A line taken from the current book I’m digesting… Finally reading the My Neighbor Totoro book my girlfriend got me for my birthday. Slowly getting through but enjoying it immensely!

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!

Poison arrow frog time! With some wisdom from the late, great José Mujica included… rest in power good sir.

It’s Beltane! Here, have another cuttlefish and capybara pairing :-)

Well, these are my usual suspects!

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

Part of a series I've been creating of colorful insects, plants, birds, and animals.

It continues! Whatever “it” is…

This, pretty much!

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?

**Are Red Foxes Endangered?** Currently, red foxes do not have such a status. The IUCN claims that the mammals’ population is stable and does not consider red foxes to be endangered. In fact, they also say that their highest population density is in the UK. Up to 30 red foxes per square 0.5km can exist. However, in the UK the red fox population has fallen by about 41% from 1995 until 2017. There are several large threats to the red fox population, mainly habitat losses and fragmentations, plus exploitation and hunting. Habitat loss is the most serious of them all. Luckily for the species, they are very adaptable and can live in different conditions, which is also one of the reasons foxes have been regular visitors to urbanised areas and people’s yards. They come to look for food, which their natural habitat offers less of. In the UK, there are some strict rules about dealing with foxes on your property and you can get a serious fine or even get jailed if you do not follow them.

Watercolour pencils in A6 sketchbook

A resident of Gatti di Roma cat Sanctuary in Rome. This piece will be auctioned and the proceeds will go to the charity.

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!

Back at it with the narwhals and frogs!

Seemed like a good name for it, that’s all I can say about it really!

Just over a week to go until Beltane kicks off at last!

My mum and dad brought me back this wristband from their holidays recently. The design gave me some inspiration naturally!

Much needed words of wisdom, I’d say!

Dreams of frogs, as you do.

Spooky songs yet again…

The pink bunny of love

Started with the eye and had to figure out what to do from there

Tom Hanks and his wit starting off my imagination today…

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 :-)
