Broke the micron-killer back out of storage because I don't hate myself enough already. (at Seminole County FL)

Prepping some cold brew for the 4am drive to NC on Friday.

When I'm not busy with art I'm most likely doing some really strange job for a paycheck...like rigging a spartan helmet and installing lighting fixtures inside for Michigan State Universities new sculpture.

Quick overview...I think I might be finished...not quite sure yet. #wip #art #illustration #drawing #painting #graphite #coffee #coffeestain #guoache #stonehenge #ink #pencil #sketch #sketchbook #speedpainting #moleskine #entomology #derelict #carculture #classiccar #hotrod #timelapse #coffee #rust #herpatology #snake #rattlesnake #diamondback #orlando #igersorlando (at Ace Cafe Orlando)

Cross contour pass of pencils has begun.

Ordered a rugged travel case for my @nintendoswitch and took a little @1shotpaints to it. Back painted/reverse glass process.

There is in fact a light at the end of the tunnel. Nearly done with the outlines and then COFFEE, COFFEE, COFFEE! #wip #art #illustration #drawing #painting #graphite #stonehenge #ink #pencil #sketch #sketchbook #speedpainting #moleskine #entomology #derelict #carculture #classiccar #hotrod #timelapse #coffee #rust #herpatology #snake #rattlesnake #diamondback #orlando #igersorlando (at Foxtail Coffee)

Ive been a major fan of the Blackwing Pearl series but I'm finding that the graphite in the 602 has become paramount in laying out nice dark/soft drafting lines. wip #art #illustration #drawing #painting #graphite #stonehenge #ink #pencil #sketch #sketchbook #speedpainting #moleskine #entomology #derelict #carculture #classiccar #hotrod #timelapse #coffee #rust #herpatology #snake #rattlesnake #diamondback

Spent a good chunk of today cleaning and resurfacing my Neolt drafting table and went ahead and cluttered it up with these renderings an acetate. Final drawing on a 22.5"x13.25" cut of cream colored Stonehenge paper. Shout out to @jaredwright and @artboytidwell for being a soundboard this evening on composition. Nice to get feedback from fresh eyes and get out of my own little bubble. #wip #art #illustration #drawing #painting #watercolor #gouache #ink #pencil #sketch #sketchbook #speedpainting #moleskine #entomology #derelict #carculture #classiccar #hotrod #timelapse #coffee #rust #herpatology #snake #rattlesnake #diamondback (at City of Winter Springs)

Ive always found rusted metal to be a visually pleasing thing to look at. #wip #sketch #study #painting #oil #oilpainting #board #woodworking #woodpainting painting #moleskine #pencil #ink #gouache #painting #truck #insects #beetle #entomology #rust #coffee #covefefe #chrysomelidae #sketchbook #fungi #mushrooms #derelict (at Orlando Science Center)
