Hello, my name is Hermit,
and I'm a doodle addict. UK

I call what I do "skav art" which is firmly rooted in its doodling origins. It's really a form of finished thumbnail sketching, drawn on anything below the size of A5 using just one single medium like a pen or a pencil. It does away with any further artistic processes, concentrating more on that initial raw idea.

I specialize in art, artist, biro, creative, drawing, pen and ink, pencil, skav art.

(Gel Fineliner on A5 Paper) My opinion of the whole Inktober challenge. There's something to be said for the rebellious nature of drawing a simple cock and balls!

(black biro on 74mm x 97mm memo paper) If that was being advertised in London, it would probably go for half a million and be split up into flats (apartments).

(HB pencil on a 87mm x 139mm postcard) Every leap year day, the residents of toon world go batshit crazy and indulge themselves, because it's the only day when they can really get hurt.

(Black biro on a 125mm x 75mm notecard) He'll be fine as long as he keeps talking. Luckily for him, he can arse-on about that crap forever and so just keep out of reach of the bollocks monsters.

(HB pencil on 85mm x 50mm card) The ultimate in pets. An entire world of your own to shape as you will.

(HB pencil on 85mm x 50mm card) A handy time-travel device.

(HB pencil on 85mm x 50mm card) A pen that allows you to write your own destiny, provided you use your own blood as ink.

(2B pencil on a 198mm x 124mm book title page) Profanity is a common form of blasphemy. Here, I've used it in a similar way as you'd see fonts used in the old Letraset catalogues. Plus, nobody says "fadge" anymore, and that used to be a good swear-word.

(fineliner on a 87mm x 139mm postcard) A piece that makes you think more about colour where there is none.

(Black biro on a 75mm x 125mm notecard) Another of my juxtaposed artworks, showing an everyday phrase against an unrelated comic book style frame.

(2B pencil on a 125mm x 75mm notecard) Another juxtaposed artwork that shows an everyday phrase used against a completely out of context comic book frame.

(2B pencil on a 87mm x 139mm postcard) The old comic book adverts used to promise amazing things for cheap prices. Here, I've spoofed that with an advert for a mind probe.

(2B pencil on a 87mm x 139mm postcard) Sometimes, how-to books were sold in old comic book adverts. These ranged from ventriloquism to hypnosis and promised amazing things when, in reality, they were just little booklets. With this artwork, I chose to depict one that would show you how to build something truly wonderful.

(2B pencil on a 87mm x 139mm postcard) X-ray specs were an iconic mail order item in comics. It was one of the first things that kids bought that introduced them to the world of dubious adverts. I kept the image here simple, like the original advert.

(2B pencil on a 87mm x 139mm postcard) There used to be comic book adverts for cap grenades, which this is a parody of.

(2B pencil on A6 card) A parody of the type of advert you'd see in the old comic books. What nasty little child wouldn't want something as wonderful as this?

(2B pencil on a 75mm x 125mm notecard) A reactionary piece, considering the growth of the far right in the world today.

(HB pencil on 63mm x 35mm card) An image taken from a recent video tutorial I did showing how to create Dreamscape artworks. The video can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW-PDd7Co44

(HB pencil on 80mm x 50mm paper) Similar to previous Guardian Spirit works I've done, but this time on an even smaller format so that I can hand them out as calling cards to people I meet. Again, the idea of them is a rib against those who believe in such nonsense as guardian angels and spirit guides.
