Here is the artwork for October 2022.
UX wireframe design for calculator app that I built for course. We have to use Xamarin forms, which was horrible. For the rest of the projects this term I get to use Swift. The the calc design I used blue in the background and red for the text/outlines.
Another UX wireframe Calc design. This was the final design and layout I used.

Welcome to September 2022. This month is special because it’s my Fathers and Grandmothers birthday. My Grandmother is the same age as the late Queen. Congrats!
I was in Sydney and Melbourne this morning. Didn’t do any artwork, but did attend APIDays Conference.
When I returned to NZ I did a bunch of artwork - mostly from redditgetsdrawn. Enjoy ~
A crazy busy landscape line drawing with both black and red colors. There is a figure on the left with a very long neck.
A landscape with alot of water. Some marketing ad notes on the top left.
Landscape, Figures and portraits. More marketing ad notes.
A landscape with lots of water. No notes on this one!
A drawing of u/aesthel from redditgetsdrawn. I liked her goggles on the forehead and interesting makeup (spots near the eyes)
A drawing of u/aprikahan from redditgetsdrawn. Simple portrait of her looking to the side, nice necklace and suit.
A drawing of u/artboxcreationsinc from redditgetsdrawn. This one reminded me of Pepper and Carrot being witch themed. I liked the patterns on her clothing, interesting shaped glasses, witches hat (which most is missing from my portrait) and straw broomstick.
A drawing of u/lullabyformycat from redditgetsdrawn. Cool tattoos on the arms.
A drawing of u/nosebearnosebear from redditgetsdrawn. Again, tattoos are fun to draw. This time they were on the arm and shoulder.
A drawing of u/ruairi from redditgetsdrawn. Finally a male! This one is interesting because his head is in the stocks and he is pulling peace symbol.
A drawing of u/thespacecase93 from redditgetsdrawn. I like the suit and baldness. Reminds me of of Agent from Hitman. Or maybe Lex Fridman if he lost his hair..
A drawing of Unknown from redditgetsdrawn. Normally I’m good at writing down the usernames, but missed it on this one! oh well, might go back through history and find / update later. I like the hate and the arm going over the head.

Here are recent pencil and ink works. I recently brought a small notebook, ink pen, and clutch pencil from the Japanese store here - much cheaper than gordan harris. Though I would like to get a larger notebook in the future - the one I am currently using is A6 and A5 would be better.

This is a view on K Road, Auckland. Looking towards the Rockshop building. Tress, landpost, buildings, and traffic lights.
This is a view in Lyall Bay, Wellington, New Zealand. It is looking out towards a island. I caught up with my friend Brooke who I attended The Learning Connexion with… almost a decade ago now.
Full character with horns over two pages. Landscape in the background.
View from minibar in Wellington, New Zealand. I got a jug of cider.

Notes taken at the Auckland Python meetup. There was a bunch of speakers - from chicargo crime to a django site for marine repair hiring, and RESTful best practices.
I am going to submit a talk for next month. I will either talk about MindBodyOnline API and what I am doing with it for Hot Yoga Works (a talk I have never done before) OR Space GIF (which I have talked about at NASA Space APPS and Sydney Python)
This was drawn in Napier, New Zealand. I traveled to Napier to visit my Grandfather but he was unwell so I didn’t end up seeing him. The view, weather, and my time in Napier was good though.
I have drawn this scene previously when I have traveled to Napier in the past to visit Grandad.

Merry Xmas. Another year is almost over. But here’s another post of artwork. I started a new job last week, which keeps me busy during the day. But in the evening I got home and felt like drawing. Which is great, as when I wasn’t working it was hard to motivate myself to draw most days.
Alot of this artwork was created well watching the new season of Rick and Morty (which I have drawn characters from in the past) and the new Netflix show - The Witcher. I have The Witcher 3 on Nintendo Switch and own The Witcher 2 on PC Steam, but never really played the 2nd one.
Rick and Morty inspired characters with water below.
No leg character on the left with a circle spiral around it.
A character on a raft.
Comedy Unleashed is a Youtube channel standup comedy channel I watch sometimes.
On the right is a Rick/Morty portrait. And the words Mike Mendel - producer of Rick and Morty.
A landscape. No characters but clouds in the sky, Squiggles for water, and a mixture of circles and rectangles for the horizon line.
A full figure standing on the left. Squiggles on the right for water. Half circles on the horizon. A building with G shape.
A line drawing trace from a strip from David Revoy E29 of Pepper and Carrot. Original artwork, used under ccby licence. No pepper or Carrot in this - instead a dragon from another dimension.
