The Brandybard Balloon

I have been fiddling with the creation of a sort of icon for this blog, if there would ever be on. I was doodling one day and came up with this ink-black balloon.

Then I went onto a website called picmonkey and played around with it further.

This was the "final result," just not quite sure what to do with it, really. It's merely an idea for the time being.

The Adventures of Tintin

When I was bored one day, actually when I had a bought of writer's block on a paper I was writing, I got out some of my drawing things and began doodling. The outcome of that bought of boredom was this collection of small portraits of one of my favorite comics, Tintin.

Here is the good Professor Calculus.


The world-weary Captain Archibald Haddock

Here are the heros of the piece: Tintin & Snowy (Milou).

These were drawn with a dip pen and waterproof ink (they might even be watercolor'd one of these days).
Cheers,
A. Taylor

The Dapper Octopus Finale

Right-o, since I haven't corresponded to you folks in some time, I thought that I ought to post this particular work. In the previous post I only had the ink'd bit of it finished, but now, as you can see, it is now in color. This was finished using watercolor paint and some regular ink for the umbrella and the bowler hat.
There's a preview of some doodles to come.
