The best way to finish off a good weekend? Some creativity of course!

As far as things that I can’t seem to shake off are concerned, it’s this fact that a place like Edinburgh where I live is akin to a village where everyone (artist folk in particular) seems to know everyone, and the patterns or quirks that emerge from this said thought process. In most collectives I’m a part of and/or are associated with, there’s what seems like an endless sense of crossover and overlap with fellow artists etc for lack of better words, which is lovely as it is insane... you know? All in all though, even if it drives me mad it does so in a strangely positive way and I’ve learned to live with that. So yeah, make of that what you will. :-)

Stuff

marker and colored pencil from the sketchbook

This started off as a black ink drawing, but after scanning into my computer, I played around in Pixelmator to add the background and some effects to achieve the final result. This was going to be my first attempt at either Inktober ot Artober. Many thanks for looking !

frame was drawn digitally with procreate :)

After a productive couple of days, it’s a Mark Lanegan and manga kind of night here.

A quick doodle gave this box a tad more 'character'! ;)

Witchy sticker time again!

Oh well, just a fun doodle. Ocean theme I guess.

Seasons incoming…

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

Ink and watercolor on 30 lb watercolor paper.

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

I painted the background in watercolour. The self portrait was a separate pencil sketch. After a bit of mucking around with them both on my phone, I came up with this. In case you're wondering, I have septum piercings, which is what the protruding part is, near my nose.
