hi

Quick pen & ink sketchbook doodle.

Hope everything gets better.

i was messin around with a more "painterly technique"

Two hour sketch that will be presented in my first personal exhibition ❤

Graphite on paper.

Mixed media on paper

When you imagine cute-faces on objects & just need to doodle them!

Spooky whale time! And a touch of Mark Lanegan flavoured listening material also...

Taking a break from photo editing to get creative in other areas... Over the Beltane weekend, my girlfriend and I watched the British dub of Urusei Yatsura over on YouTube. Yes, I assure anyone not aware, such a thing exists and my word is it hilarious (but not for the easily offended! Oh and while, I'm here, may the 4th be with you :-)

Post-work coffee shop doodling time!

I've been nothing but desert scenes lately. Can't get it out of my head.

A cartoon eagle reclines in a bathtub filled with bubbles, looking calm and relaxed. The words 'Wind Down' are creatively placed above the bathtub.

Marker and fineliner in marker sketchbook.

Cauldrene's friend Spooker finds himself in scary trouble.

Original painting created by HEL MORT®, Mixed Media on Aluminium.

At least Timothy has his priorities. See any familiar names on his list? ;)

I felt like sketching a four legged creature. then I saw a beautiful reference photo of a chameleon. I had to try illustrating it!

Another work created in Lockdown in Berlin. Drawn on a piece of drafting paper from an ingenieering student in Leipzig, 1923. Like the cellar it was found in, it expresses a longing to be outside. A longing to feel of use, a job to go to or someone to visit. It is confusion and patience drawn out thin and ready to snap at any moment.

Personally, I like these designs way better than the ones I made first. Drawn with FireAlpaca.

Originally made by "anarack Warriors" on YouTube, titled "daves night shift (DSAF sfm)". Just a title card. Drawn with FireAlpaca.

Did your cat do this during the pandemic? I have read the stories online! It's a T.P. massacre here for sure! R.I.P. T.P.! Check out the rest of my Inktober posts on IG: @dittofunkysketch123 :D And now I have some of these illustrations on teepublic! Search under 'sketchcadet'! :D

Imagining I can see color in a very gray Chicago.

This is a painting done in acrylic.

I have had an ongoing project called Hybrid Mythologies. Inspired by stories and mythological creatures, tales from different traditions and parts of the world, I have been playing with emergent stories, characters and creatures that incorporate different elements. It is really a kind of spontaneous, intuitive journey and play of associations - oftentimes surprising to myself in what emerges. This year I am planning to publish an artbook entitled Hybrid Mythologies and if it all goes according to plan, it should be done some time in May. I will post process from this book.

butterflies # ????? : two holly blues. This was a hard one and worthy of an art block with top and bottom wings distinguishing the species, composition and pose was almost impossible. Cue two of the Holly Blues! :)

They tend to be, well most of the time...

Whale songs in space time? Indeed it is.

Another assembly, inspired by Japanese ASMR videos my girlfriend and I love to binge watch. :-)
