Mild mannered artist by day, mild mannered gym rat by night. It's always such a joy to meet new people, be it online or in the flesh, aether or other!
Trying out different brush styles on the software I'm using. There are a couple pencils, crayon and I think a pastel of some kind in there. This may well just end up in the portfolio, but it was fun to do.

No one in particular, but the quote is from Roy Liechtenstein in a 1992 interview. I always liked the simple, colorful style he often used.

Lava lamps are a favorite of mine. There's something fun about drawing their weird liquid shapes.

Hotei with that good energy! Radiation, maybe not so much.

The obligatory gym selfie for the new year! It's not a new me this new year, I'm starting from a good place. And hoping to build on that!

No, it really doesn't make much sense. Embrace the silly!

I'm taking a little hiatus from several social media platforms for the time being. I'll keep posting here, and will keep drawing stuff. The world is just too crazy, so I'm going back to my cave to hide and meditate.

Thank you to Ava Bella for modeling for this #bastet inspired piece. The idea came from the Necronomicon Tarot, illustrated by Anne Stokes. She depicted the High Priestess as Bastet, shown as a lady in a black cat mask.

Gen Xers, seems like either we had a phone like this or knew someone who did!

Coming from Japan, daruma are funny little dolls representing Bodhidharma, who was credited with bringing Buddhism to China around the 5th century. They represent perseverance in reaching your goals, and are often thought to bring good luck.

Finished version of Green Tara, including some of her symbols. I wanted to capture the sense of compassion and humor my own practice has shown me. Maybe a little more Western-ized version of the Mother of Buddhas

Working on a #drawing of Green Tara- I went for a casual, working Tara. She's a prominent figure in many Buddhist traditions, and is described as always ready to help others. So I tried to capture that compassion, humor and strength that I know. More to follow!

Hastur is an Egyptian goddess associated with love, beauty and moms. And she's often depicted with cow ears and horns, which I thought was just the coolest thing ever!

Don't drink the Tenafly Viper! If you've seen 1987's Street Trash, you might get the reference.

Maneki-neko means "beckoning cat", and there's a cool story behind it. A common sight in Japan, one legend tells of a lost monk trying to find his way back to his temple. Fortunately a cat led him along the way, safely back to where he was headed. #Maneki-neko #drawing #illustration #artsky

Currently fooling with a #Tarot inspired design- I'm a big fan of 1992's Batman The Animated Series, especially Harley Quinn's red and black color pallette. I don't want to flat out copy it though. Let's see where it goes!

Whether or not lighting your own fuse is a good idea I'll leave it up to the audience to decide.
