My buddy @docpop does a thing called #sidewalkfriends where he finds images in various sidewalk photos and makes things. Check out his feed for more! He invited me to make one from one of his photos! I added a few versions that I started but never finished. #procreateart

Today’s #SidewalkFriends drawing is a wizard with a flaming skull. Based on a stain that an oak leaf left on the sidewalk after the rain. #MastoArt #Procreate

This #SidewalkFriends drawing seems to be turning into a wizard. Which head do y'all like best?

I’m not sure what to call this. A leaf stain? Anyways, this leaf stain could make for a cool #SidewalkFriends drawing. I’ll see what it turns into.

A warm morning in SF. I’m outside of La Lucha Coffeeshop listening to new albums and starting work on a #SidewalkFriends sketch based on a nearby puddle.

Today’s #SidewalkFriends sketch is a rare long-tailed corgi being fed a ChocoTaco.

Spotted a covered up tag on the sidewalk and thought it looked like a short dog. I’m not sure what the object was beside it, but it reminded me of a Choco Taco. #ProcreateApp

My first #SidewalkFriends sketch of 2023.

Okay, it’s not actually a sidewalk, but it’s my weird project so I can call it what I want. Spotted this puddle on our kitchen floor while baking.

Rounding up a few of my favorite #SidewalkFriends drawings for #ArtVSArtist2022

A festive new #SidewalkFriends drawing.

A dried patch of something (paint?) I spotted on a cold winter morning in #SanFrancisco turns into #MariLwyd. The Mari Lwyd is a wassail-singing folk character from South Wales traditions. It goes door to door challenging occupants to a battle of wits. If victorious, the Mari Lwyd wins food and ale, then grants the household good luck for the following year.

I snapped a photo on my morning walk and I’m about to start drawing a #SidewalkFriends illustration over it. I though I’d share the raw photo first so anyone else can draw on it if they want to. I’ll share my drawing in an hour.

I like to keep my eye out for cool shapes during my walks and use them as inspiration for my #SidewalkFriends drawings. It’s like my version of hunting for Pokémon.

This dried paint on a nearby sidewalk in #SanFrancisco, was the perfect shape for for a fast moving cyclist.

I was yo-yoing outside of a coffee shop called CoffeeShop for ten minutes or so. Then a young girl, maybe 6 or 7, approached me with her dad. The dad handed me a sheet of paper and said “My daughter made a drawing of you and thought you might like to keep it.”

I love the sketch and thought I’d try using it as inspiration, like I do with my #SidewalkFriends series. So here is my re-interpretation of her interpretation of me playing #yoyo on the sidewalk.

One of my #SidewalkFriends. I like to keep my eye out for weird stains or cracks on the street, then use them for artistic inspiration. I shot this on my phone, then painted the skater in #procreate.

I’m having a great time at Kid Koala’s “Music To Draw To” event in Isotope Comics. I snapped this photo on the way here and used it as an inspiration for one of my #SidewalkFriends drawings.

I spotted these cool clouds this morning and used them as inspiration for a quick drawing on my iPad.

Btw, I think the same clouds could work for a Phoenix drawing, like in San Francisco’s flag. If anyone wants to draw that, feel free to use any of these photos as CC-BY. #Turkey #procreate #Thanksgiving #SidewalkFriends #94110
