Inspired by things to come.

The title comes from words I saw in a dream this weekend past. Chinese food before bed = interesting results for the sleepy mind.

And into 2023 we are! Happy new year folks. :-)

And that’s the last drawing of the year! See you on the other side my friends :-)

Something, something, other.

WHATS INSIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????????????????????????????????

Introducing the whale shark into my creative universe. :-)

Well well, what do we have here?

Thar she blows, as they say :-P

Kept myself occupied during a quiet day at work earlier by getting a head-start on things here, and my word it was quiet! Well...ish (towards the end that is).

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.

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 whole spread, as sometimes I like the "waste" page most.

A watercolor base with a Pentel brush pen over that.

Narwhals and musicality collides in a tale of who-knows-what.

An ode to the seas, sailing and other malarkey relating to that theme.

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

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

This just happened, and that's all I can say really.

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!

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

Pretty much what it says.

Tuesday night (or is Wednesday morning?) is alright for improvising, that much is true.

In the immortal words of Jim Carrey...ssssssssssmokin'!

The word “backwards” in reverse would sound, I’m fairly certain, like something along the lines of ‘straw cab’ I’m presuming? Anyway, that was what randomly prompted me today to get cracking on with some art, heheheh.

Fun little fact: The anglerfish belongs to the teleost order known as Lophiiformes. See what I did here?

Kicking things off with the new sketchbook! And what a time to do so... Coronavirus is rampant everywhere it seems, however big or small. If self-isolation (even for just a bit, wherever you are) is the way to combat this then I suggest making the most of this time. *Captain Obvious groove*

I've been working on portraits so much that it's taken up most of my drawing time. I miss the simpler things like trees and mountains so today at lunch I drew this tree.
