go

Pastel and gouache on wood

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?

Lazy Sunday afternoons and all things Beatles influenced...

I love the show Breaking Bad, and rewatch watch it a lot. I noticed the other night Saul said this to Walt and I immediately got out my iPad and started in on the letters.

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

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!

Improvising a thing or two centred around krakens and all things cephalopod flavoured :)

Whenever I think of tags and/or labels for people, be it things like ‘gammons’ or ‘snowflakes’ et al, narrowing it down to a single person who represents that group is always running a fool’s errand in my opinion.

This line from the Stephin Merritt episode of the 'She's A Talker' podcast (referring to Stephen Sondheim plot-lines) got my imagination ticking in overdrive

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

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

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.

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 couple of octopuses I drew that are going to get some color soon.

brown and blue floral pattern

Sometimes the flow of curved lines are what I feel good to me. I just let the pen go.

bright, warm colored floral pattern

Graphite and digital

Something about mermaids today! Got to love those fishy tailed sorts. :)

I've been going through a kick lately and "finding" art in watercolor blobs.

Gouache bouquet

Kitty in a red chair.

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

Digital painting

Rainy day creative goings-on.

For all manner of mad monks.

I had some family at my house this week and my niece kept wanting to play my ukulele, only she called it "kookulele". It made me laugh every time and in the morning before they got up I sketched this real quick to remind me of it.
