Bleu Hope's Uploads

To be perfectly honest, the latest lockdown announcement here in Scotland was bound to influence my art in some form or another... Needless to say this is going to be one looooong winter, one that’ll have me blasting “Here Comes The Sun” by The Beatles once it ends, or at the very least stabilises.

New year, similar kind of tricks. Hope it’s treating you all well so far!

I think I've used this festive hangover as an excuse for (what seems) a little too long now, hahahaha! Back to business...

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

Whenever I’m channel surfing, I often find myself stumbling into a film midway through it’s running time, and tend to stick around if there’s elements that pique my curiosity and just catch my eye etc. My Girl 2, of all films, was one of them this time around. A line about “barbaric customs” or roundabouts prompted me to pick up my drawing kit...and here we are!

Reflecting on the current pandemic, only to realise things this time last year gave plenty of us something to gripe about too... How times seemed simpler then.

Keeping things together and setting records straight.

Narwhals, washi tape, patterns galore...or as I like to call it, a standard Friday night.

When you find a mondegreen in one of your favourite Magnetic Fields songs and it sets off your creativity... Can’t be only one mishearing things here? Stephin Merritt sure knew how to mumble back in the ‘90s, that’s for certain: https://youtu.be/UGNKhVJbDM8

Gone to Gallifrey.

Living in the moment...

Caffeine rushes are essential to creativity (at least here!).

Hoot-hoot and all that, hehehe.

Back to more surreal programming.

Possibly inspired by current events.

The race heats up!

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

Day of the Dead vibes all around here!

Meal time for the jellyfish.

More toffee tinted, if anything.

Saw this missing cat poster whilse out running errands the other day which started off with the sentence "Answers to Esme", and those words have been circling around in my head ever since. Naturally, the end product here had little to do with the finished artwork!
