Seals and clocks = an intriguing combo I’d say.

Whenever I’m channel surfing, I often find myself stumbling into a film midway through it’s running time, and tend to stick around if there’s elements that pique my curiosity and just catch my eye etc. My Girl 2, of all films, was one of them this time around. A line about “barbaric customs” or roundabouts prompted me to pick up my drawing kit...and here we are!

Reflecting on the current pandemic, only to realise things this time last year gave plenty of us something to gripe about too... How times seemed simpler then.

Keeping things together and setting records straight.

Narwhals, washi tape, patterns galore...or as I like to call it, a standard Friday night.

Hoot-hoot and all that, hehehe.

Back to more surreal programming.

Possibly inspired by current events.

Time and space adventurings.

Something about mermaids today! Got to love those fishy tailed sorts. :)

Rainy day assemblages.

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!

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

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.

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 ❤️”

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*

The final page in my current sketchbook! Stay tuned after the break folks.

For whenever you feel knocked down, but know you’ll be up again in no time at all.

...versus what? Who knows.

Something unicorn-shaped(ish).

Resting up before another big season starts!

New art supplies! Of course, I don’t need an excuse to get to work but if I had to pick a favourite then that’s my one, without a doubt.

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.
