sketchbook

Dragonite wishing you all a happy Chinese new year when it comes! :-)

Quick studies of animals that start with P, brainstorming for an alphabet project I'm doing.

9x12 on gray toned paper.

Freehand sketching in ink, from a photo reference I found online.

Arctic whales for the ongoing arctic season...

Experimenting with making marks with unconventional drawing tools; a utility razor blade.

It's all about gastropods and the changing of seasons in my world right now. :-)

Another day? Another drawing, of course. :-)

Spooky whale time! And a touch of Mark Lanegan flavoured listening material also...

Day job blues... relatable?

Back at it...

Prospects for this month that’s not long started? Here’s hoping!

It's a sperm whale and underground hip-hop kind of day in my world right now.

Don't should all over yourself.

Here's to those lighter nights...

'tis all but a dream here...

I generally make marks on something every day, but I'm really TRYING to do it purposefully in one single journal at a time. I also have super ADHD, which means I pretty much never go up to my actual studio and usually only use what's out on my desk, because out-of-sight-out-of-mind.

One last drawing before 2021 draws to a close... There may come a day when I don’t get inspiration from Wings Of Desire, but today’s not one of them (tomorrow’s not looking good either), hehehe. Happy new year when it comes my friends!

Watercolor day 27.

Pleasant and Smiling Kurt addressing an audience.

Finally got round to watching Hunt For The Wilderpeople, after eons of procrastinating over doing so, and was well chuffed at how great it was! Gave me some much needed inspiration for some art as well, always a bonus. Can see what the Deadpool 2 guys saw in Julian Dennison that’s for sure, and of course Sam Neill was brilliant as well. Can’t be forgetting Taika Waititi either for directing it! Excellent job from all in my opinion :)

Whalesongs to round the week off (as usual).

Driven by my mishearing of something Dr. David Scheel was talking about regarding the octopus Heidi he kept in his home for a yearlong period... His documentary ‘Octopus: Making Contact’ is a lovely thing worth watching I should add!

Current events mean retreating into my sketchbook is the way of things today, until it blows over(ish, emphasis on the -ish).

An autogenerated Youtube playlist (that I’ve yet to listen to) prompted this malarkey... This narwhal needed a home too!

I do browse some weird things on places like Youtube, without a doubt! Definitely in the search of inspiration 9 out of 10 times though (as you can see)...
