Take A Step Outside Yourself - Pens on vintage photo.

In one of the sessions in HOW TO DRAW WITHOUT TALENT Danny Gregory asks us to draw a Memory Bike. I did as asked, and then I went online to find out how a bike actually is constructed. In my search I suddenly found myself on a page that besides nice photo

(2B pencil on a 75mm x 125mm notecard) A reactionary piece, considering the growth of the far right in the world today.

(HB pencil on a 87mm x 139mm postcard) Every leap year day, the residents of toon world go batshit crazy and indulge themselves, because it's the only day when they can really get hurt.

Tsai Ing-wen Taiwan's first woman president.

I introduced Wrecks awhile back as my anxiety and depression. The flip side to him is my happy, fun loving side. This little guy's job is to keep things positive and build me up. I'd like to introduce my good friend, Buil (Bill).

Squids with a spiritual side.

Whales, snails and other assorted creatures... you’re liable to find them all here!

WHATS INSIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????????????????????????????????

Giving Pichu a cybernetic upgrade!

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

Blue moons and the usual loons.

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

Thinking ahead, as you do.

Even if it is (in my case at the least) just doodling away to the point of allsorts in the hopes it’ll make at least one person a) happy b) perked or c) amused, do good and be good in wake of the current shitstorms in the making. More for another day...

Overheard the title for this while out with some friends this past weekend. Fun times so they were...
