Japanese Maple: pen, marker on paper.  Always a beautiful tree, but dangerous, just look at those serrated edges.

Swans: pen on paper.  I was once out fishing with my Dad in Mitchell's Bay on Lake St. Clair, and we heard what sounded like a very loud motor starting up back near the shore.  In looking around it turned out to be a large flock of swans taking off from the water.  There are many more swans in Southwestern Ontario than there are here around Toronto; in the Fall they migrate in large V's just like the Canada geese do, and at dusk they look like they are glowing.

Early Battle Scenes 4: pencil on paper. 

Early Battle Scenes 2: pencil on paper.  Oh oh. Looks like trouble for the little guys at the bottom.

Early Battle Scenes 1: pencil on paper.  Part of a large scale battle scene amongst my long list of not-yet-realized ideas. 

Early Party Howls 1: pen, pencil on paper.  Precursor of current Howls, hanging out in my sketchbooks.  I love how their hats match their coats.

Guest Post Kes Longman:  pen on paper.  Wow.  You know, when I approached Kes about doing a guest post, he was a little apprehensive( I could tell because he started to eat a crayon he was holding).  I explained that he could of course draw whatever he liked, no pressure to make it representational, or meaningful or even comprehensible.  Just have fun, and be sure to submit me the jpeg of the finished image at 300dpi by 10pm EST Friday night.  Well done, young man, well done.

Owl Scribblies: pen, marker on paper.  Scribble, scribble.

Marker Experiment #2: marker, glitter on paper.

Owls Plus Extra Heads: pen, marker on paper.  Those tails make them look like shrimp.  Ooo!  Or Sea Monkeys!!!
