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).

Portrait in Texture.

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

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)...

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

Saturday night I was watching a documentary and continued to draw the interviewer.

9x12

Another alien oddball (as per usual)!

A spot of midnight improvisation and general creative spontaneity.

Sleep well David Bowie, and thanks for all the inspiration! Saw this comment on one of Iggy Pop’s music videos via YouTube and had to create something based around it, spelling mistakes and all...

To be perfectly honest, the latest lockdown announcement here in Scotland was bound to influence my art in some form or another... Needless to say this is going to be one looooong winter, one that’ll have me blasting “Here Comes The Sun” by The Beatles once it ends, or at the very least stabilises.

What's in front of me. I had to use more than one color because it just didn't feel right only brown, or only green.

The race heats up!

The best time to doodle is when u have to sit still for a few hours at a place where u can grab some paper and pen!

My idea was to make a textile pattern for fabric printing. Drawn on paper with a micron pen .005, colored with pens then put into Photoshop for some color manipulation, blurring of lines and pattern arrangement.

Every dusk my sunflowers get demolished by evil vampire snails. Welcome to spring!
