With thanks to my girlfriend for gifting me with even more Washi tape for this one! :-)

Definitely in need of an escape, methinks.

A couple of beers, thoughts in my head about lockdown easing and Radiohead lingering in the background while I work = stuff like this.

Zigzag (It Makes The Mind Lag), January 2021.

To be perfectly honest, the latest lockdown announcement here in Scotland was bound to influence my art in some form or another... Needless to say this is going to be one looooong winter, one that’ll have me blasting “Here Comes The Sun” by The Beatles once it ends, or at the very least stabilises.

Apple Looking For Love In A Space With Rogue Cacti, October 2020.

Surreal folks in surreal worlds.

Triton Jrs Deep Sea Breakfast, October 2020.

Meal time for the jellyfish.

Like Bruce from Finding Nemo, they intended on having fish tonight...they succeeded.

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

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 :)

New sketchbook time! Onwards to new doodling-flavoured adventures... Keeping it simple to start things off (as is custom).

Romantic birds and their narwhal pals.

Caffeine rushes are essential to creativity (at least here!).

And that concludes the current sketchbook!

1/2

New sketchbook time! Introducing “Instant New Dolls” :-)

Saw this missing cat poster whilse out running errands the other day which started off with the sentence "Answers to Esme", and those words have been circling around in my head ever since. Naturally, the end product here had little to do with the finished artwork!

More toffee tinted, if anything.

You get the idea…

Pink aliens in lieu of pink elephants here.

“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 :)

Something about mermaids today! Got to love those fishy tailed sorts. :)

A spot of midnight improvisation and general creative spontaneity.
