time

Lost in thought

Shark time again!

Cut-up poetry time!

Shark witch time :-)

The afterlife can get boring sometimes so a good book can help pass the time.

Pre-Samhuinn narwhals and hairy highland cow time!

Sometimes you need a little self motivation

New sketchbook time! Calling this one “The Other Jungle Book” because a) why not? And b) I’m short of ideas for an alternative, hahaha!

Sometimes a bench to sit down on after a long hike is just enough for that part of the journey.

They tend to be, well most of the time...

Whale songs in space time? Indeed it is.

Spooky vibe time.

New Washi tape time! And Pokemon flavoured to boot :-)

New sketchbook time! Spooky vibes are a go-go as you can all see :-)

Somewhat right! Also, new Washi tape time :-)

A great deal of upheaval in my personal life, including making steps to better my mental health as well as reflecting on changes in my work life (potentially) and also my living situation, have dominated my headspace as of late. Long story short, Buddha reminding us all to still any madness in life got me to work here as did the obvious itch to get some drawing done!

I keep coming back to this Vice headline I saw and took a screenshot of this time last week, which inspired the title of this piece. Seems like a relevant metaphor to me (and others I know) for so many reasons right now! Thankfully nothing too traumatic in my case...

Hammerhead time again.

Post-work coffee shop doodling time!

Doodle time strikes again!

I generally make marks on something every day, but I'm really TRYING to do it purposefully in one single journal at a time. I also have super ADHD, which means I pretty much never go up to my actual studio and usually only use what's out on my desk, because out-of-sight-out-of-mind.

1979’s The Tin Drum is one of those films I’ve been itching to see for a long time, but haven’t got round to yet for some reason. The main character in that film’s played by a guy called David Bennent. Not a household name for most, but you’ve seen Ridley Scott’s Legend, you’ll recognise him when he played Honeythorn Gump, Tom Cruise/Jack’s elfin pal. Not sure why the idea to name this piece after D.B. occurred to me, but it did!

Sometimes I come home and I have to express myself, for better or worse. I am an outsider both in art and in my personal life. Nature of my illness.

I did these a long time ago. Some of the first portraits I ever did.The origionals that I used for reference are by an Italian artist.

A study I did a long time ago.

A Pen and Ink portrait I did a long time ago.

Lockdown makes some of us forget what good times were like before the coronavirus reared it's nasty little head, so in response we dig down into our brains for times that really mattered.

The name for this piece comes from a billboard I noticed as I was heading home from a shopping trip not too long ago, and it’s stuck with me ever since. Life in lockdown (needless to say) brings with it plenty of time for us all to learn and get creative in whatever way works best..

Once upon a time, in frosty waters...
