pencil sketch

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

Sketchbook work...

As far as things that I can’t seem to shake off are concerned, it’s this fact that a place like Edinburgh where I live is akin to a village where everyone (artist folk in particular) seems to know everyone, and the patterns or quirks that emerge from this said thought process. In most collectives I’m a part of and/or are associated with, there’s what seems like an endless sense of crossover and overlap with fellow artists etc for lack of better words, which is lovely as it is insane... you know? All in all though, even if it drives me mad it does so in a strangely positive way and I’ve learned to live with that. So yeah, make of that what you will. :-)

Red chalk (sanguine) and white colored pencil on toned paper

New sketchbook time again? That it is. Credit to one of my workmates for inspiring the title here, hehehehe. It's been a busy few days here at Bleu HQ... '^^ :-)

The first page of my sketchbook #3. Akiyo Noguchi - a japanese rock climber, bronze medalist of 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

A representation of a timeline of events that took place during the winter holiday.

Taken me a while to finish this one - not feeling very focused lately. Also, I restricted myself to using Bic’s yellow ink, which is way more vibrant than the cheap 10-colour ink click pens that I usually use.

One of my first attempts at "urban" sketching, from photo reference. Watercolour pencils and ink.

Words of wisdom that a friend came out with during a Lord Of The Rings Extended Editions film night over the weekend jumpstarted my creative juices this time around. :-)

Another seal of approval? *ba-dum-tss*

Sharks in questioning waters.

Having a go at something other than narwhals and belugas today... bowhead whales namely! I really like how this one turned out. :-)

It's a sperm whale and underground hip-hop kind of day in my world right now.

Being autistic and neurodivergent means I’m liable to mishear things quite a bit, especially when watching films where the sound mixing is utter shite (thanks sensory differences!). On that note, there’s a bit towards the end of Alien where Parker shouts “get out of the room” which I always interpreted as “get ready to roll” for years on end. Only recently did I realise how wrong I was! Considering it was the final act of the film, I guess I can’t be blamed for assuming as such, right? If you know, you know as they say...
