This week I posted some of the monotypes I did of Ricky on Saturday along with the usual cartoons and a pastel drawing when I’ll post on social media on Sunday. I think my favorite, though, is the “bonus” cartoon I drew this afternoon from a prompt in Ladysmith...

My favorite of this week’s Bono Mouse sketches: Technically cheating as there’s 2 from this week, the one on the left being the last of the “blank spreads” drawings from last Monday night done with markers, and the right being done a couple days later with a Pilot pen....

I got around to playing with my gelli plate to try to make some monotypes at home similar to what I can do in the studio with a press. I still have a fair amount of experimenting to do to get the Goldilocks linework – just the right thinness,...

As mentioned in the last Saturday blog, I’m posting these as separate weekly blog posts now. This week I messed around with portraying Ricky in pastels as well as the more usual ink drawings (no monotypes this week). So, I think for the week’s favorite rendering of Ricky B....

My favorite of this week’s Bono Mouse sketches: Done with a purple Pilot pen. I’m down to only 2 blank spreads in the book, so it’s almost time to start going through the spreads that only have a drawing on the one page to fill in all the blank...

Popped into the beginners’ printmaking drop in at Ladysmith Arts today and made a few Ricky B. Rat monotypes. All of these have at least 2 layers if not 3; backgrounds first, then Ricky on top. I used ghost prints as well as the usual first pull. The paper...

Well, now that the show’s opening tonight is over, I figure I’m good to post a pic of my new painting that’s in the Cowichan Valley Arts Council’s Fine Arts Show 2023. “Teen Dream #1″ 2023 24×30” Mixed media on canvas (acrylic paint, gel texture medium, acrylic ink on...

Well, I spent all day out in the garden yesterday and got a sunburn… I really should know better by now… really, I should… Guess I’m cancelling this week’s IPL face-zapping. And while I’m whining, I think I have a cracked filling. Guess I know what phone calls I...
