Some #urbansketching this afternoon at the new Inkling Art Cafe on 19th with my buddy. I’ll never not love drawing trees, but I feel like I may have overcooked this one a bit. Was trying some stuff out, some things worked, some didn’t. But drawing on this beautiful day is still a win in my book.

Perspective of the viewer sitting in a sidewalk seating corral in front of a coffee shop on 19th Ave in Capitol Hill, Seattle. A small terrier dog is laying down on a bench in the foreground along with a sketched and a cup of coffee, in the background is the tree that is being drawn in said sketchbook. It is a sunny and pleasant afternoon.

This afternoon my wife and I were out & around in LQA and I had pens but no pad on me to do a little urban sketching. Grabbed a cheap little sketchbook at a drug store to remedy that & sketched this cool tree in front of the restaurant where we were eating. Been liking drawing trees lately.

Emailing prospects for my job, how’s your morning going? #noAI #notAI #art #drawing #penandink

A screen shot of an email with a black and white cartoon drawing of a cat wearing a dress shirt and tie and a speech bubble over he’s head saying “You should buy labels from this guy. Seriously.”

The body of the email says:

“Hi there!

I’m not A.I., and I didn’t use A.I to write this! I’m a real person, honest!
And A.I. didn’t draw this picture of a cat giving you advice. Let’s see what he has to say.

(I did, it was me. I drew the cat.)”

This seascape painting has orange cloud formations in a gray-blue sky over a dark sea meeting a rocky shore. There is much texture throughout the painting. A paint palette with puddles of oil paint and paintbrushes are visible in the background.

Original landscape oil painting by Tisha Mark, "Homeland No. 2601" oil on Ampersand Gessobord, 6"x6" (2026). A peaceful atmospheric landscape painting of a lush green gentle slope with a loosely painted tree at the right, underneath a soothing light blue sky with textured breezy white cloud formations.

Altar prayer card for the goddess Diana. A rectangular card has a black border with parts of the Orphic hymn for Diana surrounding it as a border in white text. In the bottom right are twin arrows over a crescent moon representing her and Apollo. In the bottom left and top right are white outlined 8 point stars. Inside the border is a marble shockwave black and grey pattern with white outlining that forms an arch at the top with lining to look like columns on both sides. In the middle is a stag skull with painted antlers of a diamond and star pattern. Behind the skull are smaller 8 point stars and cloud ripples. Above the skull is a scraggly branch of queen Anne’s lace with small dots above. In the top corners are two constellations for Sirius as her hunting dogs and Roman numerals for 13 and 8 for the date of the Nemoralia festival.

Dark Vibrations - Inktober 2022 black and white ink illustration. Plain rolling hills lead to the door of a building with a large central spire and a small covered porch. To the left side of the building is a three facet bay windows and the other windows have ornate stained glass. On top of the central spire is a lighting conductor in the shape of a 5 point star. In the highest window of the spire is stain glass in the shape of an eye. Converging at the start is a large vortex spiraling and expanding through the whole sky. The vortex is pulling party’s of the building up towards it and cracking parts of the wood and foundation. The vortex is casting light and highlights on the building and the tress behind it. Converging towards the building is a circle of 12 white bird silhouettes.

Black line art minimal design for an Eki Stamp of the fictional Kisaragi Station from the urban legend in Japan. It is done in a stylized minimal monoline art style with ominous details hidden.
Stamp is a circle. The border is divided into empty space and thick black sections. The bottom third is filled into black with "如月駅 Kisaragi Sta." On top. On the left is a branching tree outline with black leaves. Hanging from the tree are four (representing death Japanese bells and stylized fog is cutting over top. Next to the tree is a retro style pay phone with the phone line cut and disconnected. Beyond the phone are track tracks and a small train station surrounded by overgrown greenery with mountains and power lines behind it. The station is a shingled a line pavilion an entrance to the left that's overgrown with plants and abandoned. To, the right is a small bench with overgrown plants and a framed signed with a symbol that combines a a play on a version of the Mitsudomoe (3 commas) and a Shinto spirit mirror. At the apex or the pavilion is a decoration inspired by hanya masks. Fog rolls in over top of the station and large bushes and a gradient half ton

hey Davis here's some textEYEles

A plush heart hanging on a white wall. The center of the piece shows an eye embroidered in various shades of red thread looking sadly to the right, with one red teardrop bead beneath the waterline. Surrounding it are a variety of red beads to transition into the red felt body of the heart. There are rays of gold thread and beads emanating from the center to the edges, ending in a gold bead border. There are almost a dozen strings of red beads coming middle to make a V-shaped fringe
Completely hand embroidered. This is second version of this design

Embroidery in an oval shaped frame of a light brown eye rendered in full color. There are three 3D swords that puncture through the fabric around the eye and cross over each other. Roman numeral 3 completes the tarot card look

A palm-sized, circular embroidery piece hanging on a wall. It features a single eye looking upwards to our right with a slightly furrowed brow, looking distressed or concerned. It's rendered in various shades of muted purple. The stitches are laid in a way so they appear to be spiraling towards the center of the piece. The edges of the design are covered in four sizes of round, shiny black beads, seeming to be encroaching upon the embroidered center

To all the artists creating in these times: thank you. It’s not easy to make beauty, truth, or meaning when the world feels chaotic. Whether it helps you breathe or comforts others, your work matters. Art doesn’t need to fix the world to be meaningful, sometimes it just needs to exist.

A couple years ago around Halloween, my friend’s young son would blurt out Halloween-ish things, and this was one of them. I liked it so much I had to memorialize it visually. "I will let you starve to death until you're just a skeleton. Then, I'll get a dog. Then, I'll play fetch with your bones."
