Martian Chronicles with Carbon Black
Some small sketches in a Canson 3.5 x 5.5 just to test a freshly cleaned flex nib.
14K flex nib filled with Platinum Carbon Black.
Ray Bradbury's Martian Chronicles (or any of his books) are a wealth of inspiration for drawings.

Happy Graffiti
Okay, not my best work by any means... But one of the reasons I always have a Sharpie on my person!

Sketching at The Dead show
Last night's Wall Street Dead aHead event reminded me about a draft post I've been meaning to publish. These are sketches from a Dead performance at the PNC Art Center. Thanks to Antonio Reonegro, (Grateful Dead artist extraordinaire) we were backstage during the concert; up close to the musicians as they performed.
With the close quarters and and equipment that was around us I thought it would be a good idea to stick to dry medium. (A spilled bottle of ink would have spelled disaster!) So I used a stick of General's Kimberly compressed graphite.
