mixed media

You can never have enough narwhals…

Yep.

Spooky sharks!

Sounds like life right now, for good reasons though!

Started as a dream, ended as a painting.

And into another sketchbook, the first of 2026 proper, we go! Introducing “More Portable Weirdness” :-)

Surreal lands time again :-)

Where could we go here then?

Well, did he?

An accurate description of my social media habits…

Mixed media drawing. 2020.

Inspired by real life habits of mine, heheheh.

A right mixture as always!

Inspired by a lovely painting by illustrator Loré Pemberton.

Random page from my main story.

Finished this today in urban sketching. View from my backyard with Edinburgh tenements and a back corner of Fountainbridge library. Mixed media on A4 (pencil, watercolour pencil, brush pen, posca markers, white ink and conte pastel). I always end up mixing lots of media these days :O

Squids meeting ghosts, again? Yee-up.

Sometimes, you just want it darker…

Maps and krakens.

Nobby mouse from Doctor Snuggles, legendary old cartoon. Watercolors and ink pen on A5.

Collage

Messing around with very mixed media. Pen, pencil, color pencil, colored sharpies, brush pen and acrylic pen. Just threw everything within arms reach at it lol.

And into October we go!
