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

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.

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/

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!

This fish swam through a portal and witnessed the meaning of everything.

Shawn wins best in show at the man-dog world championship.

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

Look at these little sweeties eating their favorite meals.

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!

Upon looking out...the last time...

Inktober “Husky.” I’ve lost track of the days at this point, so I'll just Inktober through November.

Says it all and yet, nothing.

The start of some waves and clouds. A little too symmetrical for me, I need to work through it a little more.

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

Art therapy is good therapy.

Working on this save the date makes me super happy.

The hangover song, heheheh.

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

Channelling my inner Trekkie, as it says on the tin here...

Something all over the shop.

I think I'm getting the hang of painting florals with gouache. It helped to decide on a palette and pre-mix the colors.
