Ever feel like you’re in a rut? What do you do in those times? Today I was feeling that way and I decided to doodle.

Ever see a logo somewhere and fall in love with an aspect of it? I found one on a hike yesterday that used an element really cool but sagged on the rest. Today’s post is appropriating that cool element.

Ever think about metaphors and then want to draw a cartoon of it. I actually do that a lot. Today I was thinking about the metaphor the Chinese give their painting tools: the four gentlemen.

Watch the new Prince of Persia movie and fall in love with Middle Eastern art? I doubt it. There wasn’t really any in it. If you do go and look at it though, you’ll see how complex, detailed, and divine it is.

Wanting to give my bathroom a little flair without spending anything, I decided to paint a small little scene that would match the beautiful colors of my bathroom: black, white, and yellow.

Ever go somewhere that you haven’t been to for a really long time? Doesn’t it bring back memories, both good and bad, that make you celebrate that place? Well Du Fu did in a poem called Traveling Again and I’m going to have to agree with him.

With the rise in popularity with poker or the long history and mythology of playing cards, motifs using spades, aces, jacks, and kings have rose in distribution. We designers will always be influenced by these shifts in culture, whether intentionally or not, and I was the other day. I was just thinking about what I should make and I came up with a king motif.

Trying to come up with a new drop cap, I noticed the beauty of a now popular pattern that was once only worn by Paul Bunyan.

When I was a kid, I was told that I was going to be the next Picasso or De Vinci. People like complimenting art to the extreme which is a dangerous thing because it can put some expectations in a kid’s head that shouldn’t be there.

After not posting anything on my blog for two weeks due to moving and starting a new job, you’d think that I would make something really cool. Well, sorry to disappoint. I posted a weird sketch that I drew when sick.
