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!

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

“Swordfish Apprentice & Friend”, March 2025.

The sea unicorn returns with a companion!

“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!

Definitely in need of an escape, methinks.

Dump those dirty oranges, if you know what I mean (and I'm sure most of you do)...

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

Sunny daze and Animal Collective inspired, this is.

“α Centauri (3/4 Of...)”, September 2020.

Cats, space, and the usuals.

Sawshark symphonies and cryptic sorts.

“The Goodbye Mysteries”, September 2024.

This week’s narwhal and cat collage I’ve been procrastinating over like mad, wouldn’t be like me…

Some tiger shark love.

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?

Rabbit-eared whales because... well, why not?

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

Happy National Illustration Day one and all!

Possibly inspired by current events.

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

When narwhals meet Pokemon…

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!

Flying High And Free (Here In The Deep Sea), April 2021.

Thinking ahead to loosening restrictions here in Scotland, one more day to go...

“From The River To The Sea And Back Again”, April 2025.

Morning flavoured improvisations…
