doodlin

Finally had a day to relax. Couldn't help but doodle something

As far as things that I can’t seem to shake off are concerned, it’s this fact that a place like Edinburgh where I live is akin to a village where everyone (artist folk in particular) seems to know everyone, and the patterns or quirks that emerge from this said thought process. In most collectives I’m a part of and/or are associated with, there’s what seems like an endless sense of crossover and overlap with fellow artists etc for lack of better words, which is lovely as it is insane... you know? All in all though, even if it drives me mad it does so in a strangely positive way and I’ve learned to live with that. So yeah, make of that what you will. :-)

It was a Damien Jurado kind of evening last night!

This is just a doodle, nothing special. Basically Tam and Keefe in a nutshell. I am THIS CLOSE to finishing Unlocked, which makes me sad and happy at the same time. Sad, because I am going to have to wait who knows how long for the next book to come out. Happy because I can now look at and watch whatever I want without any spoilers. So yeh. If you need something to do, go read Keeper!

Looking at some of John R. Dilworth's works , I drew this "ugly" yet dainty dog. Wild colors, man!

Krista's prompt: Juggler

When your girlfriend gets you more Pokemon plushies and you’re an artist… you know exactly what to do!

Lindsey's prompt: Harp

After a productive couple of days, it’s a Mark Lanegan and manga kind of night here.

Papercuts and fineliner in my A4 sized sketchbook.

digital sketch gestures and lines

Getting a little wavy psychedelic with this one!

Lines study. Daler downey ink on paper.

Another seal of approval? *ba-dum-tss*

Cat,Bat and Volf (a vampire wolf) enjoy a sweet (and healthy) treat

For @Ridge. Their cut hot dog character.

Here’s my Christmas doodles.

Getting more detailed with this pattern study, so this definitely wasn't a quickie! Gold Posca pen stream of consciousness doodling.

Sketchbook drawing. I thought it captured his pain.

Lindsey and I watched Princess and the Frog

Figured I’d try my hand at something fan art flavoured for this one… namely in the form of my favourite tiny fictional character, Kirby! I can’t ascertain when exactly I became a fan of the Kirby franchise, although playing Super Smash Bros as a young boy may have something to do with that. Whatever the case, I got hooked on the pink (or blue in some cases) puffball very quickly!
