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

Was one of these days at work yesterday! Who knows what today will bring?

Rainy days = a perfect excuse for a shedload of coffee and drawing to indulge in. :) Occurs to me I did one with the title “Laurel Weaver” close to four years ago. Not much else connects the two beyond the title or does it? I don’t know... Whatever the case, I fancied recycling and revisiting this idea somehow. Enjoy!

When I'm struggling to come up with a drawing, Lindsey draws me a starting point. It's a great exercise and so much fun.

Tidbits of things overheard in the pub earlier this week when I was short of inspiration = this.

Words of wisdom that a friend came out with during a Lord Of The Rings Extended Editions film night over the weekend jumpstarted my creative juices this time around. :-)

Having a go at something other than narwhals and belugas today... bowhead whales namely! I really like how this one turned out. :-)

Caffeine-induced crazy.

Collage time! What else is new, eh?

STARTED DOODLING ~ COULDN'T STOP

So I wanted to pay tribute to my amazing friends who get me through each and every day. Most of them don’t know I did this, they are more cartoony versions of each person. I love them so much.

Free will vs destiny

Fish. Trying to find a better angle to show more details.

Controlling the mind has never been easy. It wanders away and getting it back on track to focus on our work is near to impossible.

Well I have my ways, but you get the point.

Spooky whale time! And a touch of Mark Lanegan flavoured listening material also...

I keep coming back to this Vice headline I saw and took a screenshot of this time last week, which inspired the title of this piece. Seems like a relevant metaphor to me (and others I know) for so many reasons right now! Thankfully nothing too traumatic in my case...

It was a Damien Jurado kind of evening last night!

'tis all but a dream here...

I’m no stranger to weird dreams, and last night’s one was no exception to the rule. The doodle alone may do things *some* form of justice...
