Coffee is Fuel for the Brain

After being stuck with an A5 pad for a month, i finally got my hands on a A3 one. What better way to celebrate than painting a messy room? No rules, no plans, just making things up as i go.

I pride myself for not being into internet drama or spreading gossip, but i do have a guilty pleasure. Mohammad agbadi is a youtuber who talks about problems with the art community, like tracing, theft, harassing and difficulties with etnic representation. Hopefully he wouldnt mind me borrowing his face to practise drawing black men... even though i heavily overworked his skin.

idk. just a frog yo

Here's Kermit and Gonzo out for a ride. And if you can read sheet music then you will see this is the start of the Muppet Show theme tune Gonzo is playing.

This is the Tidy corner on my desk. The rest are not fit for audience.

The little bluebird, restless artist, Flew over the orange horizon without restraint. With his box full of colored pencils, He thought he could paint the sky in an instant, of course! But too many pencils and too few wings, Unbalanced the poor little bird. So many colors, no coordination, His creative disaster fell to the ground! Orange, yellow and red pencils shattered, While the little blue bird fell in tears. His celestial dream turned into a nightmare... Until he saw - a rainbow formed! From sadness, joy overflowed, In that magical moment he understood: It doesn't matter the skill or the tools, Art comes from the heart, even if messy!

Dismal. Another one of my favorite words. And incidentally, I am so good at drawing dogs. Dismally good. https://www.instagram.com/p/CrlUREQudDf/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

The Rotten Carrot pub, on the corner of St Sithney’s Road and Dregs Lane, is known for a lot of things; a good pint is not one of them.

My favorite watercolor piece I've done so far. I plan to be posting more regularly again, but I'm still super busy so we'll see.

Swimmingly is such a good word! I personally swim like a brick, so usually try not to describe things in my life as such. Inspired by a photograph by a photograph by Michael Carlebach. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cqk3W01uzUv/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Rescued this book from the trash, showed it to a kid who used to have a guinea pig. He said, in a horrified voice "What a nightmare!" And so this phrase is saved for posterity. #bookassketchbooks #watercolor # guineaPigs https://www.instagram.com/p/CpsXEyeuKpY/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
