More than anything else, we are made of empty space. If the nucleus of a hydrogen atom was the size of a basketball then the electron that orbits it would be about about 3km away (about half the height of Mount Kilimanjaro). Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe and makes up 10% of the human body. It's the third most plentiful element in the human body, behind oxygen (65%) and carbon (18%). . . . #Halifax #NovaScotia #handdrawn #micronpen #rotringartpen #ink #instaart #drawing #art #etchr #etchrsketchbookhotpress #padair #applepencil #photoshopipad (at Halifax, Nova Scotia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9U59kKny14/?igshid=5k6etmmjomtf

Up to 60% of the adult human body is made of water. Different parts have different levels: lungs 82%, kidneys 79%, brain and heart 73%, bones 31%, . . . #Inktober #Inktober2019 #Halifax #NovaScotia #handdrawn #fountainpen #penandink #ink #instaart #drawing #art #lamysafari #noodlersink #borealisblack #inkwash https://www.instagram.com/p/B4EINnEJdOU/?igshid=5q2mgqkdom5a

My mind was blown when I first read that the majority of cells that make up our bodies are not human. We are teeming with microscopic creatures: bacteria, viruses, fungi and archaea (organisms initially misidentified as bacteria). Many are essential to our physical and psychological health. The more I’ve learned about the way our bodies and brains work the more confused I’ve become about the nature of my existence. It’s a delightful confusion though. . . . #Inktober #Inktober2019 #Halifax #NovaScotia #handdrawn #fountainpen #penandink #ink #instaart #drawing #art #lamysafari #kawekoink ##pentelbrushpen #inkwash (at Halifax, Nova Scotia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3TReXfnnpj/?igshid=3lwyvfuyf1k7

Portrait of Clay for Inktober 2018, Day 13. One of my favourite things about this project is sitting, hanging out and chatting with someone as I draw them. I love hearing Clay's many fascinating and surreal ideas. . . . #Inktober #Inktober2018 #Halifax #NovaScotia #handdrawn #fountainpen #penandink #ink #instaart #drawing #art #rotringpencil #platinumcarbonpen #platinumcarbonink #pentelbrushpen #inkwash#tombowabt #tradio #hitecc (at Uncommon Grounds) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp4L1UbnQDh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=teos63adoc61

Self-portrait for Inktober 2018, Day 12. I often look evil when I'm depicted in other people's drawings and now I've gone and done it to myself. I think it's the pointy eyebrows. There's been a lot of good natured teasing about this, which I find hilarious. A friend once told me that when the devil made me, he used a very small stick to jab two little holes in my face for my beady eyes. Recently, when I expressed some insecurity about the grey in my beard, another friend said that it made me look like a fabulous super villain . . . #Inktober #Inktober2018 #Halifax #NovaScotia #handdrawn #fountainpen #penandink #ink #instaart #drawing #art #rotringpencil #platinumcarbonpen #platinumcarbonink #pentelbrushpen #selfportrait https://www.instagram.com/p/BpuIGP2HfE3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=e9a84gq9ap7m

I went to life drawing at the Craig Gallery this past Monday and one of our models from Plan B was posing! It was one of those sessions where at the beginning I was like, do I even know how to draw? I managed to do a few nice drawings at the end after getting some caffeine into me.
