Driven by my mishearing of something Dr. David Scheel was talking about regarding the octopus Heidi he kept in his home for a yearlong period... His documentary ‘Octopus: Making Contact’ is a lovely thing worth watching I should add!

Current events mean retreating into my sketchbook is the way of things today, until it blows over(ish, emphasis on the -ish).

Decided to do something colorful to refresh my mind a bit.

This is another Stephen Gammell inspired drawing. Done with graphite, charcoal, kneeded eraser and whiteout. It ain't perfect but we gettin there!

Something simple, yet magical...definitely need to draw more kelpies here!

Been hillwalking a lot more than I used to, and it's starting to show itself in my doodles :)

An autogenerated Youtube playlist (that I’ve yet to listen to) prompted this malarkey... This narwhal needed a home too!

I do browse some weird things on places like Youtube, without a doubt! Definitely in the search of inspiration 9 out of 10 times though (as you can see)...

Sawshark symphonies and cryptic sorts.

Like Bruce from Finding Nemo, they intended on having fish tonight...they succeeded.

Another alien oddball (as per usual)!

A spot of midnight improvisation and general creative spontaneity.

Finished fairy sketch

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...

To be perfectly honest, the latest lockdown announcement here in Scotland was bound to influence my art in some form or another... Needless to say this is going to be one looooong winter, one that’ll have me blasting “Here Comes The Sun” by The Beatles once it ends, or at the very least stabilises.

Sketch of a fairy.

The race heats up!

My first attempt at drawing a piece inspired by the art in my favorite childhood book series Scary Stories to tell in the dark. I am actually rather happy with this piece even though some details are a bit off. Comments and critique always welcome. ♡♡

The best time to doodle is when u have to sit still for a few hours at a place where u can grab some paper and pen!
