great gobliny beast.
It's been an interesting week for me.
Top Shelf released its new website featuring Maddy Kettle quite prominently. This led to me being featured in really cool places like
here and
here. Also, the
Spectrum award has been in the nerd news a bit too, really great week.
Work wise, I just finished a couple of pieces for the upcoming
Steampunk Reloaded anthology as well as a
tarot card for SuperPunch, which is filled with amazing artists. You can check out my card
here. I'm also contributing a sword and sorcery short story to a new pulp magazine. More on that soon. And now I've moved on to book covers before returning to comics.
I'm planning to return to
Nova Scotia for a visit in the middle of April. I'm feeling a bit home sick and I miss the ocean. Before I go there are a couple of concerts I'd like to see, anyone interested in joining me? The first is indie folk harp player
Joanna Newsom at the Pheonix in Toronto on March 13th. The second is a
pagan heavy metal show headlined by Finntroll, and that's at the Opera House in Toronto on April 12th. Drop me a line if either shows sound interesting to you.
I've started playing Dungeons & Dragons again having finally found a group in Toronto to play with. To celebrate I've done sketches of some of my favorite monsters from the game.
A sketch of Pinocchio from last night.
A Valkyrie from a college ptroject on Norse mythology and folklore. Looking at this piece now i can see the direction I was going in combining drawing and painting.
this is lovely, the leaves and flowers are beautifully observed too. spot illustrations sound like a good idea for the new year.
