Micron pen and sumi ink. I used the watercolor technique with salt but subbed in the sumi ink instead of watercolor.

When I grew up, I found that most of the time I was a supporting role in this world. Then at least in my own world, I'm still me, I'm my own superhero. 

I've seen so many wonderful skies since returning to Wales. This one is dawn over the sleepy village of Llandybie.

I joined an app called sketchaday. They give you one prompt a day. Our prompt for today was new and decided to create my own twist to new lipstick. I had so much fun drawing and coloring this!

This little acrylic was inspired by the autumn morning skies over Penrhos. My partner and I lived with her parents for a time while we renovated our first house. I used to hang out the 3rd floor window in the mornings to take reference shots of the skies.

I've began to make a whole load of album covers. They don't quite correspond to an actual playlist, but they're their own thing. Each album has lore behind it, but I'm not giving it away. It's your job to try and figure things out; like a little puzzle. Drawn with FireAlpaca.

In late 2018, I started trying to be a bit more playful with art and experiment. This was a quick watercolour sketch I did. I'd like to revisit this one as a full watercolour painting.

When I was a child, whenever I was alone or lonely, I would fantasize about having super powers and being able to fly out into the universe and do anything. In my own world, I will always be the protagonist in my own story, guarding the lights of thousands of homes, world peace.

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

Personally, I like these designs way better than the ones I made first. Drawn with FireAlpaca.

Watercolour painting of Ponyo

I got a pack of loose watercolour paper from eBay in 2018. The side this was painted on had a really strange pitted texture on it. I thought it might be interesting but I didn't like the way the paint gathered in the pits. I just use it for sketching and testing colours these days.

Fiesta has been canceled for the second year here in San Antonio. In celebration of this awesome festival I bring you Fiesta Girl.

Every version of Elizabeth so far. Which one is your favorite? Personally, I like the prototype, V1, and advanced versions the most. Drawn with FireAlpaca.

Just some disparate doodles created during February 2021, using multiple black ink biros and some HB graphite pencil for toning.

Graphite drawing.

Pentre Ifan is a megalithic dolmen located in Pembrokeshire. I sketched at a point when I hadn't sketched for some time and felt like I should. I didn't give it the time it deserved and didn't even erase the pencil marks. Definitely one I should re-sketch at some point.
