Thanks, Andrew.

Just to be complete, here's the first of my two 1998 Doodle Art pieces.  I took a photo of the framed art.  The second 1998 piece already was posted in this topic.

Donn, what are the dimensions of the pieces and are they on paper. Also, how long does it take you to complete one? This one is one is also quite creative.

Cool. Some parts look voluminous, like 3D.

[donnweinberg]

Everything since 1998 has been either on:

 

* Strathmore 300-Series Bristol Smooth paper, 19" x 24" (48.3 x 61 cm). Most of my pieces are on this paper size.

 

or

 

* Utrecht Bristol 2-ply Smooth paper, 14" x 17". My 2020-3 is on this paper size.

 

My pieces before 1998 were on 8.5" x 11" letter-sized technical drawing paper. Those started as doodles, and then on the other side of each, I wrote a letter to my daughter at Summer camp. I asked her to save all of them and bring them back, and she did so.

Repaired another fountain pen (nib bent) - test.

Another outstanding work of art, Andrew.

I addressed the dimensions of the paper but forgot to address the time the pieces took to complete. I usually work a half-hour at a time, maybe twice a day, skipping a day here-or-there. It is typical for one piece to take me a month or two at my pace.

Thanks Donn!

Andrew, I think we need more cow-bell. Remember Christopher Walken on Saturday Night Live -- the "More Cowbell" skit that originally aired on April 8, 2000?

[Andrew_L]

This is not the first comment about "cow bell" that I received, but I did not understand it because I did not see it. Need to review in YouTube Thank you, Donn!
