pencil drawing

Pencil drawing of Poe and the torture of losing Lenore.

Some folks in this world tend to get a kick out of their more negative impulses and for all sorts of trivial reasons. Had to crank out something in response to my thoughts on the matter here! On a lighter note, any excuse to draw an irrawaddy dolphin is a good one...:)

And into July we are, at last!

Reflecting on the current pandemic, only to realise things this time last year gave plenty of us something to gripe about too... How times seemed simpler then.

Narwhals, washi tape, patterns galore...or as I like to call it, a standard Friday night.

Saw this missing cat poster whilse out running errands the other day which started off with the sentence "Answers to Esme", and those words have been circling around in my head ever since. Naturally, the end product here had little to do with the finished artwork!

Eyes meeting trees, and a hint of surveillance.

Something about mermaids today! Got to love those fishy tailed sorts. :)

Rainy day assemblages.

Onwards to closure.

For all manner of mad monks.

All hearts are good ones (let's hope).

No idea what squid radio images look like, but here's something close.

Inspired by allsorts, as always :)

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.

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

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

It’s safe to say January feels like one of those 100 day months...

Sometimes, my demons inspire me in a weird way.
