more recent sketches


Most of these were created the same weekend as the ones in the previous post. A lot of these sketches are spontaneous images - suggested by colours or forms that I've pasted on the blank pages. I rarely start with an image in mind, but let whatever wants to unfold happen. All images created using collage, Crayola wax crayons, coloured pencil, pencil and china markers.





The above image started as an exercise with Crayola washable markers.

illustrations for my green cleaning blog


These collages are part of a series of illustrations I've created for my eco-friendly cleaning blog, the greener cleaner. Like most of my recent drawings, collages and illustrations, these illustrations are created with Crayola wax crayons and china markers in various colours.

leaf #2

This leaf was drawn at the same time as the one in yesterday's post. Slightly more realistic, again in Crayola washable marker with coloured pencil.

happy canada day

I drew this leaf several years ago. I started by outlining the leaf shape with washable Crayola markers, and spraying the page with water so that the ink bled. After the image had dried I then went in with coloured pencil and added details. The paper is a used photocopy from a child's school handout.
