RIP Mani. Contributed to the raw fuel of my teenage passions in the 90s.
Always had a soft spot for the trippy mess of the Primal Scream Vanishing Point album.
You can’t go back but you can always appreciate

Somehow we're most of the way through November?

I guess I can officially mention the 'C' word, but if you know a pet lover who would love a unique portrait of their dog, cat, or even horse, I've opened a few pet portrait slots for the festive period!

More details on my website, see link in bio.

Some advice from a couple of years ago that I still think most creative people need to hear --
Don't put down your own work. Plenty of people want to devalue you and the things you Make. Don't help them do it.

My sister (who isn’t much of a reader) recently told me she’s keen to read more supernatural horror, and she’d rather read work on the shorter side (novella / short novel / anthologies). Does anyone have any recs?
Especially:
- supernatural
- fast paced and punchy
- no SA pls
- character driven

Still makes me chuckle…
Miriam Margolyes on The Age of Innocence: ‘I said to Mr Scorsese ‘Why do you have so many English actors in this? Why are you making a film about posh types when your milieu has always been the criminal gangs of New York?’ And he said ‘Because I’m interested in brutality.’

We lived in a pub when I was growing up and when I was 3 (50 years ago!) we had someone in to draw the pub for a business card. I sat next to him and watched him draw every line. I was transfixed and it was a huge inspiration for me. I’ve dreamt about owning that drawing for years…

The real issue isn’t immigration, it’s the feedback loop: platforms amplify anxiety → voters feel it → politicians chase it → hollow policy follows. Until we break that cycle, we won’t get functional decisions or functional democracy.

My life has been somewhat erratic over the last few months and I have not had a great deal of time in my workshop and this time is certainly precious at the moment. But I have managed to immerse myself in the process of creating to make a few pieces for Old Chapel Gallery, Herefordshire.

i just read something about grief from C.S. Lewis and his book, “A Grief Observed”

basically, when someone you love dies, it isn’t just them that you miss, but the parts of yourself that person brought out of you that can never be brought out again.

i feel that with my dad.

I think I'm going to be opening up for commissions in the next couple weeks. Here's one I did almost a year ago. The request was "Darkwing Duck vs. Duckula."
Darkwing Duck, Gosalyn, Launchpad, and Morgana stand in a circular stone room, with an open, empty coffin. Darkwing holds a mallet and a carrot. Dangermouse and Penfold stand by. There is a staircase rising above them, and Count Duckula is descending it, grinning. His shadow rises up on the wall in the shape of a bat.

Sketchbook warm up stuff with felt tip Fudenosuke pen, and a cool fountain pen I found at The Dollar Store (!)
Montage of black and white ink drawing of a woman with a scarf, light jacket, and sunglasses (looks like she might be at the beach), a shaggy-haired blond man in some sort of spacy, tight body suit, a boy wearing short pants, suspenders, and black socks, sleepy-looking guy with dark shaggy hair, sideburns and a moustache, a man with dark hair and white hair at temples, a dark-haired woman with a leather choker on her neck and a shirt with a large pointed collar, a guy with a dark sleeveless shirt that also has a turtle neck collar pulled up to cover his face below his eyes, and he's also wearing a circular pyramid hat (also known in DEVO vernacular as a spud with an energy dome).

Glazing in watercolour is time-consuming. Though that's perhaps a redundant explanation, given that everything is time-consuming when I attempt it. 😮‍💨🙁😑
