Adapted from a photo of myself and my two sons. Background is odds and ends

Love cartoon art-comics, panels, editorial. I am heavily influenced by Mad Magazine

Still learning acrylic markers

Among other things, getting more drawing done and being prolific as fook? Here’s hoping that’s the case this year, today at least has been good for that!

“By all means grow old, but don’t mature. Remain childlike, retain wonder, the ability to be flabbergasted by something.” - Billy Connolly. Happy new year Doodle addicts!

Says it all I suppose?

The start of a new project drawing and painting plants in water colours. These leaves are from a Wattle also called an Acacia in the nearby forest.

I finally had time to sit down to do this one for a friend. She owns a pizza shop and asked for something to hang in the place.

Monday motivation!

I have a certain energy that runs through me, almost like a current. Balancing this energy can be quite a challenge, but I have found that meditation helps me to find my center. I like to quiet the noise around me and focus on my inner truth. Sometimes, I begin my meditation with my eyes closed, allowing my emotions to guide me in sketching out my experiences. This helps me to open up my channels of creativity, which I am currently using to work on my upcoming novel. I can't reveal too much about it yet, but I hope you will enjoy the sneak peeks I'll be sharing as I work toward completion.

The solar eclipse was incredible for me on many levels ~ In deep mediation the movement of the solar eclipse inspired me, grounded me and offered an intense level of focus and internal balance of the feminine and masculine within us all ~ Parts of this ongoing collage has been done with the left hand. Grounding and clearing tools I like to use: Florida water, Sage ash, Palo ash (all ethically sourced and pure)

Whales in space yet again, because why ever not?

Notes from an early teaching moment.

Tidbits of things overheard in the pub earlier this week when I was short of inspiration = this.

Inspired by a recent experience I had during a trip to the bank, and just reflection on “masks” we wear in general I suppose.

Was initially going to try coffee painting with this one, but that clearly wasn’t happening... Hence the mentioning of divorce here, it being my expectations being split from the reality this time around. Still, things worked out in the end!

An exercise in observation - quick sketch. I was told that if I made a drawing a day for 365 days, that in a year, I might have a couple nice drawings.

I generally make marks on something every day, but I'm really TRYING to do it purposefully in one single journal at a time. I also have super ADHD, which means I pretty much never go up to my actual studio and usually only use what's out on my desk, because out-of-sight-out-of-mind.

Rainy days = a perfect excuse for a shedload of coffee and drawing to indulge in. :) Occurs to me I did one with the title “Laurel Weaver” close to four years ago. Not much else connects the two beyond the title or does it? I don’t know... Whatever the case, I fancied recycling and revisiting this idea somehow. Enjoy!

This alien was going to destroy earth but fell in love with cats.

This star is dying, but had a good run of several million years. Soon it will share its knowledge.

Done with Procreate, a joyful pink Easter bunny, especially for children and all children at heart.

Was itching to play along with the “Draw Me A Robot” challenge for a while now! Not much I can say about this, pretty spontaneous to say the least... Definitely wanted to add some sort of low fidelity edge to things though.

Back to more surreal programming.

Trying to doodle my way through a Disney post-it note pad pre-printed with Mickey's face and ears.
