Random robot with a silver sharpie

Watercolour painting of a Prickly Hakea. I started drawing different plants last month from the area where I live. This month I am turning them into watercolours, with the Hakea being one of the first.

This Banksia nut was found in southern Western Australia, one of the many varieties of Banksia found in Australia.

A whimsical yet haunting reflection on the passage of time, From Time to Time imagines a fragile machine built to bend reality itself. The “Tempus Machina” stands as both invention and relic — humming with promise but tethered by a frayed cord and a warning: Watch Your Step. The cracked wall, warped floorboards, and distorted clock hint that tampering with time comes at a cost. Blending humor, nostalgia, and existential tension, Patmore’s work transforms a steampunk curiosity into a metaphor for our human impulse to repair, rewind, and relive what’s already slipping away.

my memory is my recent character i made so far inspired by serial experiment lain. my memory is partially self projection. a computer scientist who lost a student he was close with and saw them as their own spent 20 years creating a new project to commemorate his former student, emory. after 20 years, the project was a success, a humanoid machine has emory's memories stored in her and everything feels like deja vu for my memory. a confused and curious my memory must learn to function in society as a robot.

Who is Elliot Alderson?

Doodling in a sketchbook is very stress-relieving and calming. I recommend it to everyone :) You don't need any artistic skills. All you need is paper and a pen :) Or a sketchbook and a fountain pen with purple ink, as in my case.

Daily drawing is a super important artist's habit. Even 2-3 minutes is enough to build it into the everyday routine. Happy drawing!

Decorative botanical illustration of violet (pansy) in a new sketchbook :)

A reminder from (and for) me to you that pain is temporary.

The time that blends from afternoon to evening, always brings out an array of colors. This is one imagination of it.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, this is just a li'l doodle on an ipad pro, I was just testing out pen pressure and stuff, I usually use a Wacom for my art though. This was made on Aggie.io, I couldn't be bothered to get an art software for the ipad.

My first botanical illustration. Romulea rosea is a small member of the iris family indigenous to the fynbos biome here in South Africa. Oil paint on canvas. A4 size.

Summer came early for us this year. This little creature visited my garden and couldn't help but doodle him!

Some orchid sketches that I did the last three days.

A floral illustration I did on a wooden canvas with posca paint pens took a minute to do but love how it came out

Bluebot, acrylic on canvas, 10" x 8"

Pen on paper drawing of a Bull Banksia candle.

Banksia grandis is a banksia that is of medium height with large candles. The eyes contain seeds that come out with fire.

The nearby pine tree has dropped quite a few pine cones, all in different states of decay. I enjoy looking at the different shapes, sizes and colours of each cone, each with its unknown story.

A experimental combination of abstract, geometric lines with organic shapes of gum leaves. Pen, watercolour and masking fluid.

Apparently there is a city in China that is known as the City of Peony. Visiting is definitely on my bucket list.

Drawing trees and other landscape elements was my daily routine for the last two months. For two months, I've been developing my style. It's essential to create consistently in one style for a long time. It's the way you get to know better: - yourself, - what you like, - what you enjoy.

Testing my new fountain pen. Haven't used one since I was a teenager

This is only the second time I've done pixel art. (both times were today) This is based on my own hand, which has rather stubby fingers, but I added some lighter touches that make it more feminine than my own. (I rather like my black nails, thank you very much)
