Acrylic on Moleskine sketchbook

I was travelling two weeks ago, the train moved fast, so the only thing outside the train stable enough to be sketched was the sky.

Hibernation time has definitely come to an end on this part of the globe. It is now time to eat the world and so this one decided to bring himself to life and cast some magick around. Drawings are a very powerful tool for that. This is the first bear that I have ever created on paper and I don't know much about why he came out like this but I'm sure that he knows very well all about that. He is the sigil and I trust his eyes

Have just finished another epic doodle page in my moleskine, packed full of skulls monsters and xenomorphs

Got to work early today so I stayed in the car and drew the truck parked across my car.

A flock of pelicans with their beaks open waiting for fishermen to throw out tasty morsels. I drew this from a photo I took last month, from a coastal vacation. India Inks and watercolours.

Awesome doodle

...

Same idea as previous dragon work but a bit difference way

These were sketched in pencil, then gone over in ink and watercolor!

Get lost in the symmetry, maaaaan!

I love how typography, when selectively filled in, becomes a rhythm, a cadence, a song.

A little doodle made on a vintage index card from an auction...monoprinted with acrylics, then doodling.

"At 6 o'clock the window squeaks and mum calls time" from Graham's Up the Tree. It must have been strange for mbpardy to see his his story interpreted through my illustrations... but page by page these characters came to life, with both of our contributions somehow adding up to something bigger.

My iPad doodle of the shipyard cranes. Near where I grew up in Belfast. I managed to get to the top of one whilst a young boy. Some view over Belfast.

A quick sketch of a man holding a cup of coffee. This was drawn from a reference photo. Lately I've been practicing portraits. Trying to limit myself to 20 mins or so and just draw the basic form as best I can. Otherwise I'll fiddle with the details and spend hours trying to adjust things. Sketching in ink helps also since I can't erase. Need to get more comfortable sketching faster, but I like the way this turned out.

One of my favourite pedals....as used by a hero of mine...Mr Cobain
