So beautiful in its simplicity. You have a gift with ink, conveying so much colorful emotion even in black and white.

Aw thanks! I do have a couple bottles of other colors besides black but I need to pick up more. I think the black ink will always be a favorite for me to work with though. :)

It was nice to pour through your gallery again. You have such a beautiful style. There is a romance to it that speaks to me. So quiet. We see so much that is overt on this site but your art displays more of the quiet voice of love that is exchanged between the eyes of kindred souls. Thank you so much for sharing it all.

Thank you so much for saying that! ;_; That was very sweet of you!

I only give an honest opinion of what I see but it humbles me that it meant that much to you.

I'm so curious about your "book'o stuff to sell" I truly wish I could get to a con to buy one of your works. ;;

Haha, well its just a binder filled with stuff that I put out on the table. It mostly holds art cards and small pieces like the one above and some full size prints. Sometimes after cons I'll put the stuff that didn't sell up online. For example, I still have some unsold things listed here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3985422/

Now I'm trying to see how much I can get together to mayhap get Sea Song haha

Traditional art always looks better in person, curse those scanners! Still beautiful though! I like those trees a lot.

Its soooo frustrating. >_<

oh wow!
Beautiful :O!

Wow . . . Absolutely stunning.

So gorgeous, these.
Do you do anything with pencil to plan these out, or are you just a wizard of negative space?

When you're in an artist's alley, do you any work while there, or just vend? Thinking I'd like to quietly observe.
PS: Liquitex "Turquiose Deep" and "Red Oxide" are beautiful ink colors that blend together to form a nice semineutral.

I do a little bit of pencil lines with these, mostly for the figures but when there are more solid objects (like trees) I'll do a tiny bit of pencil around where I want them to be and then just see where the ink takes it.

And thanks for the ink suggestions! So far I've been using Dr. Ph. Martin's Bombay ink but have been looking to get more ink and try out some other brands.

Yeah, I'm doing ink washes and spatters to eventually be used in backgrounds. I love working with them, but I don't know how to use them to make anything intentional...
Maybe I can bring some of mine when I come to FWA :)

This is a really beautiful piece. One of my favorites.

aaaah I love this one! XD

He looks like he's waiting to throw a pinecone at someone's head. XD

impressive work , you use a brush or a bamboo pen for the inkwork ?
Allways had the upmoast respect for those that can use the traditional medias like you do.

I've been using several brushes for these. I want to say they were labeled as watercolor brushes when I bought them but they seem to work just fine for ink too. :)

okay, the branches had that look to them.

I love the way you did the inkings, so clean
