“To rally every black sheep is my goal.” - Julian Cope.

The end of one sketchbook and journey, with another to begin shortly!

Unicorn whales and shiny things… standard stuff? Yep.

This week’s been an interesting one for socialising in my world, no denying it. If I’m not getting acquainted with new folks at work or at my art clubs, it’s reconnecting with people I haven’t seen in 20+ years… certainly informed today’s piece, without a doubt!

A detailed hand-drawn ink and wash illustration featuring two majestic dogs that look like statues perched above a historic gothic cathedral. This piece captures the timeless atmosphere of old European streets, blending architectural precision with the organic soul of a loyal companion cast in stone. Perfect for fans of urban sketching, dark academia, and classical monument art.

I named him Fido. He took exception and ate me! Now this grouchy dragon is perched on his favorite outcrop.

Photograph taken by Paula Mignucci thanks for giving me kind permission to draw this cute but serious looking Fox.

Another of them usual characters to conclude things in my current volume!

As I’ve said before and I’ll say again, there’s never enough narwhals!

Happy Solstice one and all :-)

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”.
