abstract

The 'arting while travelling' exercise I'm ever so fond of.

The final doodle from my current sketchbook! As one door closes, another opens.

As it says on the tin! Don’t let those bastards grind you down.

Something water themed.

Sharpie marker on illustration board. Late '80's

Something meaningful and hippie-like.

The creative demon possessing me at the time must’ve either been Mark E. Smith or Radiohead’s ‘Hail To The Thief’ shaped, judging by the lyrics of this one..

Cartoons old and gold just keep on inspiring me.

"Lang may yer lum reek (a Hogmanay greeting, implying "May you never be without fuel for your fire!", but more literally translates to "Long may your chimney smoke!")" All this I corrupted and used to inspire me here.

More festive things! A belated Merry Christmas to you all folks. :)

The title I feel’s a touch wrong, but I like it and I hope you do too.

Deep blue sees.

For robbing hoods?

Tasteful isolation.

Fun fact: This, some 34 years ago, nearly became the title of Pixar’s first short “The Adventures Of André & Wally B.”. You learn something new every day folks...

An ode to catnaps and snoozes of all kinds. #art #illustration #traditionalart #mixedmediaart #surreal #abstractart #experimental #lofi #outsiderart #folkart #linedrawing #collage #freeform #cutandpaste #psychedelicfolk #sleep #dream #blackoutgen #collage #artistsofinstagram #edinburgh #scotland #unitedkingdom

All this and possibly some other things.

I needed inspiration and was lacking a title so, yeah...

No idea where this title came from, but it works so...yeah. Also, new sketchbook time!

I wrote some words, cut them up and rearranged them. What else is new?

Only the first of the month of a new year, and I’m keeping busy as ever…

Must be time to get things started with a new sketchbook! Introducing “Hears A New World Again” :-)

It is what it always is.

Need I say more?

Happens more than you think!

Warm and cool winds mixing and blowing over sand ridges. A memory from living on the edge of a desert in Western Australia. Sometimes, walking the early morning the air is still cool in the shade of the trees, but the moment you step out into the sun, it is already hot.

Back in the studio after taking the weekend off. Experimenting with adding colour and bolder lines.
