I make lively, hand-drawn art inspired by everyday details, from neighborhood storefronts and city buildings to curious cows, bold flowers, and starry mountain skies. I bring warmth and color to familiar scenes.

Big fan of crows! They're deceptively complicated to draw or paint. Nice work!

Thanks, Robert. I appreciate your vote of confidence. I have sketched a crow every day for the past 65 days and posted it on my Instagram page. You can see more there, (@martyart75). Some of them are meh, others I really like, but that is how the world works when one is an artist, right? Thanks Again.

Crows and ravens were my default practice for a while this year and yes, some I like and some are exceedingly meh. I really like soluble graphite for them.

There's something about a profile view that asks you to really commit to the line work, and those layered feathers read as solid observation. The restraint in the palette keeps the eye where it needs to be.
