New merch (T-shirts, hoodies, mugs, etc.) with my latest drawing on it www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/8710...

Some touch-up and line weight adjustments left to do, after I go shovel snow for a couple of hours, but... done-ish #workinprogress #bramstokersdracula #vampires #penandink #drawing

Mostly just background left... #workinprogress #bramstokersdracula #vampires #penandink #drawing

Have some chores to do before dark, so pausing work. Some ink needs to dry, anyway #workinprogress #bramstokersdracula #penandink #drawing #mlpeters

More work... I'm thinking I should finish tomorrow or the next day, at the latest (if I don't have TOO MUCH snow shoveling - lately that seems like my main job) #workinprogress #bramstokersdracula #drawing #penandink

Have to pause to cook supper(which is also breakfast) and workout... #workinprogress #bramstokersdracula #vampirebrides #vampire #penandink

Had to mostly focus on some winter chores, but made a little progress today. #workinprogress #bramstokersdracula #vampires #penandink #mlpeters

More work... #workinprogress #vampires #vampirebrides #bramstokersdracula #penandink

More work #workinprogress #bramstokersdracula #vampirebrides #penandink #drawing

Good progress, but time to break, let ink dry and have breakfast/supper (I meant to eat earlier, but time got away from me) #workinprogress #bramstokersdracula #vampirebrides #penandink

More work - here's a close-up detail while I take a break to let ink dry, go workout, then cook a late supper... #workinprogress #bramstokersdracula #vampirebrides #penandink

It's hard to feel art that's not making bold political statements matters at a time like this, but I have bills to pay and made some progress on this drawing... #workinprogress #bramstokersdracula #vampirebrides #penandink

No one with a conscience can credibly support ICE or this regime... youtu.be/inerht7LCqg?...

This is important to watch... especially toward the end with the Door Dash incident youtu.be/dnVo6FkG94U?...

Margaret Hamilton as the "Wicked Witch of the West" in the classic 1939 Victor Fleming, MGM film, "The Wizard of Oz". Pen (Zebra G nib and Hunt 102 and 107), and ink (Speedball Super Black) on 8.5 x 11 bristol board. $300 or best offer.

This regime might try to re-write history, but we remember www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvL4...

Breaking to workout and cook supper... I hope to finish tonight. #workinprogress #process #wickedwitch #wizardofoz #penandink

Getting a start on the background linework, but since I did the darker, thicker, wetter lines toward the bottom, first, I now have to wait for ink to dry. That's okay - it snowed last night, and I have shoveling that needs done #workinprogress #wickedwitch #wizardofoz #penandink

Mostly background linework and some line weight adjustments left to do... #workinprogress #wickedwitch #wizardofoz #penandink #mlpeters

It's hard to focus on work, with the chaos in the news, but... making some progress #workinprogress #wickedwitch #wizardofoz #penandink

More work, in between bouts of snow shoveling and writing...#workinprogress #wickedwitch #wizardofoz #penandink

So much of these dark shapes is a repetitive drudgery in linework, and unfortunately, my assistant (AKA my cat, Boris) only excels at abstract drybrush (with his tail), so is of little help. Pretty sure the final signature will have a '26 date #workinprogress #wickedwitch #wizardofoz #penandink

Getting a slow start, but A start with the pen & ink. Subject matter is always key, it's important to get likeness right, but from an artistic point of view, the cast shadow is the star of this picture #workinprogress #wickedwitch #thewizardofoz #margarethamilton #penandink

Penciled, now to start ink work - The question mark in my signature is because I don't know if this will be one of the last pieces I finish in '25, or ine of the first of '26 #workinprogress #bramstokersdracula #vampirebrides #drawing

I'm penciling a few things - this got done, first. I haven't seen Wicked, yet, but will. For now, I found a production photo from the classic and thought a pen interpretation would look cool - I'll start the pen work soon. #workinprogress #margarethamilton #wickedwitch #wizardofoz

Tight detail on one of 3 faces in a new piece I'm working on #bramstokersdracula #vampirebrides #drawing

Jacob Elordi as Frankenstein's creation in the 2025 Netflix film "Frankenstein" directed by Guillermo del Toro Pen (Zebra G nib), brush (Pentel Aquash), and ink (Speedball Super Black) on 8.5 x 11 bristol board. SOLD, but I'm always available for commissions.

I need to let ink dry, erase pencils, and do touch-up, but... pretty much done... I think... #frankenstein #guillermodeltoro #jacobelordi #netflix #penandink

Just the background linework left to do, but I'm going to try to get to town today - if the weather cooperates #workinprogress #frankenstein #guillermodeltoro #jacobelordi #penandink

Further along, but now I need to stop and go shovel a whole lot of snow... #workinprogress #frankenstein #netflix #penandink

Made good progress, now to break and cook supper. #workinprogress #frankenstein2025 #penandink

Back in from snow shoveling and, since the road hasn't been plowed and sanded (so I'm not going to town, today), back to work, on this... #frankenstein #guillermodeltoro #jacobelordi #netflix #penandink

Okay - really have to shovel snow, so... taking a break from this for a while. #frankenstein #netflix #guillermodeltoro #jacobelordi #penandink

More work while I procrastinate more snow shoveling. Not sure if I'll get to town today - depends on if the road gets plowed and sanded #frankenstein #guillermodeltoro #jacobelordi #netflix #penandink

More work in between bouts of snow shoveling... #Frankenstein #guillermodeltoro #jacobelordi #netflix #penandink

Getting a slow start, but I hope a good start on the pen and ink work #frankenstein #frankenstein2025 #guillermodeltoro #jacobelordi #penandink

Done... waiting to hear back from a repeat patron with first dibs

Okay... I think it's really done, now... I'm going to turn on the computer, eat supper, then scan, but thought I'd take one more photo, first #boriskarloff #frankenstein #brideoffrankenstein #penandink

Finished? Not sure... After ink dries, I'll erase the pencils and evaluate any finishing touches or line weight adjustments. #workinprogress #boriskarloff #brideoffrankenstein #frankenstein #penandink #mlpeters

Had planned on finishing this tonight, but after a week of poor sleep, I need to go to bed early (well, "early" for this night-owl artist) I'll get up earlier than usual and finish this Sunday. #workinprogress #boriskarloff #brideoffrankenstein #frankenstein #penandink #universalmonsters #mlpeters
