Sharpie Art Doodle Heart Drawing

Welcome to my art blog.  If you're reading this, you probably just received one of my sketchy, last minute flyers, and you want to see what I'm all about.  In a nutshell, in 2005, I actually lived in an indie art gallery in California, while driving a taxi on the weekends owned by the gallery owner.  After not doing anything creative for the few previous years, I started drawing and doing other creative work again.  During that time, I devised this way of shading by scribbling several colors of markers over each other.  For lack of a better name, I call this "scribble style."  In the decade since, I found that ultra fine point Sharpie markers work best for this technique, and I use plain old fine point black Sharpies to outline.  Now if you search "Sharpie art" on Google or You Tube, you'll most likely see something like the black and white "doodle art" above.  The drawing above is my attempt to try some of that style of doodle art, with a red heart in the middle shaded in my unique "scribble style." 

As of right now (Halloween, 2015), I've decided to really focus on my art, instead of just doing the stuff I like and the occasional drawing I'm asked to do.  To see the things I typically sell, check out the past few posts.  If you go back even further, you'll see some of my work from the last three years.  If you would like me to draw something for you, you can call me at (335) 937-3436 or email me at stevenemig13@gmail.com .  You can also friend me on Facebook, I'm on there as Steve Emig, and I share my artwork there, as well.  In the coming weeks and months I'll share more of my work on this blog, as well as write about my weird adventures in life that involved many aspects of creativity (and occasionally stupidity).  Thanks for checking my blog out, feel free to let me know what you think.
