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.

Keeping one's head above the water in times of crisis...

Cats, space, and the usuals.

Aaaaaaaaaand, September is here. Let's make this autumn a creative one...

Another episode of narwhal fever.

Recently rode my first (as an adult) Full Mile Without Stopping and dang it feels good

Definitely in need of an escape, methinks.

Island mentality.

Onwards to closure.

Kicking art blocks where it hurts, one step at a time.

Something simpler (on the surface at least).

A page from my sketchbook during my Foundation Diploma in Art & Design in London. Diluted ink is a great medium. It always gives this authentic look. I think I used colouring pencils below to give it a strong colourful look. Love this one.

Hey thanks past me

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

Blue moons and the usual loons.

The title for this one was inspired by a remark the DJ Marc Riley made on his BBC 6 Music show earlier in the week. Couldn’t resist getting inspired! As we self-isolate and/or minimise going out unless we feel the absolute need to, as Freddie of the Mercury once sang, “radio, someone still loves you ❤️”

Tonight’s tangent lead to this.

May any aliens watching us worthy folks take us somewhere not so disease-riddled.

Kicking things off with the new sketchbook! And what a time to do so... Coronavirus is rampant everywhere it seems, however big or small. If self-isolation (even for just a bit, wherever you are) is the way to combat this then I suggest making the most of this time. *Captain Obvious groove*

The final page in my current sketchbook! Stay tuned after the break folks.

For whenever you feel knocked down, but know you’ll be up again in no time at all.

...versus what? Who knows.

Something unicorn-shaped(ish).

Resting up before another big season starts!

New art supplies! Of course, I don’t need an excuse to get to work but if I had to pick a favourite then that’s my one, without a doubt.

When in doubt, add a narwhal.

I often have weird dreams that inspire my artwork, and that one I had last night where I took over a jungle (or was it a forest? I don’t know) sure got me inspired.

A creature of habit until the end, that's me.
