The sequel to “Another Fine Soul Lost To Parenthood”.

It seems like most people I know these days are starting families, so I figured I'd respond in the way I know best...

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

I've been practicing drawing portraits for a few days now. This is from a session I did over lunch where I was just messing around trying a few different things.

Upon looking out...the last time...

Inktober “Husky.” I’ve lost track of the days at this point, so I'll just Inktober through November.

Says it all and yet, nothing.

The start of some waves and clouds. A little too symmetrical for me, I need to work through it a little more.

Portrait practice last night as I was sitting on the porch.

Art therapy is good therapy.

Pen drawings of some cat pictures

Working on this save the date makes me super happy.

A beer label I made. Cheers!

The hangover song, heheheh.

Quiet nights in = essential for crafting new ideas...

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?

Micron pen and colored pencil on paper

I think I'm getting the hang of painting florals with gouache. It helped to decide on a palette and pre-mix the colors.

An ode to one more fresh start.

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!

Ideas, ideas everywhere... *suddenly realises he needs to buy another sketchbook*

Willingly burrows “Ian”...

I helped create the Island in the Sun can for Conshohocken Brewing Company a couple years back. They release it every year in the summer and I drew this up to celebrate the re-release this year!

With thanks (again) to endless listens of Devendra Banhart and other awesome folk like himself...heheh.

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.
