Hello Friday, I can’t believe you’re already here! I really wanted to post my photo diary like I have for past few weeks every Friday but I’ve been ill with sinus  infection all week long. I’m still on antibiotics that are giving me annoying side effect so all of my activities were reduced to a minimum. Arlen had to do a bunch of work for me, like cutting a pile of cardboard, packing and shipping all of the prints ordered in sale. (And if I may say so he did a great job at it.)

So, instead of sharing my photo diary this week I’m sharing an art piece made by Arlen called Turtle-Duck In Focus.

He used ZIG multiliners , gelly rolls on 5.5x8inch on original lino cut texture made by me. You might remember seeing those textures here.

I know I’m very biased  but I love all of  his work and here are some of my all-time Alkaline Samurai favorites:

Alkaline Insight

On this piece Arlen used Zig art and graphic brush tip, and zig Millennium multiliner. 0.05mm on 8.5 by 11 inch bristol paper. All of the multiliner  work was done free hand under microscope.

In fact, he does a lot of his detailed work under the microscope, he’s just awesome like that.

Full Bloom

A drawing done by Prisma brush tips and gelly rolls inspired by sakura.

Arlen also frequently fills up pages of Moleskines with his detailed ink art, here are some of my personal faves from his Moleskines:

MOLEcular Intelligence Page 1 new mini moleskine!

In the wind , Mini moleskine page 11

Encroachment, mini moleskine Page 12

Here is  a photo of his latest Moleskine drawing: The Turtle Ducks Living House , on a hilltop, overlooking the beach… ( page 2)

More of his, non-Moleskine related art:

Although somewhat atypical to his usual style, this piece , Fluid, is one of my super favorites by him.

Consider, a card I have framed above my desk.

Forest Spirit, another card by him I own

Arlen also designs  unique characters,  he used to draw  a lot of gummies, now he’s making up stories with turtleducks:

He also designed some instrument characters, like this naughty piano:

(Oh, and he makes music himself, you can hear some of his beats here.)

If you like, you can check out more of Arlen’s artwork on his flickr.

Artist Arlen Dean (Alkaline Samurai) is having a card give away on his flickr. The card has a print of one of  our latest collaborations, called  Tru Duckery (I did the background texture and he painted a couple of turtleducks). So, if you’re on flickr, you can check out his giveaway here. And be fast because the  first one who sends him a message, gets a card

Drawn by Alkaline Samurai ( he used black multiliner on A4 paper ) and digitally colored by me.

Another collaboration with Alkaline Samurai, he drew the colorful lines and I made the Noodles Mountain.

Acrylics and ink painting done on a wooden panel.
This is the first of six paintings in the series, done in collaboration with Arlen Dean (Alkaline Samurai on flickr.)

Drawing with Arlen, just for fun. We’re actually working on another more “serious” collaboration together, a painting on 6 wooden panels, more about that soon. It’s always fun when he comes to visit!

“Lucky garden”, 70×50 cm, mixed media
This is a second collaboration with Arlen Dean (Alkaline Samurai on flickr), it was very fun making it. It was Arlen’s idea to get a big poster paper and first add some abstract colorful paper cut outs and then draw around them.

I’m not on my vacation anymore, so I’m looking forward to catching up with your blogs as soon as I can. Have a wonderful week everyone!
