A digital drawing in Sketchbook Pro, based on a rose I saw in bloom. I like this light-on-dark neon look.

Quarry (Ink Drawing)
This drawing is based on a picture I took. I visited a local quarry. It was so pretty! I was enchanted with the light and dark of the landscape, and the planes of the rocks. This is a study sketch that I felt came out really well. (To view at a higher resolution, click here.)
Martinez (Landscape Drawing)
I felt like getting back to drawing on paper recently. This is a quick sketch study of Martinez, CA, from the view of a nearby park. Minimal and simple, but still visually interesting, I think. I used a small, black Micron pen.
Martinez, CA. 9.5″ x 6, ink on paper.
Girl in a Wrap (drawing)
Did a small, little unfinished figure drawing today. I enjoyed making lots of lines and just letting my brain come up with whatever it felt like. I used a reference photo for a girl in a wrap as a very loose concept. The colors in the wrap and various other squiggly lines that I seem to be obsessed with lately are my brain child. This is very rough, but was relaxing and fun. I’m not super happy with the upper portion of her — her head — but as for her neck and shoulders, and the rest of her physique, I am very pleased with those lines. I may come back to this and add in her facial features, or just leave this as a exercise. Everything doesn’t have to be a polished, finished product.
The full image. You can see her full figure. I especially like the wrap colors!
The same image, but zoomed in and focused on her bust, and the wrap.
“Memory Fruit” published on Virtual Verse
My poem “Memory Fruit” is on Virtual Verse’s site today! The concept behind Virtual Verse is to write a poem based on an image they provide.
They provided this lovely and mysterious image by Julien Menier.

You can find it on page 25, toward the bottom.
Here is the poem as shown there! Isn’t it pretty?
