Happy New Year to all and wishing everyone a stellar 2025! 🎉 Start the year with some more obsessive assortments featuring a wide array of city signs taken throughout the many bike rides. Storefront typefaces whether good or bad can be an integral part for any brick and mortar establishment. The concrete jungle has seen a dramatic change in the past few years as many establishments require to rethink their brand as we further move into the digital age. Clever signs do still have an appeal as to draw in new buyers and customers. Posting a couple as the collection exceeded expectations and first time placing a soundtrack. 🏣🏬🏢🏪🏩🏫🚲🎼

For the third sketchbook installment a dragon came out of nowhere to show its presence in this non sensical backdrop.
Found in cultures all across the world, dragons sparks the imagination as so many myths and legends have grown around them. The advantage of a mechanical pencil is the fine details it delivers although I do as much sharpening as the drawing itself. The insanity continues…

For my 200th post I figure to be brave and post from the sketchbook. Art is and always will be the one aspect of life that continuously moves us forward and have always feel blessed on what it delivers. Not sure how this evolved as their was never a set plan except for the biological subject. Mostly these drawing have served as a type of meditative exercise while objectively practicing my line work. This particular sketch book has taken quite the beating as it is always in hand and had to be retired. Fortunately the bulk has been filled and a new book is in the works. Will post more of the insanity.

In light of the lack of posts, some shared images that captured the eye during the summer bike travels. There is always something interesting to discover within the city even when visited on multiple occasions. It is all perception as we all have our own universes to experience.
There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception.
