So many things going on in the world, I thought I would get back to my calm and draw something. I was hoping to draw something uplifting in November but the news have really knocked me out (sigh). Therefore, there is no better time to draw I tiny plant. This one was drawn on aContinue reading “New Year, New Paper, New Subject”

Sexy Alpaca
A while ago I was in Ireland and was told by a near-family member that they wanted to buy an alpaca, more as a pet than anything else. Apparently their presence scares away predators. It makes you wonder what sheep make of all of this. Do they know the alpaca is not like them orContinue reading “Sexy Alpaca”
Health
Yes, as a self-conscious person I order a McMuffin when I go to the old golden arches and immediately look down at my belly in shame. Nevertheless, I am undeterred. I make it a point to order combo #3, but ever since I watched one of those damn health documentaries on Netflix I haven’t beenContinue reading “Health”
Soccer Mom
No one is more surprised by the length of time it took me to get back to this blog, the fact that I got back at all and that the quality of this image is so shit, than me! It’s an almost brand new scanner, unused for the last [so long ago I’m actually doingContinue reading “Soccer Mom”

So, here you have it: distracted teenager asking distracted question. This took a few drafts and I opted for no shadow just to see whatContinue reading “Blind Work”
Apéritifs
So it took a really really long time to come back to this, eh? My original plan was to return to the blog at the end of February, but obviously that took a turn. While I work out the finer details of my Dr. Sun/Snail extravaganza, I’m dipping my toe back in with single-panel cartoons.Continue reading “Apéritifs”
Watercolour and ink tests
I can’t say my week has been very productive (or maybe it’s been more productive than I realize?). I’m working on a side project and wanted to know what combination of ink or pencil would work well with watercolour paints vs. watercolour pencil crayons. So far, after consulting with a freelance art critic (my mother),Continue reading “Watercolour and ink tests”
