we

And into July we are, at last!

Finally got round to watching Hunt For The Wilderpeople, after eons of procrastinating over doing so, and was well chuffed at how great it was! Gave me some much needed inspiration for some art as well, always a bonus. Can see what the Deadpool 2 guys saw in Julian Dennison that’s for sure, and of course Sam Neill was brilliant as well. Can’t be forgetting Taika Waititi either for directing it! Excellent job from all in my opinion :)

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

As we venture out again...

I was at the beach last week and did a lot of flower drawings. Here is one I'm trying to work out.

floral pattern with big orange blooms and smaller red and white flowers

little hand drawn yellow and white floral pattern

Acrylic on cradled board

I miss having old-school, beautifully fucked up dreams that make zero sense whatsoever. One I had earlier this week met those standards of surrealism and more!

This piece is inspired by Mental Health Awareness Week that’s just left us. Belated and as cryptic as things might be (as usual) here in Bleu’s world, better late to the party than never right?

How I feel before the first sip... second pic is my daughter’s coffee painting - she seems to have followed her stream of consciousness better than me

Whalesongs to round the week off (as usual).

Welcome to mars from the welcoming committee.

This snail found its happy place. I hope that you find yours!

Inspired by the landscape of Cars Land and named for the Cozy Cone Hotel. If you know, you know.

First attempt at some flowers.

A spot of midnight improvisation and general creative spontaneity.

Sleep well David Bowie, and thanks for all the inspiration! Saw this comment on one of Iggy Pop’s music videos via YouTube and had to create something based around it, spelling mistakes and all...

New year, similar kind of tricks. Hope it’s treating you all well so far!

Based on a photograph of a hibiscus flower enjoying its last day in the garden before being brought back home before the Canadian fall and winter. I imported the photo in Procreate and the rest is history.

Whenever I’m channel surfing, I often find myself stumbling into a film midway through it’s running time, and tend to stick around if there’s elements that pique my curiosity and just catch my eye etc. My Girl 2, of all films, was one of them this time around. A line about “barbaric customs” or roundabouts prompted me to pick up my drawing kit...and here we are!
