Some Zentangle inspired doodles. Zentangle is a copyrighted term I think, you can buy their kits and special markers I guess and learn different patterns. I don't know too much about it, I just grab a Sharpie and these things come out. It's a fun way to unwind with some music.

I love these! Also it's good for kids to see their parents doing creative stuff(of any kind), just doing stuff that looks good for no other reason than you enjoy doing it. Or maybe you only do it when they're tucked up in bed?

You know, I was about to post the only art (like drawing/painting style) I have of mine, which was from when I was 11 (back in '94). I laughed when I read your comment, as oddly enough, mine happens to have a picture of a kitten, Sun, and daisy in it, lol.

My 11 year old "art". The world famous comic book series, "Kitty Kop":

This reminded me of the stuff my son did at that age ...... aaaah! Thing is, he's 31 now and he's still doing comic strips!

i drawer and paint and make stuff,but nothing conventional anymore .
I make jewelry and wreaths and such .
I painted a pumpkin for Halloween tho .

Art doesn't have to be done just for the sake of producing a 'Piece of Art'. I think it's great just to do things for the home .... seasonal things(wreaths like you mentioned etc), or quirky things for the garden.
(Thanks for the compliment )

I agree, and I also find sometimes it's them inspiring me to be more creative.

Introducing Chloe.

Chloe's mum n' dad weren't quite shure what to make of her when she was born, her mother thinks it was because of her cravings for nuts when she was pregnant, and her father cant see anything wrong with her.. either way, the love her dearly..
Chloe is a tom-boy who loves climbing trees..
She hates cats and hates people who whistel because she can't no matter how hard she's tried..
She is alergic to peanuts, cashews, or anything nutty? (gives her spots)
Ironically though, her bedroom closet if full of nuts and even jars of peanut butter? "it's my collection!"
Chloe's best friends are Michael who also hates cats. (it's all they ever talk about.)
Her Boyfriend is a cowboy..
She chews her nails, and according to her boyfriend she's a bad kisser..

I guess I don't know whoever the person it is of, but it looks kind of like Jon Heder's long lost sister to me.

It's 11X14, acrylic (and a touch of colored pencil) on illustration board.

Thanks for the additional details.

I love the shading and the way that the subject pops out against the perfectly subtle background.

Extremely well done.  It's bloody brilliant.
