This still life ink pen illustration is a treasure trove of artistry and imagination, weaving together elements such as a candle lantern, a miniature broom, a petite bird, a sprinkling of flowers, a quaint rocking horse, and a bottle bathed in the hues of emerald.

The composition unfurls a tableau deeply reminiscent of L. Frank Baum's beloved "The Wizard of Oz," with each element thoughtfully chosen to represent the enchanting characters of the story.

Dorothy, the epitome of innocence and wonder, is represented by the array of delicate flowers that seem to dance across the page. The sturdy metal candle lantern channels the resilient yet tender-hearted Tin Man, while the miniature broom, with its bristles evoking the texture of straw, conjures the image of the wisdom-seeking Scarecrow. The rocking horse, with its mane flowing and its poised stance, embodies the bravery masked by the timidity of the Cowardly Lion. Amidst this scene of companionship, the small bird perched gently within the embrace of the candle lantern depicts Toto - loyal and adventurous, an unwavering presence throughout their journey.

Drawing the eye further into the illustration, an emerald bottle captures the splendor and mystique of the Emerald City, its verdant tones resonating as a symbol of their collective dreams and the end of their golden road.

As the arrangement of elements takes shape, the viewer is effortlessly transported to the enchanted outskirts of the Emerald City, where friendship, courage, and dreams intertwine. Through the lens of this deftly crafted still life illustration, a tale of timeless charm and whimsy is reimagined, inviting one to step through the pages and join Dorothy and her friends on their quest for heart, home, courage, and wisdom.

Embark on a nostalgic journey with my vintage cube TV sketch, a tribute to the golden days of television. Crafted meticulously using a 2-point perspective, each line and shadow is brought to life with a diverse range of greyscale markers, ensuring depth and authenticity. But what's history without a touch of the present? To meld the eras seamlessly, I introduced a burst of digital color using Photoshop. This interplay between the monochromatic tones and contemporary hues not only adds vibrancy but also bridges the gap between the past and the present.

In an intricate study focused on capturing the nuances of automotive paint reflections, I rendered a detailed depiction of the 1961 250 California Spyder Ferrari using Prisma color markers. The task was to dive deeply into the complex play of light on an automotive polished surface. The classic red of the Ferrari, with its undeniable allure, presented a unique challenge. The goal was to capture the interplay of reflections and refractions, utilizing the rich pigments and blending capabilities of the Prisma markers. By emphasizing the gleam and shine typical of freshly painted cars, especially a vehicle as evocative as the Ferrari, this piece sought to encapsulate the visual appeal and intricacies of such a celebrated masterpiece in the automotive world.

On the savannah, two giraffes stood by,
One reached the skies, the other could but try.
Eagerly the smaller looked, yearning to be near,
The branch up high, that the taller held dear.

A game it seemed, as the tall one would tease,
Until guilt set in, bringing it to its knees.
Lowering the branch, it let the small one partake,
Together they feasted, in friendship's warm wake.
