Cryptically does it... A narwhal swims around who-knows-what-it-all-means.

Driven by my mishearing of something Dr. David Scheel was talking about regarding the octopus Heidi he kept in his home for a yearlong period... His documentary ‘Octopus: Making Contact’ is a lovely thing worth watching I should add!

Current events mean retreating into my sketchbook is the way of things today, until it blows over(ish, emphasis on the -ish).

Narwhals it seems, and I’m sure I’ve said this before, are a perfect remedy for art blocks I'd say. Wasn’t going anywhere last night, that is until I gave things another go and this fellow here saved the day!

Improvising a thing or two centred around krakens and all things cephalopod flavoured :)

Whenever I think of tags and/or labels for people, be it things like ‘gammons’ or ‘snowflakes’ et al, narrowing it down to a single person who represents that group is always running a fool’s errand in my opinion.

Something simple, yet magical...definitely need to draw more kelpies here!

Been hillwalking a lot more than I used to, and it's starting to show itself in my doodles :)

Beluga tribute time...

(some doodles require two post-it notes)

My take on this month’s “Draw Me A Robot” challenge!

An autogenerated Youtube playlist (that I’ve yet to listen to) prompted this malarkey... This narwhal needed a home too!

New sketchbook time! Had to throw in a shark. No idea why, just did :)

Repeated psych-folk listenings/last night’s drunken pretensions informed a misspelling of things or two...

In Kansas City there are lots of options, but I always think of these when I think of KC landmarks.

Sawshark symphonies and cryptic sorts.

Swimming in a musical landscape, as you do.

Narwhals swimming in mandala flavoured pools. Same methods, new frontiers I'm guessing?

Like Bruce from Finding Nemo, they intended on having fish tonight...they succeeded.

Been aching to draw one of these for a while now! Can’t knock goblin sharks, that’s for sure.

Another alien oddball (as per usual)!

I keep seeing the word 'binary' crop up a lot in various discourses I’ve caught a glance at recently, whether it pertains to discussions around things like cancel culture or countless other things too numerous to mention. Funny what the lack of a middle ground these days does to certain people, irrespective of their political/ethical viewpoints...

I have long been fascinated by the vision of a campfire in a dark forest and I have drawn a few versions of it with different results. This is the latest attempt
