surrealism

For whenever you feel knocked down, but know you’ll be up again in no time at all.

Dabbling in something new and experimental(ish) because, why not?

Keep calm and carry on.

The end of one sketchbook, with the beginning of another to arrive shortly!

Thinking ahead, as you do.

Even if it is (in my case at the least) just doodling away to the point of allsorts in the hopes it’ll make at least one person a) happy b) perked or c) amused, do good and be good in wake of the current shitstorms in the making. More for another day...

Overheard the title for this while out with some friends this past weekend. Fun times so they were...

I know it’s a little early to start thinking about the next decade, but I needed the inspiration...

Friday nights make good gig nights. This was inspired by one such event that happened not too long ago. :)

I’ve encountered an awful lot of reprobates in my life so far. This piece is dedicated to a particular group of them...

During the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, I'm inundated with flyers. A bit of a burden to some, but in my case they have their uses...

Inspired by a very drum and music heavy weekend that's just left us. Cracking times had by all I'd say!

Of all the dreams I’ve had in my life, the one I had back in July of 2007 as a 14 year old seems to have stuck somewhere in my memory the longest. It involved some airy-fairy death and rebirth of the world and it all got very 2001-sy real quick. Here’s a retelling of that story...ish.

Long story short I needed a title, and prior to that my phone opted to have some sort of techno-stroke earlier in the day, and I took inspiration from this. So, yeah...

Quite often I dream up strange word combinations. The title for this one’s yet another example of such activities...

Yes, the titles will remain forever random.

A spot of Easter Monday improv.

When both an M. Night Shyamalan film and a controversial German novel inspire you at the same time...

One with all the festivities in mind.

Two strangers passing in the night, such fun times.

Four Tet's good for my creativity, no doubt about it.

Painted my watercolor paint palette as colorful trees and ink leaves

I didn't count how many but I painted some delightful crows I've seen around Los Angeles: "Birds Of Paradise"

It was a gloomy day so I redecorated it

Imagining a cover design for an imaginary self help book. Case in point. LOL. // Playing with text positioning - putting "out" outside of the cloud text bubble for literal applied meaning.

Word play. Trying out a new digital illustration software…

Pun play to encourage positive body image. Freckles, moles, skin tags. Love them or hate them, they are part of our body. As one who enjoys stargazing, I think that the dots on our body resembles stars in the night sky. Truly beautiful. Sometimes when I’m bored, I play connect the dots on my limbs, and they do resemble constellations.
