Went to the drawing gym and pushed the ballpoint pen to the limit here. No erasing necessary. Will definitely use this model in a new composition with graphite. #ballpointpen #ink #art #illustration #anatomy #typography #drawing #figuredrawing #surrealism #handlettering #muscle #tattoo #bikini #lineart

Grace Slick is a favorite portrait subject. Here she is casually tearing through the firmament. Rendered in Ink with digital color added to a high rez scan. #rock #ink #art #tattoo #illustration #portrait #cosmos #space #typography #poster #drawing #surrealism #music #popculture #galaxy

Hands down my best illustration from 2024. Dallas Cheerleader Zhenya painted in acrylic, with funky background typography rendered with airbrush. Did backflips when Miss Zhenya stated her approval on Instagram. Cheers, J Batten #pinup #dance #illustration #dallas #football #nfl #art #acrylicpainting #typography #texas

One from the drawing gym. Strictly ballpoint pen. Knocked out in a day. Started as a practice drawing and turned out to be a nice illustration. Hand lettered Garamond. #illustration #typography #ballpointpen #ink #inkdrawing #dancer #ballet #tattoo #tatouage #art #anatomy #muscle

Fresh graphite off the drawing board. New pinup character with a dash of Manga and generous helping of graffiti style lettering. Definitely anti-heroine. #pinup #manga #illustration #humor #pencildrawing #hair #pulp #dance #art #typography #comicart #graffiti

For first post on Mastodon, I give you 'Ladybug Lady' Laura Marie Masse. Rendered in graphite. Had been years since doing anything in pencil... Simply got carried away. #graphite #surrealism #art #typography #illustration #graffiti #ladybug #drawing #kunst #disco #sunlight #tattoo #baltimore #mastodonart #fantasy #design #portrait #typographie #muscle #dessin #lettering #creative #visualart #graphics #ladybuglady #artist
