Bleu Hope's Uploads

Giving Pichu a cybernetic upgrade!

Currently reading ‘Nina Simone’s Gum’ by Warren Ellis at long last. What a phenomenal bit of work this is, and inspiring to boot most importantly as you can see. Thanks for sharing your stories with us all Warren!

Dragonite wishing you all a happy Chinese new year when it comes! :-)

A song of changes.

Whalesongs to round the week off (as usual).

Some folks in this world tend to get a kick out of their more negative impulses and for all sorts of trivial reasons. Had to crank out something in response to my thoughts on the matter here! On a lighter note, any excuse to draw an irrawaddy dolphin is a good one...:)

Sperm whale time!

The race heats up!

And into July we are, at last!

Winding down on a Wednesday with more of the same... all the sharks!

Another episode of narwhal fever.

Final page in the current sketchbook… and that concludes things (for now)!

1979’s The Tin Drum is one of those films I’ve been itching to see for a long time, but haven’t got round to yet for some reason. The main character in that film’s played by a guy called David Bennent. Not a household name for most, but you’ve seen Ridley Scott’s Legend, you’ll recognise him when he played Honeythorn Gump, Tom Cruise/Jack’s elfin pal. Not sure why the idea to name this piece after D.B. occurred to me, but it did!

As it does!

This piece is inspired by Mental Health Awareness Week that’s just left us. Belated and as cryptic as things might be (as usual) here in Bleu’s world, better late to the party than never right?

Many years back, I watched that documentary ‘The Boy Whose Skin Fell Off’ about a fellow called Jonny Kennedy who lived with the skin condition EB. There’s a bit in that film where he talks about what he hopes his afterlife would be like and, for whatever reason, a couple of coffees as I was re-reading the Wikipedia article about it triggered an idea I had to scribble down...

That time again, is it?

Darkness resumed!

And that concludes another sketchbook! Got through this one quite quickly…

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?

Nothing much to add here really (for now)...
