I generally make marks on something 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.

Taking some inspiration from Robert Louis Stevenson whilst throwing in a touch of my own madness too!

Many beginnings. Beginning 2. Felix always ate bananas with a spoon. * Starting is easy, it's the middle that is often a muddle. And I won't even mention the endings. Here are some beginnings for children stories that flitter through my head. https://www.instagram.com/p/COiHs1EBoqf/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

6x6in, acrylic on canvas, completed in 3 days. No name, no identification, just a date. It's neither here nor there.

13-year old Morrison probably got a bloody eye due fighting cruel bullies at least before heading off to juvi.(I forgot to draw his freckles :o)

Pencil/Colored Pencils Drawing

More Kirby! Because when the pen is just as mighty as his sword, you know what needs to be done :-)

Acrylic on canvas

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

Listening to Megumi Nagai talk and getting inspired. It was a wonderful show! It's up until June.

Giving Rebelle 5 Pro a test run

An underated but interesting supervillain I painted,he has a rather surprised look. painting the eyes wasn't simple but I enjoyed doing my first character painting.

This started as a pen line drawing (with Skura Pigma micron pen) which I then painted with Dr PH Martin's Hydrus watercolors. They are fun and very bright. This is on Strathmore 300 11x17 Bristol paper.

It's just one of those days for him.

This is a little collage (did you know Maxfield Parrish invented collage, not Picasso?) of a characters from one of my children's books. I wondered if this would inspire a book. Not yet.

Take the moon with the teeth. Tomar o ceo co' as mãos. Idiotisms and Proverbs from "English as She is Spoke" by Jose da Fonseca and Pedro Carolina.

Inspired by lockdown dinner times and trying to be healthier

Our rooster was killed by a weasel while defending his hens a few years ago, so this fellow was referenced from various on-line photos. He's drawn with colored pencils on Strathmore 400 Smooth Bristol board paper.

Painted supawood cut out. On the other side is a realistic version of the same cat

I found out recently that a good friend of mine's dog passed away. I didn't know how to react so I drew this for her. Ellie was a great dog who loved people and adventures. She's not gone. She's just on a new adventure, making new friends.

Graham Greene (1904–1991) In 1968, an interviewer asked if he was “a nine-till-five man.” “No,” Greene replied. “Good heavens, I would say I was a nine-till-a-quarter-past-ten man.” - From Daily Rituals: How Artists Work by Mason Currey #dailyrituals #inktober #GrahamGreene #goals @masoncurrey

(Gel Fineliner on A5 Paper) An artist isn't being stroppy when they don't want to do any work. It's literally because they "can't be arsed!"
