Keeping one's head above the water in times of crisis...

Aaaaaaaaaand, September is here. Let's make this autumn a creative one...

Another episode of narwhal fever.

I had some family at my house this week and my niece kept wanting to play my ukulele, only she called it "kookulele". It made me laugh every time and in the morning before they got up I sketched this real quick to remind me of it.

A narwhal! Because, why not?

Would old Victor be proud? Who knows...

The product of a collaboration with a very good friend of mine's; I did my usual squid thing and he supplied the Mr Oizo homage-themed collage bits! Check out his work here: https://flynnsego.bandcamp.com/

Happy June one and all.

Channelling Joan Miro (as usual)...

Dye in watercolor paper sketchbook.

An exercise in the art of anguish languish.

A line in 'Renegade: The Lives And Tales Of Mark E. Smith', which I'm currently reading, got my creative juices flowing this time around!

The final page in my current sketchbook! Stay tuned after the break folks.

Something unicorn-shaped(ish).

New art supplies! Of course, I don’t need an excuse to get to work but if I had to pick a favourite then that’s my one, without a doubt.

I often have weird dreams that inspire my artwork, and that one I had last night where I took over a jungle (or was it a forest? I don’t know) sure got me inspired.

A creature of habit until the end, that's me.

The sequel to “Another Fine Soul Lost To Parenthood”.

It seems like most people I know these days are starting families, so I figured I'd respond in the way I know best...

A tribute to The Fall and the genius of Mark E. Smith. Not much I can really add to that!

Says it all and yet, nothing.

Portrait practice last night as I was sitting on the porch.

Art therapy is good therapy.

I do like a good mondegreen, that much is true. See the radio edit of Royksopp’s ‘Remind Me’ for more details (I might not be mishearing the lyrics, but it’s still quite the earworm): https://youtu.be/XEQcWbbkyPY

Something all over the shop.

What else is new here?
