Taking your dog for a walk is a good remedy for Monday morning grumpyness ... although apparently it doesn't work for everybody.

A bit of a pen and ink sketching experiment with some digital colour added -- quite happy with the final result of the combination of the loose line and the minimalist, simple colours.

Love at first sniff...

Have been playing around with these loose and fun pen, ink and watercolour illustrations of dogs for a local community project.

...and here's also wishing a happy New Year to everybody following this blog and hope that 2011 rocks!

Port Elizabeth Doodles

Spent a couple of days in Port Elizabeth attending a conference on Science communication (also speaking there...) -- had lots of time to fill sketchbook pages during some excrutiating presentations... enjoy... will post more soon. (blogger willing)

Brushpen mania!!

A little bit of an intense/hectic/frantic/insane/caffeine-fueled/bizarre/creative(hopefully) drawing session recently using a very nice brushpen and a wee spot of watercolour and whiteout dropped in later... I'll let the drawings speak for themselves ;-)
