Surreal folks in surreal worlds.

Shark time again.

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

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.

Lazy Sunday afternoons and all things Beatles influenced...

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 one's head above the water in times of crisis...

Narwhals it seems, and I’m sure I’ve said this before, are a perfect remedy for art blocks I'd say. Wasn’t going anywhere last night, that is until I gave things another go and this fellow here saved the day!

More toffee tinted, if anything.

As another Wednesday winds down, my creativity has other ideas...

Been hillwalking a lot more than I used to, and it's starting to show itself in my doodles :)

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...

Living in the moment...

Something simple, yet magical...definitely need to draw more kelpies here!

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

Definitely in need of an escape, methinks.

Romantic birds and their narwhal pals.

Sawshark symphonies and cryptic sorts.

Cats, space, and the usuals.

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

Possibly inspired by current events.

Thinking ahead to loosening restrictions here in Scotland, one more day to go...

I know there’s probably a few decent folks worth voting for come the general election here in Scotland I’ll settle on, though for the most part the loudest mouthpieces seem to just scream ‘bell-end’ to me... I was playing around with Google Translate and various sentences I’d jotted down, and opted to go with the closest approximation from English into German for ‘I’m voting for Muppets’, which is 'Ich stimme fur Muppets'. ‘Ich stimme’ read to me as ‘itch stim’ for whatever reason (anglophone and neurodivergent here), which seems rather fitting as the thought of the worst candidates getting in is liable to have us all come out in stress rashes, am I right?

Some tiger shark love.

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

I’m coming out of another one of those periods where I’ve drew or doodled very little (all the other projects on the go until now!), but as always I got my mojo back in the nick of time, it seems. :) Same old stuff here for now!

August it seems brings out the sluggish side of me...whatever the case, I'm back at it for now folks! :)

Had to squeeze in some drawing earlier on yesterday before editing the photos I captured at Friday night’s gig with Ozric Tentacles and friends. Fantastic stuff that was!

Currently reading ‘Nina Simone’s Gum’ by Warren Ellis at long last. What a phenomenal bit of work this is, and inspiring to boot most importantly as you can see. Thanks for sharing your stories with us all Warren!
