catch this if you can

for some unexplained reason i am drawn to work that has monsters or animals or a combo of both..... these beautiful ink on paper drawings make me wanna go bust out my little sketch pad at work and say eff it...
someone told me recently, drawing is something you have to practice everyday. weirdly true for many things in life actually... these are from a daily journal by Crispy Copper aka Jon Macnair.

Echo Test, a solo exhibition of new pen-and-ink drawings by Los Angeles based artist Mel Kadel. Kadel is widely recognized for her lively patterned, often humorous scenes depicting tiny people, pushing, pulling, and climbing across the page. Using earth-toned inks on coffee-stained paper, Kadel's figures twist, tug and float in a fictional world governed by its own gravitational rules. Limbs, hair and faces merge to create rich patterns in shades of washed-out blue, gold, brown and red.

originally turned on to her work by miss Candice aka candy canes....
