There are some things I’m so grateful for in 2018 and then there was a lot of stuff that I would love to go away. So this is my farewell art. There’s nothing random in this doodle but I’ll keep most of it to myself. Let’s hope for a way better 19.

Ian Dury - Blockhead. A hero of mine

A page from one of my many Moleskines

This is part of an ongoing series. This time we pass through The Great Exhibition and meet the different characters there to view art or just to socialise and hang out.

Effects of MDMA on the brain shown through the white spaces in the brain.

I was testing a Rotring Rapid Pro 2mm and this came out. Inked with a burgundy Custom 743 EF, an underrated workhorse of a pen.

Developing that habit of staying positive in all situations…

This image was created to be a limited print to go along with my new book, 10 Years of Daily Drawings.

Dogs are fun to draw because they have these oh so happy faces. This is a sketch of the office dog Thermos.

My little fun series of everyday food during quarantine just to make it more cosmic ;) This one sketch a day approach helps with my long break in drawings! :) Sketchbook, coffee and ink.

Early morning camping trip! This week I've *resurrected* my instagram. It's @gouacheandink or https://www.instagram.com/gouacheandink/ Hope you all have a happy 4th of July :)

Quick sketch of a snowy tree outside my room.

This was so enjoyable to do. Hand drawn using black 0.03, 0.05 and 0.1 fine liners on A4 medium cartridge paper. 22.5 hours of work and made my eyes hurt!

Digital drawing on procreate of Dobby. Tried to do some drawing in a style I wouldnt normally do!

Personal project with one of my little moon children characters . As usual, coffee and ink.

This is part of a broader idea for a big busy city teeming with different characters. Some of those characters will travel deeper through this city and through different lands. Eventually they get back to where they started from.

The Toast of the Town. Too bad the weather had to turn just when things were heating up.

Details of the stand up bass player and the pianist.

Day 142 of my project #365daysofpostitpeople

Digital painting of a fox lying in grass.

I've been traveling all summer and had not been able to make any art. Here is my first painting in a while. A little bit of art therapy.

It's been a weird couple of years where social media became so toxic I'm just not online much. This place isn't like that so I have no excuse! So here's the CD cover for my new album "Junkyard Sam - OUTCAST", now available on Soundcloud & Spotify.

Mixed media. Acrylic, pencil, digital. This is a piece from the book “Mail Me Art - Medium Without A Message” by @littlechimpsociety. I think it was the second call for entries/book.There are now 4 books filled with awesome art drawn and painted on outsides of envelopes and packages by artists all over the world who then mailed them to the UK totally exposed to the postal service. The original was all analog. I brought this into Procreate and reworked it. I may do more when I get a chance but I’m pretty satisfied with it now.

Original ink and watercolor portrait painting on Strathmore 500 Series 4-ply Bristol illustration paper. Signed by the artist. Unframed.

This "mountain" is also a lady of threads, she puts threads on all the beings that she creates!
