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.

A drawing of u/harold_grundelson from RedditGetsDrawn. I like the thick rimmed glasses.

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.
