Rediscovered the German language versions of Peter Gabriel’s third and fourth albums (terrific btw) and come ‘Schock den Affen’ was intrigued at how the German word for ‘monkey’ sounds a hell of a lot like orphan… of course that might just be my ears, you know?
One of my Swirly Designs, illustrated with different tools such as Graphite, Aquarelle, Ink Pens and Ai & Tablet. Sometimes sheer Vectorillustration/design.

Post London / Stray Kids gig reflection time…
Never thought I’d be gushing about those guys through my art, but who cares? Here’s a band who knows how to put on a good show! Amazing stuff :-)
Inspired by one of the bus routes I take back home from my Judo class in the evenings and how long said journey takes in terms of minutes… you’d think it was a quick trip but I assure you it’s not!
Narwhal flavours, washi tape as always and a cheeky Cymera sticker to start my current sketchbook… this one entitled “All Fishes Are Weird”.
One way to kill time during delays getting back home on the train back from London yesterday!
Overheard the title on the radio this weekend describing Radiohead songs of the In Rainbows era (you probably know the one)… And that ends my current sketchbook!
The Truth, Life, and Way
Medium: Acrylic paint on canvas
Size: 10 “x 20”
Year: 2021-2022
This illustration is final illustration, of nine, of a mural about the life of Christ.
In this painting I attempt to communicate to the viewer who Jesus is to the Christian.
He is the truth; Jesus is the word of God that put-on Flesh. Jesuses’ life fulfills all prophecies that were made about God’s Deliver.
Though, Jesus was human, He was also totally Devine.
God put on flesh with out the nature of sin, by being born through virgin conception.
Since the fall of humankind at the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which took place in the garden of Eden. The sin nature is past down through the generations of humankind through the male.
Jesus on our behave, taught humanity the requirements needed to reunite with God, and how to live life in a new and better way.
The savior then traded places with a criminal to hang on a cross.
The guiltless, paying the penalty of the guilty. For a sinner cannot offer an acceptable payment to a holy God to set them free from facing the wrath of God’s upon their sin. They can only be for given for their sins by coming to God through the savior He has provider for them
The resurrection
After God had poured out his wrath upon the savior’s body, Jesus was dead and buried in a tomb for three days. God raised him back to life, showing that the sacrifice was excepted. Jesus is the first fruit, so that whoever places their faith in Christ for the forgiveness of their sins, they to shall raise from the dead unto enteral life.
Jesus is the life
As believer walk in their new relationship with God, they will face many challenging times.
For the Devil and his coworkers are unhappy with your newfound relationship with God.
They will wage war with you, but be of good cheerer, Jesus has overcome them for us.
Jesus promise that He will never leave us or forsake us. He will be with us to the end of the age.
I painted Jesus and the believers with their back to the empty tomb. This is to emphasize the price that was paid to set us free from the chains of the power of sin.
Jesus standing alongside the believer with the direction finger, as He guides Him along the way he should go.
What I was trying to capture.
In read the account of the first people going to the tomb where Jesus was buried, it describes the woman getting there before the sun came up. I was trying to capture that time of day in my illustration.
Every dawning of a new day is a change follow Christ, better than we did yesterday.
