Work in progress ✨ I had a bit of a rough week so had to take a bit of a break from creating. Today I'm pushing through and letting inking lift my mood again 🌘

A charcoal drawing on toned paper I did of a photograph I took of my friend's daughter. The angle is from below, and the lighting is creating subtle eerie shadows. I wanted a macabre effect to this art, it is unclear if this is a floating head... and also her eyes are translucent, so she appears in a trance. There are mysterious marking down the side of her cheek. Close up pencil drawing of an eye looking to it's left/straight forward, with what looks like spiders legs crawling out from the bottom lid. There appears to be bits of spider web around the eye. I wanted to create the effect of a sinister symbiotic relationship. The 'host' looks strangely complicit. The artwork is entitled 'Home'. Pencil and charcoal portrait of agent cooper from twin peaks. The light source is from the viewers right, and casting strong shadows to the right of his face (viewer's left). Black and white. Graphite pencil drawing + watercolour on toned paper of a close up of a woman's face. She is in profile, only her nose and mouth is visible. She appears to have quite a sharp tooth. I have added colour tones in photoshop. Her nose and lips have a reddish tone, almost like blood. She has a scar/cut on her cheek. The art is called 'Drained'.

It will never stop being strange to me how no one can do a good film adaptation of Wuthering Heights. There's always this focus on it being the greatest love story, when really it's a book about deep pain, trauma, revenge and cruelty.

Sad celestial sheep girl was initially created as a tiny ink sketch in a corner of a page and I decided she deserved to be larger and more detailed ✨🎀

A black and white ink drawing - a profile of a girl with flowing hair that curls at the ends, she has a sheep horn poking out from her hair where her ear would be. She is surrounded by a night sky, stars and the Aries constellation in the top left corner. The image is framed with an illustrated border of grass, stars, moons and daisies.

Wassailing wasn’t just singing. It was a winter blessing for orchards, where people toasted trees with cider and hung bits of bread for the robins. A good harvest began with a good song. #FolkloreThursday

My first home-grown pomegranate ✨

I didn't actually know when it would be ready to pick and then it burst open so I figured it was time to give it a taste (delicious btw)
