diary

Ballpoint pen drawing on some old diary pages

Part of my travelogue illustration diary. The attempt for trying to commit. Stripping yourself & make a story. Let's see how i can beat my own worst enemy: procrastinating.

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

It's a good day for a book diary

I always start packing by packing my books. For larger ones I love using twine. Moving soon. So tiring! https://www.instagram.com/p/Cvpt_F0udl8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Sometimes, I re-read books and they don't have the same impact as before. Sometimes, I re-read them and they hit me harder. Roadside picnic by Brothers Strugatsky made me cry. This is my favorite book by them, although I do so love Monday starts on Saturday. But this book! I wish more people would read it.

What else is new here?

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.

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!

Not as apocalyptic as it looks or sounds! Inspired by a dream I had about committing a social faux-pas of the worst kind you could imagine.

Last night's Wednesday wind-down.

It’s safe to say January feels like one of those 100 day months...

Something unicorn-shaped(ish).

Drawing with my non-Dominant hand. Cormorant sunning. The sight of these birds, regal and ridiculous at the same time , always lifts my spirit. https://www.instagram.com/p/CRmaOeAD0u_/?utm_medium=copy_link

Brambles are lovely to sit in amongst the bees. And also they make a good shelter from the rain. https://www.instagram.com/p/CSpMKfXr00y/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

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

Essential Wednesday winding down on my part.

Beginning. To understand what happened you should know two things. One. Marmoset monkeys love books. All sorts of books, but diaries and biographies are their favourites. https://www.instagram.com/p/CPrF1gFhEWI/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

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.

Landscapes too good for some.

Keep calm and carry on.

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

Make art, not war!

My process in a nutshell, more or less!

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

Continuing my prolific streak as of late, because why not?

Wednesday wind-down time! Took a wander to my local coffee shop and came back with this. A job well done I’d say :)

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

Tonight’s tangent lead to this.
