I’m outta here!

   For those of you who are wondering how I’m getting around after my recent surgery, it’s going something like this. You cannot stand still, or let minor inconveniences slow you down! Gotta keep moving! Keep running the race! 

  “I thought I was a poor man because I had no shoes, until I met a man with no feet”

This is the first piece I’ve finished since the operation. Dang medication had me loopy!

Finished inks

Here are the inks for my latest set of ‘Clamcakes.’ These are all hand done. I’m quite old school that way, kind of. While I can do these digitally, I much prefer the hand drawn approach. At the same time, I can do them (and have done them) with the really old school Crow Quill pen(s) and ink well. I love inking them that way, but it takes longer. So, I use Fudenasuke “brush” pens and Micron pens.

In this era of everything being digital, particularly with the advent of AI, I feel it’s more important than ever to keep these techniques alive! And, until they come up with an autopen for drawing, this will remain a human endeavor.
