This is another of my new series of illustrated poetry from my new book "The Planets: a scifaiku poetry collection". Each Sunday, I set up my desk into "art mode" and work on poetry sketches, urban sketching, my Bujo, or watercolors. Excuse the mess, but creative minds are seldom tidy! This is a true picture of my art studio as I work. My #scifaiku #poems are #illustrated on Canson mixed media paper using #fabercastell PITT pens. When the image is completed, I scan both a printable high res image for art shows and a low res image suitable for my blog. If you'd like to see the finished image, it is available for view at No Wasted Ink. Links are in my IG profile. #poetsofinstagram #poetlife #sketching #poetry #poetrycommunity #haiku #illustrationsketch #illustration #drawings #sketchbook #art #artistlife #artstudio #artstudiolife

As I work at my table in the dealer room, I find that most of the convention comes to me. This is a series of shots of people around me. The first one is of Christopher Eccleston who was having a great time with his fans as he signed autographs a mere twenty feet from my table. This is his first Dr. Who Convention and the fans went all out to make him feel at home on his birthday. A large number of them sang him a birthday song. He was still there, shaking hands and laughing with fans long after I closed and packed up my business at the end of the convention. What a cool dude. :) For my non-whoivan followers, Eccleston was the first doctor to kick off the reboot of the series. He only did one season, but he was an astonishingly good doctor. I've always been sorry that he didn't do another two or three seasons in the role even though I love David Tennent. I took a couple of shots of cosplayers who really went all out on their costumes, including author Barbara Hambley who had an awesome Timelord look. You have to see it. :) So please do swipe to see the rest of the fun. #cosplay #costume #drwho #gallifreyone2020 #gallifreyone #christophereccleston #timelord #fandom

I've been a dealer at Gallifrey One for around twelve years or longer. This year was a total blast for me. Sales were brisk, people were happy and in a great mood, and several of my friends stopped by my table to chat. I want to say thank you to all my customers at the convention. You make my small business rock. While I am more an author and poet these days, it felt great to be centered at my jewelry table and talking stones with folks. I love programming and realize that I'm out there more as an author on panels these days, but this weekend, I was stepping back in my previous role. Swipe right if you'd like to see this year's table and a close up of some of my jewelry offerings. The first shot is of the books I was autographing at the table this year. #gallifreyone #Drwho #artisanjewelry #artisan #stonejewelry #fandom #sciencefiction #scifaiku #poetrychapbook #poetrycollection #austen #books #autographs #jeweler #authors

Sunday is my designated art day. I am currently working on illustrating a selection of poems from my new book "The Planets". This is my desk in art mode. I have a new drawing board which holds my art journal at a comfortable angle. This is a great improvement from sketching flat on my desk. My #scifaiku #poems are #illustrated on Canon mixed media paper, the ink is Faber Castile PITT pens. When completed, I scan the image and make low res images for my blog and high res images for art prints. I hope you enjoy this sneak peek of my creative process. The finished image is on my blog. Links there are in my IG profile. #sketching #poetry #poetsofinstagram #poetlife #poetrycommunity #haiku #illustrationsketch #illustration #drawings #sketchbook #art #artistlife #artstudio
