Anyone got any Tang and Rice Krispy squares?

Patience, practice and have fun with it dude. A little over a year ago I picked up a sketchpad and pencil and just started doodling my dog lying around the house. I’ll throw on my headphones and listen to music while I let my pencil, pen or paint brush lead me see where we ended up. It’s a great escape and absolutely low stakes. What ever comes out isn’t going to be the Mona Lisa, and who cares? You have made something and that is something to be proud of

I really have to give huge props to Bob. I watch his shows after my bartending job on Wednesday nights and it has definitely given me great techniques for my sketching and water color painting.

It’s so funny- that was the first one I did and I did not set out to do a conifer. I just let my pen lead me and that’s where we ended up

Wow thank you. It’s easier than it seems, watch the video I posted in another comment. I was surprised by how well they come out by just layering little squiggles in the shape of a tree.

 

I came across a YouTube video on doing trees in ink so I figured I’d give it a go. I used a micron 03 tech pen.

I am really fond of your work. The color with this one is excellent!

A quick riff on The Great Wave off Kanagawa I did while feeding my daughter lunch. Watercolor and tech pen

 

I used the tartine basic country bread loaf recipe to throw together these Focaccia. We’re having a block party today and my intent is to slice them in half to make Caprese sandwiches with tomatoes and basil from my garden.

 
 

The original flash was black and gray. I asked my artist to follow his heart with the colors and he absolutely crushed it.

 

I was browsing Craigslist late last night when I came across this Danelectro 56 U-3 reissue from the 90s. It was a pretty good deal with a hard case thrown in so I felt the need to jump on it. She’s in terrific condition with the person I bought it from being the original owner. 3 lipstick pickups, aluminum nut, gotoh tuners, slim neck, and no dings. I can’t wait to plug her in later tonight!
