New sketchbook time!

And that concludes another sketchbook! New one incoming...

Collage time! What else is new, eh?

Bearskullpine A new bigger version of my earlier drawing In the Finnish mythology killing of a bear was followed by a great feast in honour of the bear (peijaiset), where a substantial part of the celebrations consisted of convincing the bear's spirit that it had died accidentally and hadn't been murdered. Afterwards, the bear's skull was hung high upon a pine tree so its spirit could re-enter the heavens. The bones of the bear were then buried under the pine.

Bringing in 2022 properly with something simple...

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!

Apparently, Blixa Bargeld of Einsturzende Neubaten and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds fame actually did this to his school back when he was a lad! I needed an idea for a convoluted weird-as-they-come title, and after reading that story I knew I had something, heheheh :)

Thank the maker for weekends past, hangovers and random observations that inspire.

New sketchbook time :)

More world speculating again...

My take on this month’s “Draw Me A Robot” challenge!

Charcoal on wood

New sketchbook time! Had to throw in a shark. No idea why, just did :)

Narwhals swimming in mandala flavoured pools. Same methods, new frontiers I'm guessing?

Playing around with anagram generators for inspiration this time around, as you do.

Was itching to play along with the “Draw Me A Robot” challenge for a while now! Not much I can say about this, pretty spontaneous to say the least... Definitely wanted to add some sort of low fidelity edge to things though.

New year, similar kind of tricks. Hope it’s treating you all well so far!

Back to more surreal programming.

Possibly inspired by current events.

Mechanical pencil drawing with digital texture and color, snail mailed anonymously to family and friends. #anonyRots

New sketchbook time! Onwards to new doodling-flavoured adventures... Keeping it simple to start things off (as is custom).

Colored pencil on toned paper

New art supplies = the best excuse to get creative! Also, narwhals.

These snails entered a portal to a new dimension and they are very frightened.

Very sorry to hear the news about GeorgeFloyd who was a victim of police brutality. Racist people don’t deserve any respect in this world. All lives matters.

This time last year I was in the midst of starting off my (then) new sketchbook... And what do I find myself doing tonight? Sticking to the same script with yet another one, that’s what!

A more unusual interpretation of the mermay theme some of us are fond of. Also, new sketchbook time is fast approaching!
