The Tycoon

What next, this whale wonders…

A week on from Artemis II coming back to Earth from the moon and only now do I do a proper lunar themed tribute to it all! It also gave me an excuse to buy another Palm Pals plush, so happy days to that :-)

And that’s a wrap from this current sketchbook! Closing things with some Peter Falk wisdom I’ve shared before, I think… “My idea of Heaven is to wake up, have a good breakfast, and spend the rest of the day drawing.”

The things you overhear on the radio that get you to work…

Narwhals in surreal lands… what else?

Must be that time again?

Finally indulging in the Knuckles mini-series over on Paramount Plus! I’m only two years late to that party, hahaha :-D It’s influencing my creativity as you can see…

What's on the surface can be misleading.

“I'd never just want to do what everybody else did. I'd be contributing to the sameness of everything." - Captain Beefheart.

It’s another moon and narwhal piece… what do you expect? It’s me :-P

Maybe I'll be mature enough one day to handle that sentence.

Ink on black

It is what it always is.

A sculpture of what dance looked like for me as a child in the late 1960s

Witch-crafty as always!

I've burned through 6 weeks straight of non-stop drawing. I think it means I'm healing up from a painful relationship I needed to end. Sometimes we attract someone due to a perceived chemistry. Then one day we wake up and realize that chemistry is acid and this isn't actually love. This is a distortion. And I don't need to walk through this pain anymore. I've actually grown enough to recognize that being alone, without pain, is a thousand times better than being with someone who refuses to recognize their behavior. Some people have no idea that words can do much more damage than a weapon. Words can kill. If you can't control your tongue, then don't speak. Make this a rule for your life if you care for someone.

And that concludes another sketchbook, rather quickly too…

No idea, just something that came to mind

I get to marry by best friend, Lindsey tomorrow. I spent a year and a half writing and drawing my very first comic book. It was about our life together and how I proposed to her. This strip is an excerpt from that comic.

Introducing “Home Is Where Your Head’s At” :-) Starting a new sketchbook as we leave the summer and head into the autumn again… with things like Halloween and Samhuinn rearing their heads it’s liable to sway what goes on here as it always does!

Telegraph. And thats Morse code for "DAT Comic"

Skyscraper building that illustrates industry.

Scroll down for what prompted me this time around… as per usual I went quickly off-topic, can’t you tell?

Pretty much what it says on the tin!

Reflecting on catching up (albeit briefly) with old friends despite the bleak circumstances that brought us back together…

I woke up at 5am(ish) last Sunday and not settling back to rest, I switched my radio on and hoped for the best. Next thing I know I’m half awake listening to one of Yo La Tengo’s more drone oriented songs. The track itself was 8 minutes long but felt longer… of course, this gave me ideas. What do you expect?
