My Best Art

My best art from the past 20 years:
 
************ 
I use Sharpies and other alcohol markers, Crayola and Prismacolor pencils, Micron and Prismacolor fineliners, gel pens, Inktense pencils, acrylic paints, Posca pens, Triplus markers, and other pens in these pieces. I also have some digital art drawn in Photoshop. 
 
Most of them are untitled. I used to have some of these posted on Deviantart.com and they had titles, but I'm no longer on that site, and I forgot what I titled them! :D

"Purple Aster"
 
"Cuckoo"
 
"Sweetie"
 
"Blossom"


 
 "On An Afternoon In Utopia 2"
 
A drawing I've had hidden away in my sketchbook for a couple of years. Today I decided to make it a fall-themed thing.

 
10/2/2025: I actually sketched this design out years ago for a commissioned piece. It was originally done in rainbow colors, cause that's what the person wanted. For these versions, I removed some details of the design, and used different colors.
 
10/2/2025: "Squiggle Clock" I have a jar with bits of paper on my desk. Various drawing prompts are written on the bits of paper. Today I pulled out one with the word "pendulum" on it. So I drew a whole clock. :) Inspired by antique gingerbread clocks.
 
10/1/2025: "Queen Of Spades"
 
 
9/29/2025:  Redraw of two of my older pieces from 2014. I changed up the colors a bit. I didn't scan these, because it ends up ruining the colors. I just took photos of them with my phone. These were drawn on smooth Strathmore bristol.



"That House" 
 
 "Sugar Sugar"

 
 "Believer"
Another character I invented, His name is Merrick. He's afraid of teddy bears and fights them with a plunger. :D
 
                             "Plunger and Broom"
 
 
"Walkin the Dawg"

 
"Clock No. 13" Inspired by another artist's piece by the same name. No, I didn't copy it. Theirs was much more amazing than this, and was totally different. I've tried finding the piece again on Deviantart, but since its from over a decade ago, it doesn't show up in the search. :( If I ever find who the artist is, I'll credit them here for the inspiration. Look at all my marker streaks! :D
Inspired by an old poster of a dancer that I cant remember the name of. :D
 
When I was still on Deviantart, I would draw a Queen of Hearts around Valentines day every year.
