Inspired by Sara Berrenson and her book on how to Watercolor Flowers.

Inspired by a recent experience I had during a trip to the bank, and just reflection on “masks” we wear in general I suppose.

I keep coming back to this Vice headline I saw and took a screenshot of this time last week, which inspired the title of this piece. Seems like a relevant metaphor to me (and others I know) for so many reasons right now! Thankfully nothing too traumatic in my case...

Acrylic on canvas inspired by the latest edition of the Surfers Journal.

Shep is a superhero that hasn’t made it to the screen yet. Inspired by my own shepherd. He usually just stands in front of the screen.

Reading about the Winter Olympics a few weeks ago inspired this piece. There are roughly 8 layers on here to build up the color.

Look familiar? This drawing was inspired by the film Hellraiser.

pinwheel patchwork inspired by a sleeping bag I had a long time ago

Ravenstag sketch inspired by the Hannibal series

This piece is inspired by Mental Health Awareness Week that’s just left us. Belated and as cryptic as things might be (as usual) here in Bleu’s world, better late to the party than never right?

Inspired by Stephen Gammell and Scary Stories to Tell in The Dark. 1. Graphite Powder 2. Charcoal 3. Charcoal Powder 4. Kneaded Eraser 5. Electric Eraser

This is another Stephen Gammell inspired drawing. Done with graphite, charcoal, kneeded eraser and whiteout. It ain't perfect but we gettin there!

This is inspired from the the soundtrack to Gladator the film. Its about how most people will end up in some kind of Colosseum, metaphorically speaking. Life will throw at us many problems. A sketch for a body of work. The black cross is a sword buried in the ground. Maybe its a symbol of peace.

I was inspired to do this after seeing a work in a Dk art book.This is about the relationship I had in the past with my doctors. Today, I have moved past the fighting and I work with these people.

Man compared to nature. Inspired from the Irish countryside.

Inspired by the landscape of Cars Land and named for the Cozy Cone Hotel. If you know, you know.

Watercolor and Graphite art inspired by Stephen Gammell.

A doodle inspired by the traditional batik design. Drawn on ipad using adobe fresco

dark + bright damask-inspired pattern

Possibly inspired by current events.

Yesterday, I was drawing during the Metropolitan Opera's daily streaming. My husband, Mike came by and looked dumbfounded. "Samson and Delilah inspired THIS subject matter?" Walked off shaking his head. We have a good laugh!

A fairly special one for me this week, as today’s post is inspired by what would have been the time of Beltane celebrations. As it is, we celebrated at home in our own little ways, and in the case of myself indulging in my usual habits! Drinking and of course drawing, the usual stuff...

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

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 ❤️”

I often have weird dreams that inspire my artwork, and that one I had last night where I took over a jungle (or was it a forest? I don’t know) sure got me inspired.

Friday nights make good gig nights. This was inspired by one such event that happened not too long ago. :)

Inspired by a very drum and music heavy weekend that's just left us. Cracking times had by all I'd say!
