Pen and Ink Gallery

Welcome to my Ink gallery, a curated collection of my favorite ink drawings from this year’s Inktober challenges. Each piece showcases my exploration of themes, textures, and storytelling through the art of inking.

These are the highlights of my Inktober journey, but you can view the full collection on my Instagram: @js_nova.nouveau. Feel free to reach out if any of these pieces resonate with you—I’d love to hear your thoughts or discuss custom artwork inspired by this series.

David Finch Study

Study session! Took some time to dive into the bold, detailed line work of David Finch he is one of my favorites. It’s all about pushing myself in new directions and experimenting with style.

Pen and Ink Landscapes

These works explore natural environments through intricate linework, tonal contrast, and expressive mark-making. Using traditional pen and ink techniques on toned paper, I aim to capture the rhythm, texture, and mood of each landscape—whether it's the movement of water over stone or the quiet presence of a bird in its native terrain. This series reflects my deep connection to the wild and my desire to merge observation with design.
