Most Faves

Ten days back (April 7th) was my 30th birthday! Been up to my eyeballs in photography projects since then and only just got some breathing space to draw... always good to be back after a break, however big or small.

Love seeing all the ways the Dutch transport their four legged friends around town and this cargo bike is one of my favourites.

Uh character I made ._.

This sketch is supposed to symbolise the struggle we all have to accept our responsibilities at the cost of our own well-being. It's easy to ignore our problems when there are so many forms of escapism.

REMEMBER WHEN

J'adore cette période de l'année pour toutes ces jolies couleurs, les petites soirées blotties sous le plaide avec mon thé !

This is the first oil painting I did. This was done back in 2018 when I was severely depressed and have recently picked it up again.

Painting practice with textures in acrylic

This is another illustration with someone just sitting outside enjoying the day or night. This is not someone existing it’s just some female character. Great to make this more elaborate in terms of styles while adding beautiful effects.

Silly old mother Gertrude and her dead mans brains.

Taking inspiration from Damien Jurado’s latest album. Suffice to say, it’s a good one!

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