scot

The name for this piece comes from a billboard I noticed as I was heading home from a shopping trip not too long ago, and it’s stuck with me ever since. Life in lockdown (needless to say) brings with it plenty of time for us all to learn and get creative in whatever way works best..

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

Dabbling in something new and experimental(ish) because, why not?

The end of one sketchbook, with the beginning of another to arrive shortly!

Would old Victor be proud? Who knows...

One week on from Beltane Fire Festival 2025 and it stills feel surreal that’s it for another year, you know? It’ll be nice to get back to some semblance of normality/whatever… For now? Have a gar on me :-P :-)

More stickers! These mushroom flavoured ones were created by @katrinblackwater :-)

A tribute to The Fall and the genius of Mark E. Smith. Not much I can really add to that!

Whale, no 1…

An exercise in the art of anguish languish.

The title for this one was inspired by a remark the DJ Marc Riley made on his BBC 6 Music show earlier in the week. Couldn’t resist getting inspired! As we self-isolate and/or minimise going out unless we feel the absolute need to, as Freddie of the Mercury once sang, “radio, someone still loves you ❤️”

It seems like most people I know these days are starting families, so I figured I'd respond in the way I know best...

New sketchbook time? And right on time too.

Goodbye to one month, and hello to all manner of April foolery.

Much ado about the bullshit of relationships.

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

And that concludes the current sketchbook!

It’s a skeleton cats and whales day!

Something simpler (on the surface at least).

Dinosaur doodling is the way of things today.

Onwards to closure.

Breaking into July the way I know best.

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!

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

The creative streak continues!

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.”

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*

Day of the Dead vibes all around here!

Island mentality.
