pen and ink

Just keep embracing your inner madness folks!

Essential quarantine creative goings-on.

This just happened, and that's all I can say really.

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!

It's all about masks and disguises.

Monday motivation...of a sorts (it's technically Tuesday on my side of the pond, but whatever).

Pretty much what it says.

Tuesday night (or is Wednesday morning?) is alright for improvising, that much is true.

In the immortal words of Jim Carrey...ssssssssssmokin'!

The word “backwards” in reverse would sound, I’m fairly certain, like something along the lines of ‘straw cab’ I’m presuming? Anyway, that was what randomly prompted me today to get cracking on with some art, heheheh.

I finally got back to a non-digital pen for a little while. Working on a few mountains right now for a project.

Fun little fact: The anglerfish belongs to the teleost order known as Lophiiformes. See what I did here?

Once the curve flattens and we can all go about our usual businesses without potentially killing one another, let’s not forget all the good habits and so on we’ve picked up from staying the feck at home! Some sort of a summer will come, rest assured.

Blue moons and the usual loons.

Kicking things off with the new sketchbook! And what a time to do so... Coronavirus is rampant everywhere it seems, however big or small. If self-isolation (even for just a bit, wherever you are) is the way to combat this then I suggest making the most of this time. *Captain Obvious groove*

For whenever you feel knocked down, but know you’ll be up again in no time at all.

I've been working on portraits so much that it's taken up most of my drawing time. I miss the simpler things like trees and mountains so today at lunch I drew this tree.

It’s Chinese New Year today. So on that note, happy new year to you all! 恭喜发财!

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...

Sometimes, my demons inspire me in a weird way.

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.

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...

Overheard the title for this while out with some friends this past weekend. Fun times so they were...

I know it’s a little early to start thinking about the next decade, but I needed the inspiration...
