Missing people watching in public, and the smells and sounds of a coffeehouse. Pencil drawing with some digital painting.

Much ado about the bullshit of relationships.

The past two days have been interesting, to say the least. My anxiety kicked up again, yielding two more panic attacks...oh joy. There's an increasingly chaotic external environment: COVID-19 positivity rates rising, looting, SAT nonsense (thank you College Board for not giving anyone information and for being very uncooperative). Am I angry at people in the world? Yes, and I know that's a generic, over-used phrase, but I truly am. I'm tired of all of this. I'm aggravated with the current state of the U.S. There's moments where things feel fine, and others when it feels like things are closing in. No one knows what the next few months will bring and tensions are high. Will things work out? They will eventually; they better. But, at the same time, what the heck is even going on anymore?

Not nice. Not happy. An unhappy ending to an unhappy and struggling world. we tried . Now we have been given Illoniri, we start over, and this time the people are different, not just human, but elves and orcs, and people made of candy . Hope starts when we give up hopelessness and embrace new. Don't ask yourself which of these last people you may be . Just ask yourself if you want a better world than this. It really isn't about becoming someone, but finding out who you really are. Bloom .

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

So it’s not awful. It’s just not great. I tried to upload something. It wasn’t big enough apparently. So I am doing this one.... it’s interesting.

Way out of my comfort zone today, went to the National Gallery of Victoria to draw, I met a bunch of awesome new people and helped rescue a very tired and dehydrated bat.

And that concludes the current sketchbook!

It’s a skeleton cats and whales day!

Something simpler (on the surface at least).

uhmmm a simple illustration about a kid that is walking blindfolded

Dinosaur doodling is the way of things today.

Onwards to closure.

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!

Doodling outside while visiting the local swimming pool. I used some bleedthrough from swatching markers as clothes.

Breaking into July the way I know best.

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

The creative streak continues!

Island mentality.

New art supplies = the best excuse to get creative! Also, narwhals.

“Hikyaku - literally "fleet feet" or "flying feet." These running messengers played a critical role in delivering items and messages, given that in Japan's mountainous terrain, other modes of transportation, like horses or carriages, weren't very practical.”

A rererework I finally liked. Opinions are welcome. Done with Kuretake brushes and gel pens. I used a photo from Girli as a reference.

Day of the Dead vibes all around here!

Back to more surreal programming.

Inspired by allsorts, as always :)

Doodling around in my Moleskine. 2B Pencil, Soft Charcoal Pencil, Moleskine sketchbook.

Last illustration of 2020, represents well my intentions for 2021! Living to the fullest, exploring, staying open and curious, finding joy in the everyday, dedicating to my passions! ✨❤️ May your 2021 be magical in a way you wish for ❤️
