journal

Taking a break from photo editing to get creative in other areas... Over the Beltane weekend, my girlfriend and I watched the British dub of Urusei Yatsura over on YouTube. Yes, I assure anyone not aware, such a thing exists and my word is it hilarious (but not for the easily offended! Oh and while, I'm here, may the 4th be with you :-)

Phew! What a fortnight it's been here. Been engaging more in my photography as of late, but the day-job's had me on 'go' mode all Easter quite frankly. Thank the maker for those moments to yourself when you can just.. well, indulge really.

My quirks and silliness aside, can you tell I'm not the April fool's kind of guy?

Something warm coloured for the incoming spring. Also befitting of the feelings a lot of folks in my life (and myself included) seem to be feeling right now! Much cobweb detangling figuratively speaking this month past, that much is true...

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...

When your girlfriend knows about your Washi tape obsession, and gifts you accordingly come Valentine's Day... Also, film logo inspiration!

I generally make marks on something every day, but I'm really TRYING to do it purposefully in one single journal at a time. I also have super ADHD, which means I pretty much never go up to my actual studio and usually only use what's out on my desk, because out-of-sight-out-of-mind.

And that concludes another sketchbook! New one incoming...

Collage time! What else is new, eh?

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!

I do generally put pen (or some kind of tool), to paper (or some kind of surface), every day, but I'm really TRYING to do it purposefully in one singular location (journal). Here is a successful attempt from that particular day. I'm also super lazy, which means I never go up to my actual studio and only use what's out on my computer desk. (Including the "waste" page because I often like it as much/more.)

Saturday night doodle-fest/collage-fest/general art party here. :)

Shark time, again.

August it seems brings out the sluggish side of me...whatever the case, I'm back at it for now folks! :)

Shark time again.

Dinosaur doodling is the way of things today.

Fantasy (of the more pronounced variety) is the order of things here.

Nothing much to add here really (for now)...

Cryptically does it... A narwhal swims around who-knows-what-it-all-means.

Repeated psych-folk listenings/last night’s drunken pretensions informed a misspelling of things or two...

Seals and clocks = an intriguing combo I’d say.

Back to more surreal programming.

Possibly inspired by current events.

The final page in my current sketchbook! Stay tuned after the break folks.

Something unicorn-shaped(ish).

New art supplies! Of course, I don’t need an excuse to get to work but if I had to pick a favourite then that’s my one, without a doubt.

I often have weird dreams that inspire my artwork, and that one I had last night where I took over a jungle (or was it a forest? I don’t know) sure got me inspired.
