Where did Monday go indeed...

...of a sort.

And that wraps things up with my current sketchbook! New one incoming shortly...

Sketchbook party.

Shark time again. :-)

Moon and whale combo time!

Tidbits of things overheard in the pub earlier this week when I was short of inspiration = this.

My girlfriend's words inspired this one, for which I’m forever grateful! :-P :-D

Time and space and wizarding things.

New Washi tape time!

Named after a malapropism of my doing, one that makes my girlfriend snigger like mad it seems. :-P

A bit of art therapy from this time last week after an overheated and, at times, shit-tacular day at work = the best kind of therapy.

Yet more Washi tape has been acquired!

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

Another seal of approval? *ba-dum-tss*

It totally bypassed my mind that last night I would be off to see Gary Numan with my uncle. The perks of having both an over-active work life and a social one too...

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 :-)

Phew! What a fortnight it's been here. Been engaging more in my photography as of late, but the day-job's had me on 'go' mode all Easter quite frankly. Thank the maker for those moments to yourself when you can just.. well, indulge really.

My quirks and silliness aside, can you tell I'm not the April fool's kind of guy?

Something warm coloured for the incoming spring. Also befitting of the feelings a lot of folks in my life (and myself included) seem to be feeling right now! Much cobweb detangling figuratively speaking this month past, that much is true...

I’m no stranger to weird dreams, and last night’s one was no exception to the rule. The doodle alone may do things *some* form of justice...

When your girlfriend knows about your Washi tape obsession, and gifts you accordingly come Valentine's Day... Also, film logo inspiration!

I generally make marks on something every day, but I'm really TRYING to do it purposefully in one single journal at a time. I also have super ADHD, which means I pretty much never go up to my actual studio and usually only use what's out on my desk, because out-of-sight-out-of-mind.

And that concludes another sketchbook! New one incoming...

Collage time! What else is new, eh?

Rainy days = a perfect excuse for a shedload of coffee and drawing to indulge in. :) Occurs to me I did one with the title “Laurel Weaver” close to four years ago. Not much else connects the two beyond the title or does it? I don’t know... Whatever the case, I fancied recycling and revisiting this idea somehow. Enjoy!

I do generally put pen (or some kind of tool), to paper (or some kind of surface), every day, but I'm really TRYING to do it purposefully in one singular location (journal). Here is a successful attempt from that particular day. I'm also super lazy, which means I never go up to my actual studio and only use what's out on my computer desk. (Including the "waste" page because I often like it as much/more.)
