Essential quarantine creative goings-on.

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

As another Wednesday winds down, my creativity has other ideas...

Pink aliens in lieu of pink elephants here.

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

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!

“How To Control Your Dreams While You Sleep”, January 2024.

Continuing as I’m always inclined to do! Narwhals, witchcraft and cosmic things…

Had another drawing in progress I started at my art club tonight that I finished en route home… and here we are!

Been hillwalking a lot more than I used to, and it's starting to show itself in my doodles :)

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

Pink Elephants Wont Do (Try Sharks Instead), April 2022.

Why not?

“Halloween Time In Winter Town”, January 2025.

Darkness resumed!

Capybara time!

“I Have To Listen To Myself (But Im Afraid I Dont Speak The Language At Times)“, August 2022.

A great deal of upheaval in my personal life, including making steps to better my mental health as well as reflecting on changes in my work life (potentially) and also my living situation, have dominated my headspace as of late. Long story short, Buddha reminding us all to still any madness in life got me to work here as did the obvious itch to get some drawing done!

”Who Remembers When The End Was Only Just Beginning?”, December 2020.

Reflecting on the current pandemic, only to realise things this time last year gave plenty of us something to gripe about too... How times seemed simpler then.

“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)...

Ghosts, narwhals and other scribbled glories…

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.

“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...

1/2

“By all means grow old, but don’t mature. Remain childlike, retain wonder, the ability to be flabbergasted by something.” - Billy Connolly. Happy new year Doodle addicts!

Romantic birds and their narwhal pals.
