Experimenting with copic markers.
quite like how this came out, despite evidently being better at playing drum kits than drawing them.

I drew a distinguished fellow.

Old sketch not posted here of yours truly in festival attire.

Hi Graham,
I’m afraid I must blame you for me starting a new collection.
I stumbled across Hodori on ebay a while back, and found the two Cobi pins for €0.50 each in the window of a stamp collecting shop in Brussels a couple of weeks ago and couldn’t pass them by.
Three promotional pins of Olympic mascots. One of Hodori, a tiger, who was mascot for the Seoul summer games in 1988, and two pins of Cobi, a catalan sheepdog, who was mascot of the Barcelona games in 1992.

An early sketch of a new D&D character for an upcoming game.
A satyr warlock who’s not as cool as he assures you he is.
A Satyr with short hair, reclining in an album cover-ey kind of pose. His modesty preserved only by a guitar plectrum the artist has thoughtfully provided.

Some more watercolour practice. Tataru from FFXIV and a grumpy shark.
A watercolour and ink sketch of Tataru Taru from Final Fantasy 14. She is dresses in pink, and wiping a tear of laughter from her eye. A tiny shark being held by a human arm, looking rather grumpy about their predicament.

More watercolour practice. Final fantasy XXIV this time, Lucero my Warrior of light.
A couple of watercolour and pencil sketches of a Lalafell (basically the final fantasy 14 version of a hobbit). In typically final fantasy fashion, they are smartly dressed in a shirt and tie, wearing blue eyeshadow, and wielding a halberd.

Experimenting with some new watercolours.
Having fun so far.
A loose watercolour painting of three small red tulips, and a larger purple tulip. Two watercolour and ink drawings of bust shots of Adzo, a scruffy anthropomorphic dog, one wearing a denim vest, with a mop of shaggy hair. The other is Adzo in work mode, rather neater, wearing chef’s whites, with his hair hidden by a black chef’s cap.

I have photographed a swan.
Polaroid photographs of a swan standing next to a pond, and the decorative pedestal at the top of a staircase.

Still very much getting used to this polaroid business. But managed a half decent Desperate Dan while we had a brief bout of sunlight.
A polaroid photograph of the large bronze statue of Desperate Dan from the Dandy, which stands in Dundee city centre.

I have acquired some old cameras with which i can take photos less easily than with my phone, and at greater expense!
Joking aside i’m looking forward to taking a few shots once my film arrives.

I’ve been recovering from a gravity related mishap while bouldering, so decided to immortalise the event in my usual poor drawing.
A curly haired anthropomorphic attempting a bouldering problem, with an anxious expression on his face. The same curly haired dog sitting on a sofa, with one ankle bandaged and resting on a footstool.

Christmas has fully invaded at work. So to help preserve everyone’s sanity over the next few weeks I present Braised Leeks with Cream Sauce. Which is a nice make-ahead side dish.
A crude sketch of a dog wearing chef’s uniform desperately trying to fight off a giant turkey, which is bursting through a door. Braised leeks with cream sauce. A good side dish for entertaining, as it can be prepared ahead , and just needs to go in the oven on the day of your dinner party. You will need: A knife and chopping board. A casserole dish suitable for both the hob and the oven. A couple of saucepans. A wooden spoon. A sieve or conical strainer. Braised Leeks: 4 large leeks. 50g butter. 4 chopped cloves of garlic. 250ml chicken stock. Sprig thyme. 1 bay leaf. 125ml white wine. Salt and pepper. Method: 1. Trim and wash leeks thoroughly, cut in half lengthwise, keeping the root end attached. 2. Blanch the leeks for two minutes, then cool quickly by plunging in cold water. 3. Melt butter in casserole dish, and sweat garlic over a low heat. 4. Once the garlic has softened, add leeks to the pot in one layer, then add white wine, thyme, bay leaf, season well with salt and pepper, and add enough stock to just cover the leeks. 5. Cover and bring to the boil, then cook in the oven at 180 degrees celsius for 20 minutes. 6. Remove the thyme and bay leaf, and serve, dressed in cream sauce. Cream Sauce. 100g butter. 100g plain flour. 1 litre warm milk. 1 small onion, studded with cloves. 125ml single cream. Method. 1. Melt butter in thick bottomed pan 2. Stir in flour to form a roux, cook for a couple of minutes, stirring frequently, don’t allow the roux to colour. 3. Allow roux to cool. 4. Return the pan to a low heat, and gradually stir in the milk. 5. Add the clove-studded onion and simmer gently for 30 mins. Stir often, and make sure the sauce doesn’t catch. 6. Remove onion, and strain to remove any lumps, then add the cream to finish.

More doodles. This time accompanied by cauliflower and blue cheese soup.
A dog in chef’s uniform angrily wielding a frying pan, as sausages and fried eggs go flying through the background. Cauliflower and blue cheese soup. You will need: A large pot. Knife and chopping board A stick blender Ingredients: One onion One large, or two small cauliflower. At least 3 or 4 cloves of garlic. Vegetable stock. About 200g of stilton cheese. (Or to taste) Cooking oil of choice. Method: Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a large pot, roughly chop your onion and garlic and sauté over a medium-ish heat until they are softened, but not browned. While your onion is sweating, roughly chop your cauliflower, chuck it in the pot, and add enough vegetable stock to just barely cover the cauliflower. Bring to the boil, then simmer until the cauliflower is soft enough that a sharp knife penetrates it easily. Once all the veg are cooked, crumble in your stilton, and blend the lot thoroughly. Double check for seasoning and serve. I try not to have too much salt, so stock cubes and the cheese is enough for me, but if you are using fresh vegetable stock or not adding as much cheese as I have, you might need more salt.

I’ve been drawing a little, and thought I would sweeten the pig with a few recipes, so enjoy some shortbread!
May you have better luck than I’m having in the sketch.
