I generally make marks on something every day, but I'm really TRYING to do it purposefully in one single journal at a time. I also have super ADHD, which means I pretty much never go up to my actual studio and usually only use what's out on my desk, because out-of-sight-out-of-mind.

And that concludes another sketchbook! New one incoming...

Collage time! What else is new, eh?

Rainy days = a perfect excuse for a shedload of coffee and drawing to indulge in. :) Occurs to me I did one with the title “Laurel Weaver” close to four years ago. Not much else connects the two beyond the title or does it? I don’t know... Whatever the case, I fancied recycling and revisiting this idea somehow. Enjoy!

“The less you know about me the more interesting it will be to watch me do what I do.” - Philip Seymour Hoffman.

I do generally put pen (or some kind of tool), to paper (or some kind of surface), every day, but I'm really TRYING to do it purposefully in one singular location (journal). Here is a successful attempt from that particular day. I'm also super lazy, which means I never go up to my actual studio and only use what's out on my computer desk. (Including the "waste" page because I often like it as much/more.)

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

Thank the maker for weekends past, hangovers and random observations that inspire.

What happens if you really only look in the mirror, and not at the paper?

New sketchbook time :)

He was aggressive.

Shark time again.

Cryptically does it... A narwhal swims around who-knows-what-it-all-means.

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

New art supplies! Of course, I don’t need an excuse to get to work but if I had to pick a favourite then that’s my one, without a doubt.

I often have weird dreams that inspire my artwork, and that one I had last night where I took over a jungle (or was it a forest? I don’t know) sure got me inspired.

A creature of habit until the end, that's me.

A tribute to The Fall and the genius of Mark E. Smith. Not much I can really add to that!

Inktober 7 - Candles. That's week one done! Only 24 prompts left to go :P

I'm trying to decide between color or black and white for this beach scene that will have layered bright flowers.

I do like a good mondegreen, that much is true. See the radio edit of Royksopp’s ‘Remind Me’ for more details (I might not be mishearing the lyrics, but it’s still quite the earworm): https://youtu.be/XEQcWbbkyPY

What else is new here?

I'm playing around with a new color palette on this one. I may try a few now that I know about the recolor tool in illustrator!

I'm making an effort to finish what I start in my sketchbook.

The kids jump, and call, and send koo wees up to the koo wee sky! When I draw happy characters like this I find myself smiling and I don't even realize it. I hope that happiness comes through in the art. - From "Graham's Up the Tree"

So Mum goes for the phone and these guys slip out the door to see what Graham is doing up in the tree... I can't believe they'd just leave their food behind like that. I mean... look at it. Mmm.

I'm great at doing the prep work for a big project. But Wrecks is always there to remind me how anxiety inducing a project of that scale is. So, he throws me into another one I'm not prepared for.

It’s the stoner’s holiday today (4/20) so while I don’t partake in that kind of thing personally, am I going to make use of a pun for a drawing title regardless? Yes, yes I am… xD
