This earth is tired and humanless.

Watercolor day 27.

What is your relationship with a Higer Power like? A friend of mine mentioned to me that a Rabbi Friend of his suggested that God likes a good argument. I thought that was funny. The self portrait is G2 .o5 on bristol board with marker for the added color.

Finally got round to watching Hunt For The Wilderpeople, after eons of procrastinating over doing so, and was well chuffed at how great it was! Gave me some much needed inspiration for some art as well, always a bonus. Can see what the Deadpool 2 guys saw in Julian Dennison that’s for sure, and of course Sam Neill was brilliant as well. Can’t be forgetting Taika Waititi either for directing it! Excellent job from all in my opinion :)

Acrylic on board

Whalesongs to round the week off (as usual).

Driven by my mishearing of something Dr. David Scheel was talking about regarding the octopus Heidi he kept in his home for a yearlong period... His documentary ‘Octopus: Making Contact’ is a lovely thing worth watching I should add!

9X12 Bristol board using fat tech pen/India ink and a # 3 tech marker.

Charcoal on Bristol mounted on board

Current events mean retreating into my sketchbook is the way of things today, until it blows over(ish, emphasis on the -ish).

Something simple, yet magical...definitely need to draw more kelpies here!

Been hillwalking a lot more than I used to, and it's starting to show itself in my doodles :)

An autogenerated Youtube playlist (that I’ve yet to listen to) prompted this malarkey... This narwhal needed a home too!

I do browse some weird things on places like Youtube, without a doubt! Definitely in the search of inspiration 9 out of 10 times though (as you can see)...

bright, hand drawn flowers in warm colors

Sawshark symphonies and cryptic sorts.

Inspired by the landscape of Cars Land and named for the Cozy Cone Hotel. If you know, you know.

Like Bruce from Finding Nemo, they intended on having fish tonight...they succeeded.

Saturday night I was watching a documentary and continued to draw the interviewer.

Another alien oddball (as per usual)!

A spot of midnight improvisation and general creative spontaneity.

Finished fairy sketch

Sleep well David Bowie, and thanks for all the inspiration! Saw this comment on one of Iggy Pop’s music videos via YouTube and had to create something based around it, spelling mistakes and all...

To be perfectly honest, the latest lockdown announcement here in Scotland was bound to influence my art in some form or another... Needless to say this is going to be one looooong winter, one that’ll have me blasting “Here Comes The Sun” by The Beatles once it ends, or at the very least stabilises.

Sketch of a fairy.

Charcoal on wood

What's in front of me. I had to use more than one color because it just didn't feel right only brown, or only green.
