It’s been a while since I did some Pokemon fan art, thankfully my girlfriend knows my tastes in plushies all too well!

Lindsey's prompt: Pascal

Lindsey and I went to an oddities expo today. Decided to draw her as a witch haha playing with some new techniques

Grandma's prompt: St. Louis Arch

I had this bizarre dream recently that I saw some maniac driving in circles around my neighbourhood in what looked like a Reliant Robin, ready to crash into whatever they could at any given moment… yes, my mind (awake or asleep) works in weird ways but it gives me ideas so, hurray?

Just some fanart from one of my favorite scenes of Silo with Rebecca Ferguson

4 year old Henry engaged fully with thick applications of watercolor and oil pastels. He said it was a stormy sea with a small boat. This was at the onset of the pandemic, when we were all a bit uncertain and confined to our homes. I was reminded of an insight by Kierkegaard written in the early 1800s: “When the sailor is out on the sea and everything is changing around him, as the waves are continually being born and dying, he does not stare into the depths of these, since they vary. He looks up at the stars. And why? Because they are faithful – as they stand now, they stood for the patriarchs, and will stand for coming generations. By what means then does he conquer changing conditions? Through the eternal: By means of the eternal, one can conquer the future, because the eternal is the foundation of the future.”

Look at this cutey—a shoebill stork done in watercolors. I wanted to do something different from botanicals but still practice simple watercolors.

Just sitting, listening to podcasts and doodling.

Learning to see through drawing. It is a form of therapy.

Lindsey's prompt: 4 Calling birds

Merry Christmas, a quick (60 min) colored pencil piece from this morning.

My only niece's 1st birthday was a few days ago. I decided to start a tradition of drawing her every year for her birthday as special uncle presents. Here is her first one. Her favorite movie right now is Monsters University

Space whale one of many…

Watercolour of a Grevillea species that I found on a day trip Margaret River.

Watercolour painting of a Prickly Hakea. I started drawing different plants last month from the area where I live. This month I am turning them into watercolours, with the Hakea being one of the first.

Taking a landscape course and had to do a few cloud studies; this is the first. Rebelle 7 Pro

This Banksia nut was found in southern Western Australia, one of the many varieties of Banksia found in Australia.

The forest nearby is full of baby banksias growing in poor gravelly/sandy soil which they do better in. The little one was growing on the edge of a gravel road.

The nearby pine tree has dropped quite a few pine cones, all in different states of decay. I enjoy looking at the different shapes, sizes and colours of each cone, each with its unknown story.

Something pertaining to twins and symmetry (figuratively speaking)…

My first attempt at a concertina birthday card. While simple to make, it can be a bit fiddly and getting the proportions and placement of objects right for each layer is important so that everything can be seen once the layers are overlapped. It reminds me of printing processes, where each layer is gradually added. It was quite an enjoyable process.

Tucker Mandarin is very happy with his portrait! :-)

Abstract line drawing while thinking about the different rock formations found in caves, cliffs, hills and those in my rock collection.

A drawing-in-progress of native flora near my home and in my garden. The Lilly Pilly fruits will be made into jam while the Grevilleas provide food for the bees.

Narwhal time!
