diary

The end of one sketchbook and journey, with another to begin shortly!

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!

Whale, shark or warrior-esque dolphin? Heck, even I’m not too sure... This one turned out well and that’s what matters most, so enjoy!

Doodle time strikes again!

A daze in the life.

Gone to Gallifrey.

Day of the Dead vibes all around here!

More toffee tinted, if anything.

Pink aliens in lieu of pink elephants here.

Midnight madness/fun with artwork titles...

Never dumb down for the dumbed down folks.

Surreal folks in surreal worlds.

And that finishes things off with my current sketchbook! Here's to what the next one brings :)

A couple of beers, thoughts in my head about lockdown easing and Radiohead lingering in the background while I work = stuff like this.

Cats, space, and the usuals.

Definitely in need of an escape, methinks.

Island mentality.

Something simpler (on the surface at least).

Inspired by reading a subreddit discussing the early works of Animal Collective.

Resting up before another big season starts!

When in doubt, add a narwhal.

Leave the light on for us Scottish folks Europe, thank you!

Essential Wednesday winding down on my part.

Make art, not war!

I often hear music in my dreams. In this case, it was ‘Babylon’ by Oneohtrix Point Never (a.k.a. Daniel Lopatin, for those unaware). I had to respond in the best way possible of course!

Using an old blank work diary as a sketchbook. This piece is mostly done in 2B & 6B graphite pencil with outlines in black ink.

This artwork is part of my ongoing visual diary of factory life—small, overlooked corners turned into honest moments. “Trash Talk” sits right between humor and grit… a reminder that even the most mundane places have something to say.

Colin Firth is an amazing actor who has become an icon of films such as A Single Man, Bridget Jones' Diary, and Kingsman: The Secret Service!
