outs

A creature of habit until the end, that's me.

The sequel to “Another Fine Soul Lost To Parenthood”.

It seems like most people I know these days are starting families, so I figured I'd respond in the way I know best...

Continuing my prolific streak as of late, because why not?

I look at way too many carefully decorated spaces on Pinterest, so I painted one of them and then opened up the room to nature. Also a way to experiment with "gouache painting" in Adobe Fresco.

Wednesday wind-down time! Took a wander to my local coffee shop and came back with this. A job well done I’d say :)

It gets weird in Bleu's world most times, and for that I regret absolutely nothing.

Visual jamming, nothing new here! Also, hello February.

(4B pencil on a 125mm x 105mm sheet of toilet paper) To commemorate the UK leaving the EU, I decided to add my little "celebration" to mark the occasion, in the form of an inverted union flag, crudely drawn on a single sheet of toilet paper. A false sense of nationalism drove the UK out of the EU. It's therefore to be wondered how far that nationalism will serve the country on the outside. Probably as far as one sheet of toilet paper. "Mind how you go!"

Leave the light on for us Scottish folks Europe, thank you!

Last night's Wednesday wind-down.

Dabbling in something new and experimental(ish) because, why not?

Keep calm and carry on.

It’s safe to say January feels like one of those 100 day months...

This is an old Formula 3 race car built by Joseph Potts ltd, Lanarkshire, in 1952. They have it in the National Museum of Scotland, where I drew this a couple of weeks ago as a part of Urban Sketchers meetup (as it’s too cold to go outside yet). This is pretty mixed media: pencil, watercolour pencil, white gouache and some acrylic markers. Drawn on spot.

Sometimes, my demons inspire me in a weird way.

Essential Wednesday winding down on my part.

Make art, not war!

I often hear music in my dreams. In this case, it was ‘Babylon’ by Oneohtrix Point Never (a.k.a. Daniel Lopatin, for those unaware). I had to respond in the best way possible of course!

Landscapes too good for some.

Not as apocalyptic as it looks or sounds! Inspired by a dream I had about committing a social faux-pas of the worst kind you could imagine.

My process in a nutshell, more or less!

Hello 2020! The madness resumes.

A mistake I’m sure we’ll all be able to relate to, heheheh.

The end of one sketchbook, with the beginning of another to arrive shortly!

Thinking ahead, as you do.

Even if it is (in my case at the least) just doodling away to the point of allsorts in the hopes it’ll make at least one person a) happy b) perked or c) amused, do good and be good in wake of the current shitstorms in the making. More for another day...

Because two heads are better or worse than none.
