Nifty gadget
What is a niftier gadget than a ratcheting pipe cutter? Maybe an iPhone, but not much else.

"Daily drawings and paintings by Joan Yoshioka"
About Me
- Joan Y
- Hawaii, United States
- Hi! I'm an outdoor-lovin' optimist, biologist/botanist, and habitual creator of art-stuff. I believe the key to our most fundamental and truest part of ourselves is found in nature and I constantly draw on it for inspiration. "Keep your love of nature, for that is the true way to understand art more and more". - Vincent van Gogh
Want to purchase artwork?
Just shoot me an email at joanyoshioka(at)gmail(dot)com! The oil paintings were painted with artist grade paints on cotton canvas with sides painted black so they don't have to be framed; they hang perfectly with a little nail (not pretentious at all!). Watercolors are on Arches 140 lb. watercolor paper using artist grade paints; the art cards are sent out in a sturdy plastic art card sleeve. If you'd like the original watercolor matted, please let me know. All prints are giclee meaning they are made with archival pigment dyes and are professionally mounted on acid free foam board with acid free mats in a clear cellophane envelop. Please note that the colors in the originals may differ from your screen.
Welcome!

I can't believe this is pen, it's so delicate! Lovely drawing!
Great job! This reminds me of the Craftsman "Robogrip" tools I used to assemble when I worked at a factory years ago.
YOu all crack me up!! Joan, you are hilarious! I envision your stocking filled with power tools from Santa this Christmas. : )
now i think i would say a cropadile or a paper trimmer but to each her own tools :-) great drawing too!
I'm reading this on my iPhone! But yes, yours is a nifty tool indeed, and very nicely rendered.
I gotta get me one o' those. :) Another great sketch ~
What pen did you use for this?
I love it. Love it.
Felicity! ... thanks! I had fun with this pen. It's not one I normally use.
Steve ... I wish I had invented this doohickey! It's really cool. Dang, I dunno if I could ever work in a factory. Did you at least get freebies?
Kate ... hehe. I have a thing for tools. I will take you on one of my jaunts to Home Depot! We'll have a blast!
Tracy ... uhh, what's a cropadile? Paper trimmers are cool but this one makes ratchety noises too!
Martha ... I am envious. I don't have an iPhone. This is my one big hint for Christmas. But of course, an iPod Touch would be even finer!
Serena ... I see you have a thing for tools too, huh?
France ... I really don't know what the pen is. It's a ballpoint pen I found lying around my desk. I think it's a Bic medium point. I had such a craving to draw that I didn't even bother looking for my "real" pens. I picked up whatever was around and got cracking. I would have even used some lipstick ... if I had any. haha.
only a woman with a broken toilet would compare a pipe cutter with an iPhone! lol! great drawing as always!!
Great drawing. A nifty gadget i'm sure - wouldn'tknow what to do with it myself though.
sound effects are good Joan LOL
here's a cropadile.... you'll notice it looks somewhat ratchety HA!

....and who else could make this so interesting? Beautiful pen work.
Thanks Juj ... It was my overt hint to cosmic Santa Claus' for an iPhone. LOL. I have no shame. hahahaha.
Hey Andrea ... There are some tools that are just cool. This is one of them.
Tracy! Thanks for the link! Yes, I would consider a cropadile very cool! I learn something new everyday from you!
LOL Thanks Casey! I tend to be mechanically minded so this kind of stuff really appeals to me. Thanks for the encouragement!
Love the detail in this Jo, another great drawing!
Thanks Mariana! :)
