Doodles

Cars, constellations, Little Rock memories, and tiny experiments from a sketchbook that goes almost everywhere.

Black ink drawing of a Hyundai Tucson

My first car

My first car is a Hyundai Tucson, so it became an obvious subject. Dots, lines, hatching, and a little color turned a familiar object into an excuse to slow down and experiment. Sakura Pigma pens are my favorite; they stay close because drawing can happen anywhere.

Pen sketch of beach volleyball with friends

Sunday volleyball

Sundays in Little Rock often meant beach volleyball with friends on the sand. The games felt ordinary while they were happening and became precious after moving away.

Pen sketch of two people hiking into hills

Little Rock trails

Little Rock is a beautiful place to hike. A few figures, hills, and a horizon are enough to hold the feeling of trails that are still missed.

Playful penguin doodles

Penguins, just because

Some drawings need no larger explanation. The penguins appeared because they were cute and because filling a page with small characters felt good.

Sketchbook drawing inspired by Orion's belt

Orion became a skateboard

Orion is a favorite constellation. While drawing the belt, the shape accidentally began to look like a skateboard, so the mistake became the idea.

Early sketchbook page with small doodles

Learning to doodle again

Drawing was part of childhood, but doodling had to be learned again as an adult. These uneven little objects come from that early return, when the only goal was to keep the pen moving.
