Whenever I’m channel surfing, I often find myself stumbling into a film midway through it’s running time, and tend to stick around if there’s elements that pique my curiosity and just catch my eye etc. My Girl 2, of all films, was one of them this time around. A line about “barbaric customs” or roundabouts prompted me to pick up my drawing kit...and here we are!

Pretty much what it says.

Midnight madness/fun with artwork titles...

Happy June one and all.

A spot of midnight improvisation and general creative spontaneity.

All hearts are good ones (let's hope).

In a funk, but getting out of it quick.

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

Fantasy (of the more pronounced variety) is the order of things here.

Saw this missing cat poster whilse out running errands the other day which started off with the sentence "Answers to Esme", and those words have been circling around in my head ever since. Naturally, the end product here had little to do with the finished artwork!

Essential quarantine creative goings-on.

A more unusual interpretation of the mermay theme some of us are fond of. Also, new sketchbook time is fast approaching!

One week on from Beltane Fire Festival 2025 and it stills feel surreal that’s it for another year, you know? It’ll be nice to get back to some semblance of normality/whatever… For now? Have a gar on me :-P :-)

Dinosaur doodling is the way of things today.

Caffeine rushes are essential to creativity (at least here!).

Been aching to draw one of these for a while now! Can’t knock goblin sharks, that’s for sure.

Rainy day creative goings-on.

I know nothing of the actress of the same name (although I do need to watch The Spirit Of The Beehive someday), but the words alone had “drawing title” written all over them, so yeah!

New sketchbook time! Onwards to new doodling-flavoured adventures... Keeping it simple to start things off (as is custom).

For all manner of mad monks.

Another bus doodle I started last night, paused on, and finished up the moment I woke up… typical Thursday, I suppose.

Current events mean retreating into my sketchbook is the way of things today, until it blows over(ish, emphasis on the -ish).

Rumblings and ramblings.

It’s a coffee and whale song kind of day (as per usual).

Sleep well David Bowie, and thanks for all the inspiration! Saw this comment on one of Iggy Pop’s music videos via YouTube and had to create something based around it, spelling mistakes and all...

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.

Like Bruce from Finding Nemo, they intended on having fish tonight...they succeeded.

The title comes from words I saw in a dream this weekend past. Chinese food before bed = interesting results for the sleepy mind.

Improvising a thing or two centred around krakens and all things cephalopod flavoured :)

Pink aliens in lieu of pink elephants here.
