Screenshot of a digital drawing app on a tablet, showing a work-in-progress portrait. A gaunt humanoid head with a skull-lile mask, long pointed ears, deep shadowed eye sockets, and hollow cheeks is rendered in detailed black ink with heavy cross-hatching. The head and neck are finished; below, the shoulders and torso remain a loose light-blue under-sketch on a white canvas. The app's layer stack is visible on the right and the brush/tool panel on the left.
Black ink drawing of a hunched troll, built from loose blobs and splatters with a grey wash behind it, on white paper over a green cutting mat. Hand-lettered below is the Troll's chant from Pratchett's 'Thud,' reading 'Him who mountain crush him no / Him who sun him stop him no / Him who hammer him break him no / Him who fire him fear him no / Him who raise him head above him heart / Him diamond.
Ink sketch of a bald, bearded elderly man with round monocle inside a spherical astronaut helmet. His eyes are closed, downcast. Above the helmet, scratchy ink marks suggest stars, satellites, and scattered space debris against a pale background. Drawn in black ink with touches of white marker.
A cartoon-style illustration shows a startled blue hippopotamus with bulging eyes riding in a broken baby carriage. The carriage’s wheels are askew, and the hippo is careening down a short staircase, suggesting imminent chaos or collision. The scene is exaggerated and humorous, with the hippo’s wide open mouth and jagged teeth adding to the frantic tone.
Black ink drawing of a hunched fantasy figure. They wear a tattered robe and a hood topped with a skull and two ragged feathers. The face is exaggerated with bulging eyes, a beak-like nose, and a wide grin of uneven teeth. One hand points outward; the other grips a tall staff. Dense cross-hatching and blotchy brushwork create heavy shadows; the robe pools on the ground. White paper on a brown desk with binder clips visible at the right edge.
Screenshot of three verses of the Norwegian visionary chant "Draumkvedet" describing how no one who makes an ill judgement can cross the Gjallarbru, the bridge to the afterlife.
Sketchbook page of quick portrait studies from a TTRPG stream. Pencil/pen heads with loose yellow, blue, and orange watercolor washes; color swatches at left; textured paper. Mix of bearded faces, corals, and a tiny shrimp doodle.
Loose pencil sketch of a craggy goblin-like head in a wide hat: big nose, heavy brow, pointed ear, side-eye glance. Cross-hatching and stray construction lines are visible.
Two photos of sketchbook pages filled with loose, experimental pencil drawings. The first page shows a collection of abstract, surreal forms and faces—some birdlike, some skeletal or insectoid—intertwining and morphing across the page.
Cartoon image of Homer Simpson sitting at a control panel in a nuclear power plant control room, smiling and looking at a tablet. The room is filled with various buttons and monitors. Through a window behind him, a reactor is visibly on fire, and a worker in a hazmat suit is seen panicking amidst flames and radiation hazard symbols. The scene humorously contrasts Homer’s obliviousness with the chaos unfolding behind him.
