Another seal of approval? *ba-dum-tss*

The French Open on while painting.

It totally bypassed my mind that last night I would be off to see Gary Numan with my uncle. The perks of having both an over-active work life and a social one too...

Taking a break from photo editing to get creative in other areas... Over the Beltane weekend, my girlfriend and I watched the British dub of Urusei Yatsura over on YouTube. Yes, I assure anyone not aware, such a thing exists and my word is it hilarious (but not for the easily offended! Oh and while, I'm here, may the 4th be with you :-)

Phew! What a fortnight it's been here. Been engaging more in my photography as of late, but the day-job's had me on 'go' mode all Easter quite frankly. Thank the maker for those moments to yourself when you can just.. well, indulge really.

Not sure if this what was meant for this weeks prompt, but I've been drawing a lot of eyes lately.

My quirks and silliness aside, can you tell I'm not the April fool's kind of guy?

Was initially going to try coffee painting with this one, but that clearly wasn’t happening... Hence the mentioning of divorce here, it being my expectations being split from the reality this time around. Still, things worked out in the end!

Something warm coloured for the incoming spring. Also befitting of the feelings a lot of folks in my life (and myself included) seem to be feeling right now! Much cobweb detangling figuratively speaking this month past, that much is true...

Macrocosm: the whole of a complex structure, especially the world or the universe. Acrylic on wood panel.

I’m no stranger to weird dreams, and last night’s one was no exception to the rule. The doodle alone may do things *some* form of justice...

And that concludes another sketchbook! New one incoming...

Rainy days = a perfect excuse for a shedload of coffee and drawing to indulge in. :) Occurs to me I did one with the title “Laurel Weaver” close to four years ago. Not much else connects the two beyond the title or does it? I don’t know... Whatever the case, I fancied recycling and revisiting this idea somehow. Enjoy!

I do generally put pen (or some kind of tool), to paper (or some kind of surface), every day, but I'm really TRYING to do it purposefully in one singular location (journal). Here is a successful attempt from that particular day. I'm also super lazy, which means I never go up to my actual studio and only use what's out on my computer desk. (Including the "waste" page because I often like it as much/more.)

My husband is finishing "...just one more episode of Law & Order: SVU" but Jane needs sleep... (shared notebook with my grandkids, hence the always-present random marks.)

August it seems brings out the sluggish side of me...whatever the case, I'm back at it for now folks! :)

Ravenstag sketch inspired by the Hannibal series

Thank the maker for weekends past, hangovers and random observations that inspire.

Observation while waiting.

What happens if you really only look in the mirror, and not at the paper?

The perfect date does exist - but you have to put up with his rascally pets!

He was aggressive.

Shark time again.

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

Dinosaur doodling is the way of things today.

Fantasy (of the more pronounced variety) is the order of things here.
