@NaomiSkarzinski The good news is, it's never too late to start making art.

I do the occasional live stream and if you need an art friend to b.s. with, you're welcome to join me in the stream (or the stream's chat). But I"m on Hawaii time, so I rarely sync up my free time with others.

@NaomiSkarzinski Thank you kindly. I try to put up at least one a week, but the subject matter is all over the place.

Steampunk Widow

Was overdue for a personal live stream so I decided to draw a steampunk Black Widow to fill the void. Sadly I forgot to click record for about the first 40 minutes, so I had to pull the video off the stream itself. So apologies up front for the slight lower resolution and the ticker seen at the bottom of the replays.

From tonight's Wakanda themed Drink & Draw. I was in a sketch mode so I could get through a few characters.

I love the movie Nimona and would like everyone to watch it. But I get that not everyone has Netflix. Well, with the Annie Awards over, Netflix has kindly put it on Youtube for everyone to watch.

So what are you waiting for? Go watch it dangit!

There was a Comic Jam Hawaii Drink & Draw on Valentines' Day, so I drew this "ship." I'm going with DinnBo for the the name. Anyone else ship these two?

With Madame Web out in theaters I guess spidery women were in my head. So this excises that thought.

I was remind of the poem "Spider and the Fly" by Mary Howitt (1829). The first line is "Will you walk into my parlour?" said the spider to the fly.

Go on. Enter. What's the worst that could happen. 😃

Will you walk into my parlor...

With Madam Web out, I guess spidery women are on my mind. Letting the ink dry before I attempt to add some color.

More experimenting with a Lanxivi X1 Retractable Fountain Pen. I used black masking tape to fatten the barrel grip area.

I tend to have a heavy hand when drawing which can spread nibs. The ib feels very solid and the flow has been smooth and steady since the get go. Capped it's pretty short, about 4-1/3 inches, so it's compact. With the cap screwed on the back and the nib extended it's about 5-1/2 inches.

Picked it up on Amazon for about $45 USD.

I must have missed something. No idea what this about.

"Emotional Baggage"

Something to kick off a Saturday morning and maybe a bit reflective of mood of late. It also gave me a an excuse to try out a new Lanxivi X1 retractable fountain pen

I was guest on "Sketch Up with Mog & Mel" as they had on the creative team behind "Dracula 1944". Since their book is about a Vampire I figured I should draw one...or two.

There is a meme with Nandor talking to Gulliermo about his favorite muppet being the vampire on Sesame Street. I'll let you look it up.
