pen and ink

Hammerhead time again.

After a productive couple of days, it’s a Mark Lanegan and manga kind of night here.

My quirks and silliness aside, can you tell I'm not the April fool's kind of guy?

Post-work coffee shop doodling time!

Here's to those lighter nights...

Was one of these days at work yesterday! Who knows what today will bring?

Was initially going to try coffee painting with this one, but that clearly wasn’t happening... Hence the mentioning of divorce here, it being my expectations being split from the reality this time around. Still, things worked out in the end!

It was a Damien Jurado kind of evening last night!

Kept myself occupied during a quiet day at work earlier by getting a head-start on things here, and my word it was quiet! Well...ish (towards the end that is).

A remark someone at the fire spinning club I go on Monday evenings during chat I had with them last night got me doodling again!

Love

Whale, shark or warrior-esque dolphin? Heck, even I’m not too sure... This one turned out well and that’s what matters most, so enjoy!

'tis all but a dream here...

This started as a pen line drawing (with Skura Pigma micron pen) which I then painted with Dr PH Martin's Hydrus watercolors. They are fun and very bright. This is on Strathmore 300 11x17 Bristol paper.

Doodle from an IG post by Whalebone Magazine

Something warm coloured for the incoming spring. Also befitting of the feelings a lot of folks in my life (and myself included) seem to be feeling right now! Much cobweb detangling figuratively speaking this month past, that much is true...

A mish-mash of all kinds here.

Doodle time strikes again!

A daze in the life.

I’m no stranger to weird dreams, and last night’s one was no exception to the rule. The doodle alone may do things *some* form of justice...

When your girlfriend knows about your Washi tape obsession, and gifts you accordingly come Valentine's Day... Also, film logo inspiration!

New sketchbook time!

And that concludes another sketchbook! New one incoming...

Currently reading ‘Nina Simone’s Gum’ by Warren Ellis at long last. What a phenomenal bit of work this is, and inspiring to boot most importantly as you can see. Thanks for sharing your stories with us all Warren!

Before social hijinks earlier last night, more ideas needed to explode onto paper...

Full moons and whale songs.

Caffeine-induced crazy.

Collage time! What else is new, eh?

Rainy days = a perfect excuse for a shedload of coffee and drawing to indulge in. :) Occurs to me I did one with the title “Laurel Weaver” close to four years ago. Not much else connects the two beyond the title or does it? I don’t know... Whatever the case, I fancied recycling and revisiting this idea somehow. Enjoy!

*Irn-Bru vibes a go-go here* As the wee small hours approach, I finally get round to testing the Washi tape I picked up last Sunday...
