I can't believe October is already here, and it's startling how fast time is moving. I shouldn't be up this late, but I wanted to make some art, especially given how today has been (8-3:15 'in school,' 3:15-10pm doing homework). The honest answer is I just feel down. I can usually phrase things better but my brain is fried. Everything is non-stop, the time I have to breathe seems to get shorter. Anyway, it's 11pm, I should get to bed.

Deep blue sees.

The one subject that I don’t like to draw, so I have to force myself to draw them. Whenever I do draw them, they end up looking weird.

Doodled on a Samsung note 4. (Maybe I should look for a new phone)

When my brain wants to be doing something other than what it is supposed to be paying attention to

Friday night I sit at a lantern near the exit of the subway Wilmersdorferstraße. Next to me a pile of electric scooters, their taillights shining red, ready for rent. To the left, people go to the subway or come out, then the escalator starts, screeching

Pencil Drawing

One with all the festivities in mind.

R is for ratty. Saw the tailless rat again. Thanks to the subway tardiness I got to watch for a while. Very entertaining!

I started a project of hunt illustrations, where things in the image need to be found. In this, the objects were: Lost iPhone, murder weapon, portal to another world, glass half empty and banana. (This is the pre-digital illustration which I don’t usually share but felt like a change!)

In my grand quest for a easy to draw and color new style but I have no time to sketch for this, I present you: Inktober 2018's tanuki! fav.me/dcp5uhz Behold. I'm still a fan of his tiny stick like paw under the belly XD --- Dans ma grande recherche de style facile et rapide à dessiner que j’ai pas le temps de faire un nouveau croquis pour ça, je vous apporte: Le tanuki d’inktober 2018. Tadam. Je suis toujours aussi fanne de ses papattes toutes maigres par rapport au reste XD

No idea where this title came from, but it works so...yeah. Also, new sketchbook time!

I drew, I collaged, I pasted and just arted in general. Times are good!

sketch made with markers and ink

"Lang may yer lum reek (a Hogmanay greeting, implying "May you never be without fuel for your fire!", but more literally translates to "Long may your chimney smoke!")" All this I corrupted and used to inspire me here.

One for all those Inktober folks out there! Rest assured, despite what the verses say here, you're as mad as march hares in the best way possible. :)

Something spontaneous(ish), as usual.

Today's cut-up fest, inspired by the works of Anthony Burgess and Stanley Kubrick.

(HB pencil on 120mm x 100mm paper) A dreamscape piece (automatic drawing) which seems to have an almost planetary feel to it with the glowing orb and the line of spheres which developed.

I'm usually not smiling like this in the morning, I used a reference photo.
