Hello, my name is Bleu Hope,

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

One week on from Beltane Fire Festival 2025 and it stills feel surreal that’s it for another year, you know? It’ll be nice to get back to some semblance of normality/whatever… For now? Have a gar on me :-P :-)

Another bus doodle I started last night, paused on, and finished up the moment I woke up… typical Thursday, I suppose.

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?

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

And so ends another sketchbook, and just in time to break in the new year! Happy new year folks :-)

“The Goodbye Mysteries”, September 2024.

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

I know nothing of the actress of the same name (although I do need to watch The Spirit Of The Beehive someday), but the words alone had “drawing title” written all over them, so yeah!
