Words of wisdom that a friend came out with during a Lord Of The Rings Extended Editions film night over the weekend jumpstarted my creative juices this time around. :-)

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...

Not much in the way of atolls here, I went down a Laurel & Hardy flavoured rabbit hole and simply found a title I liked…

Happy new week!

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... '^^ :-)

The best way to finish off a good weekend? Some creativity of course!

The raven familiar sat atop Florien's head making a mess of his braids. Weaving herself a new nest, she pulled a long strand free from a loooping braid her gleaming beak tucking it into a place that she deemed appropriate. She watched the snowy landscape alert to danger as she worked.

For Inktober, doing an occult theme this year.

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

More whale songs for the winter time.

Drawing on my handmade notebook with colored pencils.

I've always loved drawing on various objects! This coffee-lid is from several years ago but I still love it and have it hanging on the bulletin board near my art desk.

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.

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

Okay, so, even though I was certainly not born in the times of Showbiz Pizza Place, I am still in love with it. My favorites are Billy Bob, Looney Bird, Rolfe Dewolfe, and Uncle Klunk (but saying that I have favorites makes it look like I don't love them all...). I really wish that Showbiz was able to stay around, just for one birthday... maybe my sweet 16, or something. I dunno. Drawn with FireAlpaca.

Hippo in charcoal and graphite

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

Full moons and whale songs.

The real Fredbear from DSaF. It's really him. "No, phony, it's just the real Fredbear." -violet hued man with a long neck

A less mangled Mangle, more animal like than the OG Mangle. Draw with FireAlpaca.

All Done! I’m pretty happy with how it turned out, but a few of the proportions are way off... but oh well. And I absolutely suck at manes(hair) soooo ya. Also I was curious, I’m thinking about getting some prints made of my artwork to sell, do any of you think you or someone you know would be interested in prints? Just curious, thanks! Hope you all are healthy and well! Photo by: Photography by Kelly and Kelly

Inktober Day 11 Short-eared Owl. No prompts.

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

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! :)
