I’m Dug. Living in Metro Detroit I put in 25 years as a page-builder (graphic designer) until the small paper I worked for closed. Now (mostly) retired I’m returning to my surrealist roots, usually working with traditional pen and pencil drawing & polymer clay sculpture

Here is a sampling of my art

Die Wickelkinder der Schnecklinge (Gastropoda nanus) sind noch winziger als die adulten Exemplare. Zum Schlafen werden sie in Gruppen im Moos abgelegt. Also Vorsicht beim Spaziergang im Wald!

Heuschnecke (Gastropoda fenum)
Die Heuschnecke ist eine Kreuzung, von der nicht ganz ausgemacht ist, ob es sich dabei um einen Schneck oder um einen Schreck handelt.

Quick Leopard Shark (Triakis semifasciata) sketch/study for #FishyFriday.

I will soon be doing a larger, more detailed piece and I'm just trying to understand some of the ins and outs of their patterns.

Der Schneckenhund benötigt ein passendes Türmchenschneckenhaus für sein ungeschütztes Hinterteil. Hat er eines gefunden, wälzt er sich selig damit im Sand.

My pen running out of ink seems like a sign that the drawing is done. This one is Canmore, Alberta. #mountainart #nature

Me? After running another Inktober gauntlet and it’s 31 prompts I decided to draw something for myself and maybe renew my artistic license.

On a recent cider mill trip I got some reference photos of these gorgeous heirloom pumpkins. This 8.5 x 11 drawing took a while

In progress: "Untitled Christmas gift for my girlfriend and mother-in-law", oil on canvas, 24x36". Playing around with placement of stuff today, populating the bench with foxglove, a fern frond & gardening gloves.
