pen and ink

Playing with colored inks at fountain pen

Of all the dreams I’ve had in my life, the one I had back in July of 2007 as a 14 year old seems to have stuck somewhere in my memory the longest. It involved some airy-fairy death and rebirth of the world and it all got very 2001-sy real quick. Here’s a retelling of that story...ish.

Long story short I needed a title, and prior to that my phone opted to have some sort of techno-stroke earlier in the day, and I took inspiration from this. So, yeah...

Drawing i did for artswap

This was my submission for the Doodle Addicts ‘Doodle Caravan’ competition in 2019. Some real world characters also made it in there. Try and spot Kerby Rosanes, Mr. Doodle and Mr. Bingo!

Assortment of drawing I have done while at work when nights are slow. I have done more but I usually give them away.

I overheard the term ‘feeding the muse’ after what felt like an age and two halves at some point this week, so I figured I’d utilise it as a source of inspiration (and corrupt it in the name of art) somehow...

A song of history and pastels.

Pen drawings of some cat pictures

Sequel time.

I don't just draw animal portraits! Although it seems tat way at the moment! I did one and it kind of snowballed!!! This one is part of a series of illustrations that tell the story of Hansel & Gretel.

Quite often I dream up strange word combinations. The title for this one’s yet another example of such activities...

The 'arting while travelling' exercise I'm ever so fond of.

Yes, the titles will remain forever random.

As it says on the tin! Don’t let those bastards grind you down.

This PCH912 SU is a fun and expressive pen to draw with. This fish is a fun and expressive chum to fly with.

A spot of Easter Monday improv.

Something water themed.

I'm trying to decide between color or black and white for this beach scene that will have layered bright flowers.

Standing on a cube, With nothing more to do, Than for us to wait in queue, For a chance to use the loo.
