A Love Affair with Illustrations

A love affair with illustrations is what keeps me coming back to the drafting table even on days when I'm very short on time.

My Q alphabet illustrations cover the gamut from Quay to Queen. They weren't done with Quink ink, but they were drawn freehand!

N is for Nachos and New Illustrations - because who doesn't like nachos (or nectarines?) Needless to say, I had a lot of fun drawing these!

I've been obsessed with shoes of late, so that's probably why creating this Designer Shoes - An Illustrated Guide Moleskine art was so fun!

L is for Love and Other Illustrations - yet another Alphabet Illustration spread in my Moleskin art sketchbook. Enjoy!

Creating this Loopy Fruit Art took a lot of discipline, patience and thought - needless to say, my mind was anything but loopy!

Here's another set of illustrations in my alphabet series. Creating the I is for Illustrate art was my coping mechanism for a gloomy day!

I used my newly repaired vintage fountain pen to draw my D is for Drummer (+ Other Illustrations) spread in my Moleskine art sketchbook.

In this real time drawing video, a lazy candlestick emerges from my pen (and imagination.) Only a few brain cells were burned in the process!

The latest illustration from my Moleskine sketchbook was a riff on a theme. Or, more precisely, I used my lines to play around with the A-Line!
