Discombobulate

Discombobulate: to confuse or disconcert,
5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper – $70
I couldn’t resist the idea of Bond totally confusing his Quartermaster with intact, fully functioning equipment. Gun not fed to a komodo dragon. Earpiece not dropped into a glass of champagne. Unexploded pen!
So confusing.

Tea: Lestrade

Tea: Lestrade, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
One of my favourite patrons commissioned me to draw a series of 4 little comic portraits of her favourite characters with their favourite teas. Favourites all around!
This third piece in the Tea Series features DI Lestrade from the BBC Sherlock series. The put-upon detective inspector needs a strong, bracing cup of Assam to help him keep up with Sherlock’s antics.

Tenebrific

Tenebrific: causing gloom or darkness,
5″x7″ pen & ink and watercolor on paper
One of my lovely Patreon patrons asked for this word as her art prompt this month, and so I used it for last Wednesday’s word art.
In anime, when misfortune has come to a character they draw blue lines from their hairline down their face to show it, and this lovely lovely violet-black Japanese watercolor echoes that by drawing down the gloom in long lines. The figure below is in the blue-black from the same palette, ghostly and gloomy, carrying its own darkness within.
If you want art made just for you, you can support me on Patreon — request your own sketches for as little as $5 a month!

Tea: Q

Tea: Q, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
One of my favourite patrons commissioned me to draw a series of 4 little comic portraits of her favourite characters with their favourite teas. Favourites all around!
This second piece in the Tea Series features Q from the most recent James Bond films, drinking Earl Grey out of his Scrabble mug. He’s not in his pyjamas, so obviously this isn’t his first cup. Let’s hope he hasn’t caused too much destruction in his day yet, or had cause to strangle 007.

Torporific

Torporific: tending to cause numbness or inactivity
5″x7″ pen & ink on paper – $45
It’s definitely a house rule among cat owners that you can’t be expected to do any sort of responsible adulting if you’ve got a cat in your lap. They have their very own special gravity that causes inactivity among their chosen humans/bedwarmers.
I drew this live on Persicope; come join me some Wednesday around 2-3pm Pacific. Next week I’ll be doing a Patreon patron’s requested word!

Unguiculate

Unguiculate: a mammal with claws
7″x5″ pen & ink and pencil on paper – $25
The actual taxonomy is anything that has claws or nails as opposed to hooves, but I couldn’t resist the shorter definition or the visual that went with it. Look out! Rawr!
I drew this live on Persicope; come join me some Wednesday around 2-3pm Pacific. Who knows what weird word I’ll choose next.

Tea: 11th Doctor
Thursday, March 24th, 2016
Tea: 11th Doctor, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
One of my favourite patrons commissioned me to draw a series of 4 little comic portraits of her favourite characters with their favourite teas. Favourites all around!
This first piece in the Tea Series is the Eleventh Doctor, drinking delicately out of his decorated cup and saucer. I’d like to say the Time Lord knows better than to put milk or sugar in his oolong, but this is a man deeply fond of fish fingers and custard in combination, so who knows.
We’ll get to the other three next month, after the Floating Gallery has drifted away.
