Visual jamming, nothing new here! Also, hello February.

*Irn-Bru vibes a go-go here* As the wee small hours approach, I finally get round to testing the Washi tape I picked up last Sunday...

Just keep embracing your inner madness folks!

Sometimes, my demons inspire me in a weird way.

The word “backwards” in reverse would sound, I’m fairly certain, like something along the lines of ‘straw cab’ I’m presuming? Anyway, that was what randomly prompted me today to get cracking on with some art, heheheh.

It's all about masks and disguises.

Where’s Everything You Enjoyed Sincerely Before Luddites Overdosed On Defeat?”, June 2020.

Happy June one and all.

Rainy day creative goings-on.

A spot of midnight improvisation and general creative spontaneity.

“Divorced By The End Of The Chorus”, March 2022.

Was initially going to try coffee painting with this one, but that clearly wasn’t happening... Hence the mentioning of divorce here, it being my expectations being split from the reality this time around. Still, things worked out in the end!

Aaaaaaaaaand, September is here. Let's make this autumn a creative one...

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!

Sunny daze and Animal Collective inspired, this is.

Saturday Night After The Ozrics, February 2022.

Had to squeeze in some drawing earlier on yesterday before editing the photos I captured at Friday night’s gig with Ozric Tentacles and friends. Fantastic stuff that was!

All hearts are good ones (let's hope).

Kicking art blocks where it hurts, one step at a time.

When you find a mondegreen in one of your favourite Magnetic Fields songs and it sets off your creativity... Can’t be only one mishearing things here? Stephin Merritt sure knew how to mumble back in the ‘90s, that’s for certain: https://youtu.be/UGNKhVJbDM8

The title comes from words I saw in a dream this weekend past. Chinese food before bed = interesting results for the sleepy mind.

“Escaping The Hazards Of A Blizzard”, November 2023.

Happy National Illustration Day one and all!

“Powering Into The Year Of The Dragon”, February 2024.

1/2

Dragonite wishing you all a happy Chinese new year when it comes! :-)

Life in lockdown/business as always.
