pen and ink

Had to squeeze in some drawing earlier on yesterday before editing the photos I captured at Friday night’s gig with Ozric Tentacles and friends. Fantastic stuff that was!

Bear was most respected animal in Finnish mythology It was born in the skies on the shoulders of the seven stars of the Great Bear From there, the bear was let down to earth in a golden cradle with silver straps, into the forest

Some dub reggae on the radio may have swayed stuff tonight...

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

This is my version of clouds with a personality.

This is an origional piece I did from my own photo. It is a pen and ink drawing depicting the wild nature of the place.

A ship at sea I did as a study. When I was learning to draw I reproduced orter artists work.THe orgional belongs to someone else.

I hope I have got the atmosphere of the town across.

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.

I have a hard time trying to decide what my "style" is. This comes closest I think. Plus I LOVE drawing chickens. These are two of my own grumpy ladies.

I think I've used this festive hangover as an excuse for (what seems) a little too long now, hahahaha! Back to business...

Greek mythology around the crow, its feathers, Apollo and Coronis.

It seems I’ve just finished this drawing at the point where we should in real life be keeping as much distance as possible away from each other!

I wanted to cover up a crappy scribble that was on this page, so I just covered it in black and used a white ink pen to doodle over it

Another vision from imagination .

Not a famous quote per se (as requested for this week's prompt), but my own little phrase I often think about and consider.

Tiny starflowers under trees are one part of macig at Finnish woods. This works point is more at illusion than realism
