I love a bit of detail, it's hard to choose, but I think this is likely the most detailed/most objects I've got in a painting (that isn't under NDA anyway!)

Maybe aliens are your thing? I have some naughty space pirates who have been up to all sorts of mischief in this book. Perfect for the sci-fi lover that you care for. Last post for UK is MONDAY 15th!

#aliens #alienbook #alienoutlaws #artbook #xmasgift
a hardback book with a toad-like lumpy alien on the cover. He is in profile and has his eyes closed and a big grin. His brain is visible through a big transparent dome on his head. The title of the book is 'WANTED - cosmic outlaws, space pirates & intergalactic scallywags' a purple-headed alien with four black round eyes, a big cheesy grin and pointed ears. The top of his head is also very tall and is red. He's wearing a green cape with a tall collar. a very smug looking alien in a green polo-neck space-suit and purple gloves. He has a brown fluffy head with big bulbous eyes half closed with a suspicious expression. He also has a black tuft of wispy hair on top of his head and some black tufty whiskers where his chin should be (he has no chin).

Totally had to copy the alignment chart I saw Simon's Cat doing. My little monsters are ideal for it! Dave, of course, is chaotic evil.
Enjoy!

I still love this painting. A bit looser than I normally go for on finish, but there's something about this blue sea monster that I'm very fond of.

painting of a blue sea monster with flippers and lots of growths around its head and four eyes (you can only see two though it's from one side). Lots of sharp teeth in a pink mouth.

From the video:

Since 1980:
57% of cabinet ministers were privately educated
only 27% went to comprehensives
Eton alone has produced 20 prime ministers
43% of top editors & journalists went to private school
70-80% of billionaires start life as children of millionaires!

They're 'aving a larf, surely. Pantone 'colour of the year' #pantonecolouroftheyear #pantone #nocolour
screenshot: A Whisper of Tranquility and Peace in a Noisy World Introducing Pantone Color of the Year 2026, PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer, a lofty white that serves as a symbol of calming influence in a society rediscovering the value of quiet reflection. A billowy white imbued with serenity, PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer encourages true relaxation and focus, allowing the mind to wander and creativity to breathe, making room for innovation. Similar to a blank canvas, Cloud Dancer signifies our desire for a fresh start. Peeling away layers of outmoded thinking, we open the door to new approaches. An airy white hue, PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer opens up space for creativity, allowing our imagination to drift so that new insights and bold ideas can emerge and take shape. Laurie Pressman Vice President, Pantone Color Institute At this time of transformation, when we are reimagining our future and our place in the world, PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer is a discrete white hue offering a promise of clarity. The cacophony that surrounds us has become overwhelming, making it harder to hear the voices of our inner selves. A conscious statement of simplification, Cloud Dancer enhances our focus, providing release from the distraction of external influences.

'Glaurmir The Ancient' is my favourite painting I've made this year. It's a pretty special piece so if you wanted a really dreamy and calm dragon painting for your wall, then you could splash out. I can offer layaway payments over 3 months for this!
