An autogenerated Youtube playlist (that I’ve yet to listen to) prompted this malarkey... This narwhal needed a home too!

As we approach the end of winter, who knows where we’ll end up next? Still cautiously optimistic here... As long as there’s stuff to inspire us all, it can’t be all that bad?

New sketchbook time! Had to throw in a shark. No idea why, just did :)

I do browse some weird things on places like Youtube, without a doubt! Definitely in the search of inspiration 9 out of 10 times though (as you can see)...

Repeated psych-folk listenings/last night’s drunken pretensions informed a misspelling of things or two...

Sawshark symphonies and cryptic sorts.

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

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

Another alien oddball (as per usual)!

I keep seeing the word 'binary' crop up a lot in various discourses I’ve caught a glance at recently, whether it pertains to discussions around things like cancel culture or countless other things too numerous to mention. Funny what the lack of a middle ground these days does to certain people, irrespective of their political/ethical viewpoints...

A spot of midnight improvisation and general creative spontaneity.

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...

Playing around with anagram generators for inspiration this time around, as you do.

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.

To be perfectly honest, the latest lockdown announcement here in Scotland was bound to influence my art in some form or another... Needless to say this is going to be one looooong winter, one that’ll have me blasting “Here Comes The Sun” by The Beatles once it ends, or at the very least stabilises.

I think I've used this festive hangover as an excuse for (what seems) a little too long now, hahahaha! Back to business...

Seals and clocks = an intriguing combo I’d say.

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!

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.

Keeping things together and setting records straight.

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

When you find a mondegreen in one of your favourite Magnetic Fields songs and it sets off your creativity... Can’t be only one mishearing things here? Stephin Merritt sure knew how to mumble back in the ‘90s, that’s for certain: https://youtu.be/UGNKhVJbDM8

Gone to Gallifrey.

Living in the moment...

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

Hoot-hoot and all that, hehehe.

Back to more surreal programming.

Possibly inspired by current events.

The race heats up!

Dump those dirty oranges, if you know what I mean (and I'm sure most of you do)...
