An older piece but a perennial favourite.

'La même histoire'
Ink on Moleskine sketchbook paper, approximately 127 × 208 mm, 2018.

#MerMay
Ink drawing of a mermaid sitting atop a perpendicular, tree trunk-like rock in the water. Her long hair trails right down to her seat and obscures her face entirely. Her head is bowed, and there is a strong suggestion that she may be weeping.

Don't be dismayed by your Spotifywrapped 'listening age.' Mine would be about 400 years old on average.

A #PudgyHorse tribute to the Lascaux cave paintings, painted with the Strata Trio watercolours made by @thoughtsupnorth.bsky.social from Cretaceous rocks from the Albertan badlands. From 2020.

Might as well post this one as it's been stolen and sold on Australian Temu. 🙃

#ArtAdventCalendar
Painting of my character, Pudgy Horse, a horse of baroque type appearance with luxuriant mane and tail, and deliberately exaggerated proportions, including short, slender legs with dainty hooves and an extremely generous girth; here painted in tribute to one of the famous horses in the Lascaux cave paintings using similar colours and simplified shapes.

From 2016, another piece featuring my favourite 'thing under tree' motif, 'White Hart.' Ink, 85 x 125 mm.

Trivia: the stag here combines features of both the red and fallow deer to suggest a mythological creature rather than a real animal.

“I think we’ve got enough hawthorn berries for the jam now, what’s next?”
“Cheese! All the cheese!”

Mouse is hoping for a home with someone who also buys ALL the cheese for Christmas.
Badger says they’ll bring hawthorns for jam to their new home

I've been staring at this picture for a few days (using my old work as reference for new work) (how did I do that thing?) (lol)
Anyway you can stare at it for a bit now, also.

A wee Shackling in the garden.
(cosclay, watercolor, glass, wire, acrylic)
A photo on the mossy floor of a leafy garden. The photo focuses on a purple and green hut with an eyeball that stands on two orange-ish bird legs with purple toes. It's a tiny Baba Yaga shackling

I keep coming back to this. There’s something about it that’s delicate and strong at the same time. Sensitive and defiant. Subtle and bold. The effect is enchanting.

Artwork of a nuthatch from about 6 months ago :) –
Pencil on grey toned paper, painted over with acrylics, and finished with some colour brushes in photoshop.
A practice artwork of a nuthatch. It is a pencil drawing on grey toned paper, overpainted with acrylics loosely, and finished off with some coloured brushes in photoshop. The bird is looking to the left of the image. I have added some turquoise tones over the top in photoshop. There is a terracotta colour acrylic background.

Maaaang, the S shape that twists forward and then up and the way you managed to make something so balanced and interesting with the fox smack in the middle kills me. Composition black magic.

Silhouette illustration in black ink. Against a snowy, forested landscape, on a snow-covered, raised bank by a thin trickle of a stream, a fox sits beneath a bare tree, looking up at and speaking to a crow perched on a branch. The Crow carries a piece of cheese in its beak.

Ol' Salty, Pirate Saltasaurus. A bit of silliness which became a personal favourite.

Sepia ink over blue pencil on Strathmore grey toned paper, 110 × 143 mm, from 2013.

#ArtAdventCalendar
Drawing of a Saltasaurus with its back to the viewer in three-quarter view, wearing a voluminous sash around its waist, in which is stuck a profusion of swords whose hilts are carved as the heads of various dinosaurs and pterosaurs. It also wears a tricorn hat trimmed with long feathers and carries a spear.
