April 7th is my birthday. The day has been usually a low-key affair, with exceptions here and there over the years. I spent it keeping busy and creative, as is custom most days whenever I'm not out working or socialising. Roll on 27!
Always a weirdly beautiful moment when you butcher your spelling momentarily, only to discover you’ve inadvertently found the very artwork title for you were looking for...hehehe.
“I'm the only guy I know who died in a f---ing Muppet Movie." - Billy Connolly.
New brush pens and washi tape from Edinburgh Art Shop fuelled something a bit different… fan art of The Big Yin himself!
Drifloon fan art time!
“Described as a spirit formed from people and Pokémon and known in folktales as a "Signpost for Wandering Spirits". It reportedly tugs on children's hands to steal them, though it often gets pulled around instead, and children who mistake it for a balloon and hold on may go missing.”
Where will my curiosity take me, you say? Down the road of some Curious George fan art this time around!
Also, one way to honour another legend too with this here quote :-)
“Everybody should keep some grip on childhood, even as a grown-up.” - Tim Curry (1946 - 2026).
Muppet fan art no. 2 today! I adored the Muppet Babies growing up and this video tape, well, how the hell it never wore out is beyond me.
If only the rest of the tv series was an easy find…
About a year and a bit ago, I bought myself a copy of the very first Miffy book by Dick Bruna from Paper Tiger because as I often say, why not? And as many of you know I’m still a big kid at heart, hahaha.
More to the point, the style’s similar to my own and naturally… inspiration intensified today!
It’s taken me until the ripe old age of 33 to do a Jungle Book tribute, in spite of it being my all-time favourite film along with The Mask and Baloo the Bear (along with Donald Duck) my favourite Disney character but alas… better late to the party than not show up at all, am I right?
