Is he dancing? Is he about to dance? Or is he simply walking extravagantly? Only he knows. One thing’s for sure though, that is is a very fine suit indeed . . . Ink + alcohol marker

Tango lines
Due to a pronounced lack of decent tango reference photography , I used a screenshot of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AK1ccWeU3gA I originally meant to use them as reference only, but now that I think of it, I might as well count this as fan art, plain and simple. Carlitos is barely visible, but I think we’re all quite happily focused on Noelia anyway. Although I plan on redoing it at some point, I think it turned out quite well, all in all; despite all the imperfections, it captures that deliciously fluid, twisty quality that makes tango magical. I doubt that this will be my last tango-themed sketch. . .
The Dolphin
A sketch from awhile back of a stylized heraldic dolphin. You can probably see that it has more in common with the Dolphinfish, or Mahi-Mahi, than with the normal variety. Naturally, I love the serpentine shape.
Coffee shop faces
I spent a good couple hours sketching in a coffee shop on Hawthorne. It was one of those days when the lines just flow out of your pencil with seemingly no effort at all. Definitely could use more days like that!
Doodle on doodles.
This is fairly typical of my sketchbook: layers and layers of chaotic, unrelated doodles, which then get subsumed by one very large, very splendid doodle. This one came out of nowhere. Ink + alcohol marker.
Not a happy monk . . .
What could have have made this Orthodox monk so angry? Heresy perhaps . . . Ink + alcohol marker
Neck Beard
This jolly fellow is very proud indeed of his neckbeard. I used gouache for the all the color except for the yellow highlights, where I used an alcohol-based marker.
