The Spout Next Door

I was leaving for work the other day and this sight caught my attention. Right next door to me, a house is being restored but it has a long way to go before being finished. I've found that when something is being built (physically or digitally) objects can be found or placed in the strangest of places—as this spout coming over the edge of the balcony. The sound is what first caught my attention but it was the composition and the constant flowing of water that inspired me to pull out my camera and take this video. Enjoy.

The Suzukis

Here is another illustration using Procreate on the iPad. I did a few studies on pencil and paper based on a photo I took of my friends before creating the final piece above. I used a $5 stylus as an experiment and realized how important it is to use one. After a few more pieces I plan to experiment with a smart stylus. I'm looking forward to the next project!

Bilbo and Smaug

About a month ago on Facebook, I posted a drawing of a dragon that I did on my iPad. I used the program Procreate and was really pleased with the results. I had just seen, 'The Hobbit' and the dragon was clearly inspired by the movie. I decided to follow up the piece with another illustration based on an actual scene from the book. I hope you enjoy it!
