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.

You can also find me on:

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

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

1/2

When narwhals meet Pokemon…

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

Morning flavoured improvisations…

Whale, no 1…

Figured I’d try my hand at something fan art flavoured for this one… namely in the form of my favourite tiny fictional character, Kirby! I can’t ascertain when exactly I became a fan of the Kirby franchise, although playing Super Smash Bros as a young boy may have something to do with that. Whatever the case, I got hooked on the pink (or blue in some cases) puffball very quickly!

“Unicorn (Feeding The...)”, February 2022.

Full moons and whale songs.

Here's to those lighter nights...

“Peter Falk Der Filmstar (No. 2)”, December 2021.

One last drawing before 2021 draws to a close... There may come a day when I don’t get inspiration from Wings Of Desire, but today’s not one of them (tomorrow’s not looking good either), hehehe. Happy new year when it comes my friends!

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

Happy National Illustration Day one and all!

“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 dub reggae on the radio may have swayed stuff tonight...

“...But I Mostly Live Inside My Head”, May 2022.

Another seal of approval? *ba-dum-tss*

As far as things that I can’t seem to shake off are concerned, it’s this fact that a place like Edinburgh where I live is akin to a village where everyone (artist folk in particular) seems to know everyone, and the patterns or quirks that emerge from this said thought process. In most collectives I’m a part of and/or are associated with, there’s what seems like an endless sense of crossover and overlap with fellow artists etc for lack of better words, which is lovely as it is insane... you know? All in all though, even if it drives me mad it does so in a strangely positive way and I’ve learned to live with that. So yeah, make of that what you will. :-)

It totally bypassed my mind that last night I would be off to see Gary Numan with my uncle. The perks of having both an over-active work life and a social one too...

Phew! What a fortnight it's been here. Been engaging more in my photography as of late, but the day-job's had me on 'go' mode all Easter quite frankly. Thank the maker for those moments to yourself when you can just.. well, indulge really.

How I Ended This Summer (Simple Things), September 2022.

Somewhat right! Also, new Washi tape time :-)

Something pertaining to twins and symmetry (figuratively speaking)…

Even In The Future Something Works, January 2022.

More whale songs for the winter time.

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

This time with squids!

Shark In Festering Waters Thinking Happier Thoughts, April 2022.

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