journaling

It is what is, as they say.

Video games and bees, because why not?

Happy Beltane!

New sketchbook time? Yes it is. Experimenting with a new size this time around... I call this one “Miniature Eyes”!

And so, we reach the end of another sketchbook here… it’s goodnight from me and Squirtle, for now!

Couldn’t forget to draw Vaporeon, could I?

Dragonite wishing you all a happy Chinese new year when it comes! :-)

Arctic whales for the ongoing arctic season...

It's all about gastropods and the changing of seasons in my world right now. :-)

Another day? Another drawing, of course. :-)

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

Day job blues... relatable?

Back at it...

Prospects for this month that’s not long started? Here’s hoping!

It's a sperm whale and underground hip-hop kind of day in my world right now.

Here's to those lighter nights...

'tis all but a dream here...

One last drawing before 2021 draws to a close... There may come a day when I don’t get inspiration from Wings Of Desire, but today’s not one of them (tomorrow’s not looking good either), hehehe. Happy new year when it comes my friends!

Finally got round to watching Hunt For The Wilderpeople, after eons of procrastinating over doing so, and was well chuffed at how great it was! Gave me some much needed inspiration for some art as well, always a bonus. Can see what the Deadpool 2 guys saw in Julian Dennison that’s for sure, and of course Sam Neill was brilliant as well. Can’t be forgetting Taika Waititi either for directing it! Excellent job from all in my opinion :)

Whalesongs to round the week off (as usual).

Driven by my mishearing of something Dr. David Scheel was talking about regarding the octopus Heidi he kept in his home for a yearlong period... His documentary ‘Octopus: Making Contact’ is a lovely thing worth watching I should add!

Current events mean retreating into my sketchbook is the way of things today, until it blows over(ish, emphasis on the -ish).

Something simple, yet magical...definitely need to draw more kelpies here!

Been hillwalking a lot more than I used to, and it's starting to show itself in my doodles :)

An autogenerated Youtube playlist (that I’ve yet to listen to) prompted this malarkey... This narwhal needed a home too!

I do browse some weird things on places like Youtube, without a doubt! Definitely in the search of inspiration 9 out of 10 times though (as you can see)...

Sawshark symphonies and cryptic sorts.

Like Bruce from Finding Nemo, they intended on having fish tonight...they succeeded.

Acrylic inks, colored pencils, Posca markers

I genuinely can't believe it's already March (I also can't believe it'll be a year since the pandemic really started). Yesterday also marked one year since I started journaling, which isn't an actual major thing, but still. How quickly time flies and how big of a difference a year can make. "And when it rains, the rain falls down Washing out the cattle town But she's quite safe up far away in her eiderdown And she dreams of crystal streams Of days gone by when we would lean Laughing, fit to burst, on each other."
