Reflecting on the current pandemic, only to realise things this time last year gave plenty of us something to gripe about too... How times seemed simpler then.

Narwhals, washi tape, patterns galore...or as I like to call it, a standard Friday night.

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!

Eyes meeting trees, and a hint of surveillance.

Onwards to closure.

Midnight flavoured motivation.

An ode to the seas, sailing and other malarkey relating to that theme.

For things that go bump in the night (and day).

Rainy day creative goings-on.

New art supplies = the best excuse to get creative! Also, narwhals.

For all manner of mad monks.

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

No idea what squid radio images look like, but here's something close.

Inspired by allsorts, as always :)

Just keep embracing your inner madness folks!

Essential quarantine creative goings-on.

This just happened, and that's all I can say really.

This time last year I was in the midst of starting off my (then) new sketchbook... And what do I find myself doing tonight? Sticking to the same script with yet another one, that’s what!

It's all about masks and disguises.

Monday motivation...of a sorts (it's technically Tuesday on my side of the pond, but whatever).

Pretty much what it says.

Fun little fact: The anglerfish belongs to the teleost order known as Lophiiformes. See what I did here?

Once the curve flattens and we can all go about our usual businesses without potentially killing one another, let’s not forget all the good habits and so on we’ve picked up from staying the feck at home! Some sort of a summer will come, rest assured.

Blue moons and the usual loons.

Kicking things off with the new sketchbook! And what a time to do so... Coronavirus is rampant everywhere it seems, however big or small. If self-isolation (even for just a bit, wherever you are) is the way to combat this then I suggest making the most of this time. *Captain Obvious groove*

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

I stared and stared at her until I had stared her into little pieces and I thought, you're big and scraggy like a carthorse and nobody can hunt for you in the grass and you couldn't hide anywhere because you can be seen the whole time and you can't surprise anybody and make them feel good! You have completely spoilt our games for no reason because you can't play games yourself! O alas and alack! No one wants your presents. He doesn't want them! You're nobody's surprise, and you can't understand because you're not an artist! And so I went a little closer and humiliated her by saying the most terrible thing of all : amateur! You're an amateur! You're not a real artist! - Sculptor's Daughter by Tove Jansson #dailydrawing #tovejansson

MY NEURO~ART DDRAWING TO KEEP ME A BIT GROUNDED

Sketch today, cleanup and color tomorrow? Translating Jim Henson's crazy detailed puppets from the Dark Crystal into what I feel would be an appropriate illustrative style for 2D was a lot of fun, and I might fiddle around more with it. Character is an OC Skeksis with the title of Therapist/Psychologist, so the little designs on his jacket are supposed to represent neuron synapses and the back... thing (which you can't see from this angle) would look like a brain.
