Enlightenment works in mysterious ways.

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!

Breaking into July the way I know best.

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

An exercise in the art of anguish languish.

Onwards to closure.

Much ado about the bullshit of relationships.

It's all about masks and disguises.

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

Life in lockdown/business as always.

Island mentality.

Hoot-hoot and all that, hehehe.

Inspired by allsorts, as always :)

Back to more surreal programming.

Day of the Dead vibes all around here!

Visual jamming, nothing new here! Also, hello February.

This theme describe well how my Xocolatl, born and raised near the equateur, feel about European winter. She doesn't quite care for it. (She is a jaguar/peacock centaur. Her pet is an inverted griffon, front of a cat, backside of a hen. Her name is Nugget.)

Apparently, Blixa Bargeld of Einsturzende Neubaten and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds fame actually did this to his school back when he was a lad! I needed an idea for a convoluted weird-as-they-come title, and after reading that story I knew I had something, heheheh :)

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

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

As it says!

Aliens seeking company and respite...

Aaaaaaaaaand, September is here. Let's make this autumn a creative one...

Just keep embracing your inner madness folks!

*Irn-Bru vibes a go-go here* As the wee small hours approach, I finally get round to testing the Washi tape I picked up last Sunday...

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

Finally got round to watching Hunt For The Wilderpeople, after eons of procrastinating over doing so, and was well chuffed at how great it was! Gave me some much needed inspiration for some art as well, always a bonus. Can see what the Deadpool 2 guys saw in Julian Dennison that’s for sure, and of course Sam Neill was brilliant as well. Can’t be forgetting Taika Waititi either for directing it! Excellent job from all in my opinion :)

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!

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

Pretty much what it says.
