Bleu Hope's Uploads

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!

Before social hijinks earlier last night, more ideas needed to explode onto paper...

Full moons and whale songs.

Caffeine-induced crazy.

Collage time! What else is new, eh?

Rainy days = a perfect excuse for a shedload of coffee and drawing to indulge in. :) Occurs to me I did one with the title “Laurel Weaver” close to four years ago. Not much else connects the two beyond the title or does it? I don’t know... Whatever the case, I fancied recycling and revisiting this idea somehow. Enjoy!

*Irn-Bru vibes a go-go here* As the wee small hours approach, I finally get round to testing the Washi tape I picked up last Sunday...

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...

Narwhals meandering again...

More whale songs for the winter time.

“The less you know about me the more interesting it will be to watch me do what I do.” - Philip Seymour Hoffman.

John Lurie flavoured shenanigans...

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

Bringing in 2022 properly with something simple...

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!

Stream of consciousness scribblings yet again. :)

Sunday night whale songs.

Saturday night doodle-fest/collage-fest/general art party here. :)

Back at it! Something, shark...

The best way to finish off a good weekend? Some creativity of course!

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!
