I felt like playing with physical space today. This drawing is on board using pigment liner pens, markers and ink. For some reason when I put the flowers in his right hand, I felt compelled…
I needed a mission
Sunday, a day of rest and recuperation. I sometimes use it as a day to tidy my mind, as usually reflected in tidying the house. Somewhere between the dust and the cobwebs I realised what…

Any journey you take, you’re bound to run into a few snags along the way. Don’t let them stop you. Push on through to your destination. The reward will be worth it. Prints and other…
Not the unbeautiful
Today, my mood was up and down like a yo-yo. Most likely because I’ve changed my eating pattern, but hey-ho the show must go on. I really enjoyed making this picture. It pretty much started…
