More whale songs for the winter time.

The Beltane inspired streak continues!

I keep coming back to this Vice headline I saw and took a screenshot of this time last week, which inspired the title of this piece. Seems like a relevant metaphor to me (and others I know) for so many reasons right now! Thankfully nothing too traumatic in my case...

A remark someone at the fire spinning club I go on Monday evenings during chat I had with them last night got me doodling again!

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

New sketchbook time again? That it is. Credit to one of my workmates for inspiring the title here, hehehehe. It's been a busy few days here at Bleu HQ... '^^ :-)

After so many near scientific animal paintings, this was a break.

butterflies # ????? : two holly blues. This was a hard one and worthy of an art block with top and bottom wings distinguishing the species, composition and pose was almost impossible. Cue two of the Holly Blues! :)

Speed drawing of an owl in charcoal

Inktober Day 11 Short-eared Owl. No prompts.

More air clay work. Water colour paint. I have a resident squirrel, who I have named Melanie. She left an acorn in my garden and now I have a little oak tree.

This is a memorial piece for my dog, Gripper. I’m very happy with how it turned out.

Yet more Washi tape has been acquired!

After a productive couple of days, it’s a Mark Lanegan and manga kind of night here.

Ok, I promise the next one will be cute.

Nothing matters when you are asleep!

Having a go at something other than narwhals and belugas today... bowhead whales namely! I really like how this one turned out. :-)

I love to start with 3 boxes, and then see what comes out as I fill them in.

Mushrooms, moons and squids… also known as, the usual suspects.

Sunday night whale songs.

Nothing much to add really...

Drawn with FireAlpaca.

A weird fox, available as stickers at Redbubble. I don't know why I keep drawing flying; normally not flying, animals, anyone?

When February feels a bit January but you still feel inspired…

A bit of art therapy from this time last week after an overheated and, at times, shit-tacular day at work = the best kind of therapy.

Standard blue Pentel RSVP ballpoint pen.

A spot of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s wisdom always gets me by... :-)

And that concludes another sketchbook! New one incoming...
