An older piece but a perennial favourite.

'La même histoire'
Ink on Moleskine sketchbook paper, approximately 127 × 208 mm, 2018.

#MerMay

Ink drawing of a mermaid sitting atop a perpendicular, tree trunk-like rock in the water. Her long hair trails right down to her seat and obscures her face entirely. Her head is bowed, and there is a strong suggestion that she may be weeping.

Hen and Squirrel.
Ink and gouache on Fabriano Medioevalis, approximately 95 × 64 mm.

Dedicated to the neighbourhood Goblin Squirrel (who might possibly just be a new mother after all).

Black ink drawing, primarily in silhouette, of a hen chasing off a squirrel as it scrambles over a fallen branch on the ground. The hen's comb and wattle are the only touch of red gouache. The piece is small and intricate, and is roughly the size of a business card.

Detail from a silhouette drawing in black ink of a squirrel clambering up part of a broken branch on the grass, the head of a hen just making it into the crop behind it.

I'm sorry. 😥 All my three cases were caught whilst masking scrupulously, too. I hope you're better very soon.

I just looked it up to see what the can/packaging design looks like. I think I'm a little disappointed. 😆

Noisy Squirrel continues to be a territorial menace. Still barking at ghosts when not clattering all over the place. 🤡

It had been barking for about ten minutes by the time I went over to film this. Only when it noticed me at the last did it scamper away.

I would have liked to have filmed the inking of this tiny wren and the shrub's very fine branches with this brush, but I needed to get especially close to the piece for this and it would have been too awkward.

1/2

Detail from a silhouette drawing in black ink of a tiny bird perched on a small, leafless shrub. The head of a hen just makes it into the crop, opposite the bird. The drawing is very fine and intricate. The detail shown is roughly comparable in size to two postage stamps, and is photographed with a penny and the traditional Chinese brush the piece was drawn with.

his was fun to watch. And shows the patience and intricacy that your work requires and what makes it so distinctive, along with the humor you infuse it with.

This clip is from 2019. This was a larger piece and here I was using a Kuretake synthetic fountain brush pen rather my usual Chinese brush.

Hen and Wren.
Ink and gouache on Fabriano Medioevalis, approximately 95 × 64 mm.

Drawing in black ink, primarily in silhouette, of a hen and a Wren regarding each other quizzically. The hen stands in a patch of wild grasses whilst the wren perches on a small, leafless shrub in front of her. The hen's comb and wattle are the only touch of red gouache. The drawing is finely wrought and intricate. The piece is roughly the size of a business card.

I like how the tree that the wren is sitting on circles around to draw the eye back to the hen. This piece has a sweetness about it, imagining what the 2 birds are conversing about.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

I saw a comment which so exasperated me that I had to at once break open a new chocolate orange that I was hoping to save for a more auspicious occasion.

This is not a mode of consolation that either my pocket or my health can afford. 😶
