Hello, my name is Bleu Hope,
and I'm a doodle addict. Edinburgh, Scotland, UK Plus

Edinburgh-based creature of habit equipped with all kinds of methods to apply to his madnesses.

I specialize in collage, drawing, illustration, mixed media art, pen and ink.

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

Something simple, yet magical...definitely need to draw more kelpies here!

Another alien oddball (as per usual)!

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?

Never dumb down for the dumbed down folks.

“What’s Noo Their (Composition For Sea Dragons And A Malapropism Of Mine)”, February 2021.

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

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

“(How To Live Through) Unsocial Glamor”, January 2021.

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

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!

Collage time again!

Sawshark symphonies and cryptic sorts.

“She’s A Dead Kisser And Mummified Alive”, February 2021.

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)...

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

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

A Shade Of Alasdair Gray, February 2021.

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

Keeping things together and setting records straight.

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?

Sunny daze and Animal Collective inspired, this is.

1/2

Art club adventures/usual Tuesday night stuff :-)

Feeling extra inspired today, it seems!

Seals and clocks = an intriguing combo I’d say.
