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!

Inktober 14 - Invocation :) That's week two done! Even though I won't finish by the end of October, I'm gonna try to finish the prompt list!

Inktober 10 - Ancient runes

Caveman

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

Sometimes, my demons inspire me in a weird way.

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.

Inktober 12 - Potion

Inktober 11 - Crystals

My process in a nutshell, more or less!

The sketchbook doodle that turned into something special. To this day, it’s still one of my favourite drawings. Pencil, Charcoal Pencil, Pastel Pencils on 9” x 12” Strathmore Archival Sketchbook Paper.

My little fun series of everyday food during quarantine just to make it more cosmic ;) This one sketch a day approach helps with my long break in drawings! :) Sketchbook, coffee and ink.

One of my pen and ink drawings on antique paper. 6"x7"

This is one of my recent drawings. It was fun to make details out of light and shadow.

This is how I eat sushi

A close friend recently lost their family pet, Joey. As a tribute gift, I did his portrait. I usually just draw people, so this presented quite the challenge for me. I have never attempted to draw animals/pets. Bic4 Ballpoint Pen, Sanrio Novelty 10 Colour Ballpoint Pen on Archival 8.5" x 11" paper

An image for an upcoming film. Stay tuned for more details. Ink and gouache on paper. A3. For Sale.

Part of a series of drawings following characters on a journey through strange and chaotic zones of a gigantic metropolis. I really enjoyed using the Sakura brush pen for this one.

Searching for fortune and glory, Tex Puff instead discovered mallowlithic drawings. Small 8x8 acrylic painting from last year.

A couple of winter tree drawings.

This image was created to be a limited print to go along with my new book, 10 Years of Daily Drawings.

Seemingly trapped indoors and inside your head indefinitely, the possibility of living a normal life after COVID seems like a fevered dream. Still one of my favourite drawings from 2020 and a technique breakthrough. Ballpoint Pen on Archival 8.5" x 11" paper

The one subject that I don’t like to draw, so I have to force myself to draw them. Whenever I do draw them, they end up looking weird.

I would have to say that my headphones are my constant companion. Music drives my working day.

Imagining a better future in the time of COVID isolation seems like a fevered dream. Bic4 Ballpoint Pen, Sanrio Novelty 10 Colour Ballpoint Pen on Archival 8.5" x 11" paper

Bic4 Ballpoint Pen, Sanrio Novelty 10 Colour Ballpoint Pen on Archival 8.5" x 11" paper. A breakdown of the Bic4 pen and No-name 10 colour pen layering that I’ve used. Drawing in a single direction instead of using back-and-forth movement alleviates some of the blotching that happens when using ballpoint pens. The back-and-forth method usually deposits the gunk that builds up on the tip of the ballpoint, smearing them in unexpected and unfortunate places on the drawing. When using the back-and-forth method, I usually have a napkin handy in order to clean the tip of the pen. Model: Meadhbh (Maeve)
