More Moleskine Pages

I finished this 2-page spread in my moleskine today.  It is based on a prompt found in one of my art groups. 

Acrylic paint background with cut paper scrap flowers and finished with a black Indian ink pen.

No Stone Left Unturned

I doodled this over the weekend.   The piece is slightly larger than 6" x 4".  Colorful scrapbook papers cut and pasted onto card stock, then doodled heavily with Indian ink pens.

I am considering a series of these to combine into one large piece.

More Moleskine Doodles

I'm still working to fill my little moleskine notebook. It has 192 pages ... so I still have a long way to go.

My little notebook has become a bit bulgy.

The inside covers are filled with stamps and stickers, and the pages contain my doodles, drawings, collages, poetry, random thoughts, and occasional paintings.

Happy Birthday Zine

I just finished another mini zine. This one is themed "Happy Birthday" and features 8 pages of jokes, quotes, factoids, and doodles.

I created this dually (is that a word?) for a mini-zine swap over at swap-bot & also to send out to some of my art buddies for their birthdays.

I had fun putting it together and am happy with the results! I made a couple extra copies for trading, so if you have zines for swapping - give me a holler.

Doodles & Daydreams


Doodles and Daydreams: Your Passport for Becoming an Escape Artist tries to focus you on your hopes and dreams with a bit of fantasy and whimsy - to give you an escape from the everyday drudgery that tends to suck you in.

I picked this book up awhile back and have been completing little bits here and there. I haven't run across any other artist's postings from this book, so I thought I would share a bit of mine:

The table of contents page starts you off with a quick dot-to-dot. I was compelled to fill mine in with doodles (of course).

Here is a tiny snippet from one page...
The prompt reads: "Design a new flower bulb. What is it called? Draw here."

I will continue to post pages from this book time to time. *Feel free to share if you are also working through this book.

Bubble Toes

I hope I'm never too old to do silly things ... such as dip my feet in paint.  ha-ha.

Another page from my Wreck This Journal.

There were no instructions for this page. It is the page facing my "Trace Your Hand" page.

Acrylic paint footprint & tiny bubbles doodled all around with an Indian ink pen.

Picking up where I left off ...

Here's a scan of the progress on the doodle from my last post.  I am thinking about adding some color to it.

Drawn with Faber Castell PITT pen - F tip, and shaded with a brush tip Faber Castell PITT pen in grey.
