Bleu Hope's Uploads

New year, similar kind of tricks. Hope it’s treating you all well so far!

Narwhals it seems, and I’m sure I’ve said this before, are a perfect remedy for art blocks I'd say. Wasn’t going anywhere last night, that is until I gave things another go and this fellow here saved the day!

An old friend returns!

Keeping things together and setting records straight.

Feeling extra inspired today, it seems!

Repeated psych-folk listenings/last night’s drunken pretensions informed a misspelling of things or two...

I do browse some weird things on places like Youtube, without a doubt! Definitely in the search of inspiration 9 out of 10 times though (as you can see)...

I know there’s probably a few decent folks worth voting for come the general election here in Scotland I’ll settle on, though for the most part the loudest mouthpieces seem to just scream ‘bell-end’ to me... I was playing around with Google Translate and various sentences I’d jotted down, and opted to go with the closest approximation from English into German for ‘I’m voting for Muppets’, which is 'Ich stimme fur Muppets'. ‘Ich stimme’ read to me as ‘itch stim’ for whatever reason (anglophone and neurodivergent here), which seems rather fitting as the thought of the worst candidates getting in is liable to have us all come out in stress rashes, am I right?

Possibly inspired by current events.

Narwhals swimming in mandala flavoured pools. Same methods, new frontiers I'm guessing?

An autogenerated Youtube playlist (that I’ve yet to listen to) prompted this malarkey... This narwhal needed a home too!

Current events mean retreating into my sketchbook is the way of things today, until it blows over(ish, emphasis on the -ish).

For a long time, I always misheard the lyrics in the song ‘Torn Green Velvet Eyes’ by The Magnetic Fields as ‘Tom Green Velvet Eyes’… told myself that one day I’d draw something inspired by this mishearing of things and well, here you go!

All the plushies! All the Washi tape!

Sawshark symphonies and cryptic sorts.

I think I've used this festive hangover as an excuse for (what seems) a little too long now, hahahaha! Back to business...

Playing around with anagram generators for inspiration this time around, as you do.

New sketchbook time! Had to throw in a shark. No idea why, just did :)

As we approach the end of winter, who knows where we’ll end up next? Still cautiously optimistic here... As long as there’s stuff to inspire us all, it can’t be all that bad?

Whalesongs to round the week off (as usual).

Lazy Sunday afternoons and all things Beatles influenced...
