Pen Drawing On Paper

Purify Your Heart

JOHNNY OSBOURNE

You're going to church on Sunday

There's no love in your heart on Monday

You're trying to show me that you know yourself

You'd better purify your heart

Then you'll know yourself.

Johnny Osbourne

MAD SEASON

pencil drawing, calbayog city, 2025

Lèt me ask you something. What are you going to do in the future when every transaction we make is done on line and someone who you can't even talk to decides you can't do something?

Wondering outloud for a friend.

I just drew this about 30 minutes ago. I know it's not a finished complete drawing but its finished enough that she's talking to me. And I'm listening to her.

I think I'm going to listen to her for a while. Tomorrow is another day.

Update:

I worked on her some more. She's still only half done but she's still talking to me so I'm going to quit while I'm ahead. And it's dinner time.

Bonfires of joy

ballpoint pen

Corvallis OR 1971

The university was about an hour drive from the Oregon coast. On weekends ends we would pile into our friend's van and drive through the mountain forest to the beach. When sunset came we would light huge bonfires of driftwood logs and eat bread and drink red wine and dance with joy.

Hippy days, long gone, but still here.

Some very old drawings. My freshman year in college. I didn't learn much calculus tbh.

Study?

pigments

A few days ago I had a thought. These pigments are so great, FTW, let's just have fun with color for a while.

Westwood 1988

I started out long before I began...

The thing about this particular pattern is that I never really figured out what I was doing. I just drew, and the pieces just fit.

... actually, I never really even began...

This one I added color. I had some old crayons lying around and, it turned out nicely.

... things just somehow fit together.

David Bowie - Heros

I don't speak German, but somehow, this song, sung in German, talks to me.

A curious snail

Los Angeles 2018

It's easy, at least for me, to imagine that snails have characters.

Maybe it's those eyes, poking out on their stocks, looking....

I wonder, do snails dream?

And if so, of what do they dream?

Do snails dream of wet concrete and fresh clover?

Do juvenile snails have wet dreams?

I've never thought of that before but why not?

Little snail nuts messing up the grass where they sleep...

So cute.
