sketchbook

I painted the foxtail agave plants that I see everywhere on my walks, and the clouds of air that they create

I drew this in a sketchbook a few years ago (2022) and found it again. I wanted to redraw it, well...I grew! Woot!

A line taken from the current book I’m digesting… Finally reading the My Neighbor Totoro book my girlfriend got me for my birthday. Slowly getting through but enjoying it immensely!

Another bus doodle I started last night, paused on, and finished up the moment I woke up… typical Thursday, I suppose.

Part two, this time with narwhals!

Part one of two! First, sharks…

Into darker(ish) territories we go… or not! Still, a bit of The Cure may have inspired this one :-)

Seemed like a good name for it, that’s all I can say about it really!

This time with squids!

Drawing of actress/model Simone René. Reference phot used with kind permission.

Witchy sticker time again!

*Ps:not my bestest work at all! even I took 11 days on this aka 1 an half weeks on it and I liked finished ver better then inked ver!* (finished ver is better)* (Ps emma fan pride month is very soon

Went out, topped up on art supplies and foxtrotted off on an adventure with my girlfriend. Standard stuff!

Pretty much what it says on the tin!

A little urban sketch of the view while sitting in a cafe in Karlovy Vary, CZ.

Finding random things to photograph on my photo jaunts is one thing but when you find abandoned Pokemon stickers to use for your art? Yes please!

Not your average cat cafe, but it’ll do :-)

Sperm whale time!

Rediscovered the German language versions of Peter Gabriel’s third and fourth albums (terrific btw) and come ‘Schock den Affen’ was intrigued at how the German word for ‘monkey’ sounds a hell of a lot like orphan… of course that might just be my ears, you know?

Spooky things and music time!

Casually racing through it with all the drawings… hence why it’s new sketchbook time already, hahaha! As we leave spring behind, meet “Summer Eyes”.

Time flies when you’re having fun… and so concludes another sketchbook!

Robots and whales united against transphobia!

“It seems that, like plants, we do need the shit of others for nutrients.” - Robert Hughes.

When your girlfriend makes a random remark and that gives you incentive to create… not that I need much prompting!

Colored with watercolors! I love the feel of these, and the way they match the style. I went with a bit of a different color scheme than I was initially thinking of. Decided for blue at the suggestion of my sister, and I think it works rather well.

Daily Gesture practice. I have been practicing for 30 minutes every day for two weeks. I aim to improve, but mostly to have fun. Feel free to give me pointers !

Reflecting on catching up (albeit briefly) with old friends despite the bleak circumstances that brought us back together…
