Doodling in my notebook, just random things I see mainly. Don't have to be especially good! At Cropredy festival a few weeks ago there were some people in shark costumes in the crowd 😅
Doodle of two smiling sharks, one blue and one pink. The text above the sharks reads "Two sharks dancing to Richard Digance??? (yes this is real)"

This is what end of Cropredy Festival is like 😅
Scene from the sketch Dinner For One. An elderly woman called Miss Sophie is at at a fancy table while her butler James stands near her. James: By the way, the same procedure as last year, Miss Sophie? Miss Sophie: The same procedure as every year, James!

Have been at Fairport Cropredy Festival the past few days (literally chilling listening to Fairport themselves atm). So my family have been looking after my cats, and each picture Teggy looks so sad 😭

So my cat has a rather... annoying habit of jumping onto my desk during meetings and then not budging for about 20 minutes AFTER the meeting is over. So I thought, may as well draw him I guess?

What kind of question is this? Surely sexual orientation should be a separate question to ethnicity?! Plus if this is meant to focus on diaspora I imagine many diaspora don't identify strictly as Irish. So maybe a few more options than "other" could have helped?
Survey question that asks: What identity do you most strongly identify with? (Please select all that apply) - Irish (White) - Irish (Non-White) - Irish (Mixed-Race) - Irish Traveller Community - LGBTQI - Other (please specify)

Sorry I am too distracted by how this looks like Adric from Doctor Who

This is my cat, she looks like she's in a constant state of anxiety (even when she is very content and relaxed like she was in these!)

So I don't post much about my art blog (because tbh it's more like my diary than any kind of portfolio, it's a Neocities page I made myself rather than anything 'professional') but these were my two projects over the last two months and I'm quite proud of them

So, in Frebruary I was working on a piece inspired by the late Qinni. I have tentatively titled it 'A Welsh Rose's Heart'.

I wrote more about it in my blog: caru-celf-menyw.neocities.org/blog/februar...
Watercolour and gouache painting of a brunette woman with teary green eyes, her mouth is covered by a white rose and thorns. Her heart, which is the bulb of several daffodils, is broken

Tegwyn is so cute 🥺 She just... flops into place sometimes (nevermind her brother lurking in the background 😂)

So over the last month, I did this self portrait (I'm not uploading a comparison photo - you will just have to take My Word For It that I look like this). I have titled it 'The Nettles Do Not Make Me Bleed'

I wrote more about it on my blog: caru-celf-menyw.neocities.org/blog/january...

Been drawing my cat 🥰 She's hard to capture properly but the thing to remember is her cheeks!

The Frida Khalo BARBIE doll is probably the absolute nadir
A Barbie doll based on the likeness of Frida Khalo. As is typical for Barbie, her physical features (while vaguely recognisable) are very airbrushed to look more conventionally attractive (she has no upper lip hair and her eyebrows are much further apart than in reality)

My baby boy is such a pain but I truly love him with all my heart ❤️

Day 20
The Stone Prince, by Fiona Patton. Subtitle reads “The magic of the Flame — would it give Demnor power over his world… or utterly consume him?” Cover is an illustration of a young man with long red hair in a blend of a blue Tudor era nobleman’s tunic and a brown tartan sash. He is looking determined and holding a sword. Behind him, emerging from flames is a wolf like creature.

Day 19
A Brother’s Price, by Wen Spencer. Title is at top of cover and author name is at bottom of cover, both are on a white background framing a scene in the centre. Text above title reads ‘“Don’t plan on getting anything else done if you start a Wen Spencer novel; they are exceedingly hard to put down!” — Nebula award winning author CATHERINE ASSARO’ The scene in the centre depicts a young man with mid length dark hair holding a young woman with long red in a bridal carry. They are by a river. The lighting is hazy and orange. (This scene gives an inaccurate portrayal of the book as this scene actually occurs very differently)
