pen and ink

During the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, I'm inundated with flyers. A bit of a burden to some, but in my case they have their uses...

Yes, the titles will remain forever random.

This is a drawing I have been working on when I need to slow down and turn my brain off for a little while so it's taking quite a while to finish but I am always happy to see it progress that little bit further every time I sit down with it. This is from my A3 sketchbook, I used to stick to smaller A5 and A4 sizes but I am certainly appreciating the extra space with this drawing.

Friday nights make good gig nights. This was inspired by one such event that happened not too long ago. :)

Amon Cultural Costa Rica, we took the streets to draw random doodles.

⚡Flash Back Friday⚡ Going back to a blackbook doodle from a few years ago. Why am I showing you this? Because graffiti art is, and has been, one of my greatest influences (aside from M.C. Escher). It is an art form I love, and I gain much inspiration from the graffiti scene (legal and illegal). I don’t really show this side of my art to the world, but it is fun for me to create, and it definitely informs my other pieces of work.

The fall lasted 3 days this year... this global warming is going to end the planet as we know it.

I’ve encountered an awful lot of reprobates in my life so far. This piece is dedicated to a particular group of them...
