Some asemic writing from my sketchbook.
I read an essay on it in the excellent Plain Text magazine, from Plain Form, and I'm feeling inspired.

Some sketches of forests, with a few additions by my son.
Inspired by Maurice Sendak, of course, and David McKee. I often find that turning to illustration from kids books is eye opening.

Practicing blackletter in my sketchbook. I'm a long way off being a calligrapher, but as someone with historically poor handwriting, I'm pretty proud.

Not an ideal set-up, on the kitchen table. But it works for now! Scooped up the drawing board second-hand last year and it is already my pride and joy.
I'd love to have more space to work, some-day.

New ink day! Lots of people swear by this stuff. I usually use India ink but I needed a deep black alternative for fountain pen.
What's your favourite?

Hail to the toad!
Experimenting with clear lines and simplified features. I really like the toad hat, I'm going to draw that idea a few more times.
There is something so cool about a mysterious toad knight.
