When I was a kid I would rush to complete my schoolwork so I could spend time drawing. I'd get lost for 10 hrs straight sometimes. It helped me cope with a lot of stuff as it's very similar to meditation. I started out by drawing pokemon and then mostly dragons & animals. This is all I have left unfortunately. I somehow lost a 3" stack of thousands upon thousands of hours worth of art in a move when I was a teenager and ever since haven't done much drawing and I don't finish much of what I start. I hope to one day get back into it. My life has been pretty focused in the physical though living offgrid. A few of these I don't think I've ever even shown anyone.
Drew this for my breed specific project in college
A portrait of Mr. Kitty the neighborhood cat. As you may have seen in my last post
This one was for a dear friend
This is originally a painting. I was so inspired to recreate it that I used whatever I could find, which at the time was a sharpie & some broken pencil crayons
Can you tell I love Okami?
Snowmine album cover - Really great music if you haven't heard them check them out!
This was from my darker days as a young teen when I was on all kinds of anti-depressants. I will write about this in the future

Dragons were my favourite thing to draw when I was a kid. I did at least 100 dragons. This one I wrote a short story about, wish I still had it.
This was going to be a tattoo for a friend that was a tribute to dimebag darrel with a dean guitar busting out of skull with mushroom tuning pieces. Like the remaining drawings, it never got finished.
Space lion
This was going to be a fairy and a tiger
Unfinished dragon
This and the last one are the most recent - 3-4 years ago. Haven't drawn much of anything since and still not finishing them blah
Maybe one day I will complete these
For those who've never heard of Okami one of the reasons I love her so much is because she is a dirty wolf in the eyes of those who don't believe in her but in the eyes of those that do she is a goddess. The more people who believe in her the stronger her powers get to save the world.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. - Marianne Williamson
