New art supplies = the best excuse to get creative! Also, narwhals.

“Hikyaku - literally "fleet feet" or "flying feet." These running messengers played a critical role in delivering items and messages, given that in Japan's mountainous terrain, other modes of transportation, like horses or carriages, weren't very practical.”

Monday motivation...of a sorts (it's technically Tuesday on my side of the pond, but whatever).

Onwards to closure.

The creative streak continues!

Kicking things off with the new sketchbook! And what a time to do so... Coronavirus is rampant everywhere it seems, however big or small. If self-isolation (even for just a bit, wherever you are) is the way to combat this then I suggest making the most of this time. *Captain Obvious groove*

Island mentality.

This time with squids!

The Teddy Roosevelt Experience, November 2020.

Back to more surreal programming.

Day of the Dead vibes all around here!

Feeling extra inspired today, it seems!

Finally got round to watching Hunt For The Wilderpeople, after eons of procrastinating over doing so, and was well chuffed at how great it was! Gave me some much needed inspiration for some art as well, always a bonus. Can see what the Deadpool 2 guys saw in Julian Dennison that’s for sure, and of course Sam Neill was brilliant as well. Can’t be forgetting Taika Waititi either for directing it! Excellent job from all in my opinion :)

Computers with literal mouses? Yep, it's that kind of day here!

As it says!

Inspired by allsorts, as always :)

Once In A Blue Moon (Once Again), August 2020.

Rainy day assemblages.

“In The Spirit Of Blixa Bargeld Returning To The High School He Firebombed As A Student”, October 2021.

Apparently, Blixa Bargeld of Einsturzende Neubaten and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds fame actually did this to his school back when he was a lad! I needed an idea for a convoluted weird-as-they-come title, and after reading that story I knew I had something, heheheh :)

In a funk, but getting out of it quick.

Red Haired Lady of the Cloud Cuckoolands, September 2020.

Aliens seeking company and respite...

Memory Of Barbaric Customs, December 2020.

Whenever I’m channel surfing, I often find myself stumbling into a film midway through it’s running time, and tend to stick around if there’s elements that pique my curiosity and just catch my eye etc. My Girl 2, of all films, was one of them this time around. A line about “barbaric customs” or roundabouts prompted me to pick up my drawing kit...and here we are!

My take on this month’s “Draw Me A Robot” challenge!
