Doodle No. 21 Alien on Picot Fence
Doodle No. 21
Alien on Picot Fence
Get off my lawn!
Some color schemes come easily to me. This was not one of them. I colored until I could color no more. Then I added 23.5 karat gold paint.
The image is 3” by 3”.
Drawn with archival Prismacolor black ink, Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils, and 23.5 K gold paint on Stonehenge 250 GSM 100% cotton paper.

Doodle No. 20 Tribert’s Network
Tribert got a new antenna for his network in hopes of picking up owls. So far, so good.
Some color schemes come easily to me. This was not one of them. All of that red didn’t help.

Faber-Castell Polychromos colored pencils and Prismacolor black ink on Stonehenge paper
This piece is sold, but you can buy swag if you want! I made stickers you can find in my Etsy shop here https://www.etsy.com/listing/713103849/doodle-sticker-collection
Also, I designed this piece specifically to be printed on shirts, stickers, mugs, etc., which you can find here. Www.gwenbeads.threadless.com I just ordered a shirt for myself in blue. It’s quite nice for twenty bucks. Sadly, the ladies fitted large is too big for me. So I have it to my sweetie.
I’m not sure what this contraption does, but it obviously has a lot of functionality.

Forgive the bit of reflection on the cat’s face. I have it temporarily sealed in plastic to keep it safe.

Doodle No. 15
Pitchfork Bifurcation

5” by 7” image on 7” by 9” paper
I have a complicated relationship with yellow. I’m pretty sure it has something to do with the yellow and orange bedroom I had as a child. Everything was covered in a print of orange and yellow California poppies, and all of the furniture was painted yellow. Tying it altogether was a huge carpet in a perfect shade of yellow mustard. After the yellow experience, I had more than my fair share for years, and I didn’t like orange much either. I eventually brought orange back into my pallet a number of years ago after a friend successfully convinced me that bright orange is the color of happiness. Yet, that yellow carpet haunted me. With this piece I decided to put my biases aside and go full yellow mango on the background.
Overall, this color palette is very 2019. Search for “color pallet 2019.” And you’ll find these colors. So if you don’t like them yet, you should reconsider.
The pitchfork bifurcation was the kind of thing I studied in my graduate abstract algebra course. The class had something to do with resolving “bad” points in the solution set for an equation by introducing another variable and changing your point of view. I didn’t really understand the symbolic representations and manipulations very well, but I could reproduce the kinds of pictures in the textbook in great detail. My professor seemed to think that showed enough understanding of the material for me to pass the class. It seems the biggest change between then and now is the cat.
And yellow.
And a lizard for Marty.

Thanks for looking.
