I guess I never realized just how much energy kids really do have.

Just doing it.

Just like winter runs, it’s fun to run in summer, through nature and hear the sounds of nature being amplified by the adrenaline rush.

You are exactly 7 years old!

Happy Birthday Lily, I love you so( SO SO SO SO ) much.

Falling up.

Falling up.
#pascalcampion
I’m not sure how else to describe that feeling..when you are super tired after a long day, and you dim the lights, get into a warm bath and you relax.. you feel like you’re sort of falling into it but your body is lifted up from it’s burden as well... it’s just a cool feeling... falling up!

The long run.

I realized after doing the first winter run last night that even if I'm not running..drawing this type of image does relax me and clears my head. Another cool thing about drawing!

I always come back to rainy pieces... I think it’s something to do with the fact that when your whole body is putting up against the elements, and a portion of your brain is just trying to get you to “safety”, to a dry area... it somehow gives you a clarity of thinking that you( or at least I) wouldn’t have in most other circumstances... like all of a sudden, things are clear! Priorities are nicely delineated and overall... it makes things simpler..even if it lasts only while you’re in the middle of the storm.

Funny how a brain works.

Pop’s.

It’s funny.. I started this one thinking about the old magazine racks from the AC store in Nome Alaska( that’s where I would buy all my comic books when I was there) and it evolved into a different type of sketch. I really enjoy letting whatever is my brain take over and “pilot” my hand now and then.. it’s like you are discovering the drawing as it’s happening. I really like that feeling.

The Happy song is playing on the radio.. kind of makes me want to move and groove..and draw fishes and Hawaii!

Can't keep me down too long.

That afternoon when we played Video Games

#pascalcampion

- I think I love you.

_Because I play video games better than you?

_I’m just letting you win so you keep playing with me.

-You’re a dork

_Maybe, but I’m lovely one, no?

_ Oh boy...

I just like the rain.

I just like the rain.

That’s it.. I just wanted to draw something simple...and I do like rain..so.. here it is.

Last round.

#pascalcampion
before I go to bed, I usually check on all of the kids and give them kisses good night. It makes it all worth it .

Up in the stars.

Best story time EVER!

Best story time EVER!

I think we have most of it... Flying unicorns, beautiful queens, Jetpacks and handsome prince, flying pirate ships and talking animals, a dinosaur and a band of hard talking, fast running little itty bitty pirates!

Sometimes I draw because I have an idea I want to put down on paper( or digital canvas), sometimes I draw because I’m trying to work something out in my life, or in my drawing, sometimes I draw because I’m bored.. or nervous, mostly I draw because I’m happy  and happy to draw, sometimes it’s because I’m tired and am dreaming of going away. Sometimes I draw what I am afraid of, and sometimes it’s what I want that comes out, I’ll make up some things and take straight out of my life others. Sometimes I know what I am doing, most of the time I don’t,  sometimes I’m happy with what I drew and sometimes... not so much...at times, I really don’t like it at all. Sometimes I wish I wasn’t an artist and most of the time I’m so happy I am one, sometimes I wish I could turn it on and off when I want. Sometimes I wish I was better and sometimes I think I’ve “got it”. Sometimes I draw what some people ask me to draw, sometimes I draw what my children want me to draw, sometimes I do it for friends, my wife, family, but most of the time, I do it for me...sometimes i do it for you.

Sometimes I draw because I see a pen, and sometimes I draw ...just because.


When people ask me why I draw the stuff that I draw.
There is no single answer to that question for me, just like what inspires me... it’s always different..different is good sometimes( and sometimes the same is even better)

Drawing is so organic, there are just as many ways and reasons to do it than there are people that want to do it.

You don’t need a higher purpose to start drawing.
But if you want to draw, you do need to start doing it,

I have a sort of love-hate relationship with Monday’s.

Donk!

Donk!
That’s the sound I hear when the light goes on at the end of the day and the beginning of the evening, when the daylight is just so that it has enough dark to trigger the automatic light switch.
Funny noise.
