Named for my feisty red-headed grandson. Like Mr. Heat Miser from the classic Rudolph movie.

The title says it all.

At the end of all this self-isolation, I have no doubt folks will be as hungry as that Dalmatian pupper I named this piece after. Hungry for some actual social interaction in our cases, that is...

“Hikyaku - literally "fleet feet" or "flying feet." These running messengers played a critical role in delivering items and messages, given that in Japan's mountainous terrain, other modes of transportation, like horses or carriages, weren't very practical.”

All manner of quirky looking animals on some safari in the deep sea.

This rhino monster is ready for her date.

April 7th is my birthday. The day has been usually a low-key affair, with exceptions here and there over the years. I spent it keeping busy and creative, as is custom most days whenever I'm not out working or socialising. Roll on 27!

Always a weirdly beautiful moment when you butcher your spelling momentarily, only to discover you’ve inadvertently found the very artwork title for you were looking for...hehehe.

In the spring and summer where I work we have "Yacht Rock Friday" and even though everyone is home now, it's still playing on my speakers.

Goodbye to one month, and hello to all manner of April foolery.

Inspired by reading a subreddit discussing the early works of Animal Collective.

This fish swam through a portal and witnessed the meaning of everything.

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

Enlightenment works in mysterious ways.

What it says on the tin, as per usual.

Used my copics to color the released page! Really relaxing :)

Palette Toad makes a colorful mess wherever she goes.

Once the curve flattens and we can all go about our usual businesses without potentially killing one another, let’s not forget all the good habits and so on we’ve picked up from staying the feck at home! Some sort of a summer will come, rest assured.

Blue moons and the usual loons.

Alien tourist wears the perfect disguise and goes undetected.

The title for this one was inspired by a remark the DJ Marc Riley made on his BBC 6 Music show earlier in the week. Couldn’t resist getting inspired! As we self-isolate and/or minimise going out unless we feel the absolute need to, as Freddie of the Mercury once sang, “radio, someone still loves you ❤️”

Blind date success when it's this guy!

Frog Monster on a cat moments before he was bucked off.

Tonight’s tangent lead to this.

May any aliens watching us worthy folks take us somewhere not so disease-riddled.

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*
