2016 was Jackson's monster. I LOVED their pose for the monster and couldn't shake the idea that it was a frame in a sequence.

I originally planned to have 30-40 small kids all going nuts out of the windows, but simply ran out of time

A 2d colour pencil drawing of a huge brown monster, stood next to a tall red building, with it's arms raised

My 3D/CGI rendered interpretation. The monster is sat on the ground and hugging the (to my mind, school) building

Kept this supermarket basil alive for a couple of months now using the repot-and-only-water-from-the-bottom method.
It works.

Healthy two month old basil plant in terracotta pot placed in a sunny south facing window.

Hey... if you wanna pay me I can make you a neat little painting like this. I doesn't have to be a beetle. I can paint lots of things: dogs, hubcaps, great-uncles, lots of things. Anyhow, this size is $150(Cdn). DM if you need one.

A small painting of an emerald ash borer beetle on a fallen, golden-brown ash tree leaf. The beetle has a sparkly burgundy abdomen & emerald wing covers open to show the filmy, reflective wings beneath.

Give it some wee Minecraft-themed wellie.

Recent wanderings in Soho & Chinatown.

Rows of red lanterns hang from buildings above a street in London's Chinatown. The Sun is caught peaking out from the left side building creating some lens flare. The sky is blue.

View up towards the Raymond Revue Bar signage in Soho London during the day. A pigeon flys across the frame.

An alleyway scene in London's Soho featuring a shop doorway with large image across the windows of two topless men cuddling in bed. In the middle of the alley a lime bike is fallen over blocking half the pavement and there are people standing around out doorways further down the street.

Finally cracked opened a linocut beginner kit received as a birthday present nearly five years ago.

Tricky keeping in mind that carved out bits are negative space.

Varying results but what a enjoyable and relaxing process!

Three impressions of a small linocut black ink print of two clam shells in a rectangular frame. 1st impression under-inked, 2nd impression reveals more cutting required, 3rd impression a bit cleaner with fewer cutting marks showing.

Moving from the city to here.
Continual happiness by the sea and she loves it too.

Beach curving into the distance, yellow sand on the left, low surf on the right, blue sky and cloud ribbons above, seaweed clumps scattered along where the tide’s gone out. Brown and tan French Bulldog stands on the sand mid-foreground.

Let sleeping dogs lie.
🐾💤

Upstairs hallway carpeted in grey, white wall and newell post on the right also white.
Sunlight shines from the left through an open door illuminating a tan and brown French Bulldog sleeping on her side just outside the doorway. To the the right of her, the lower three quarters of a yellow lab can be seen in front of the newell post, she's also asleep on her side, back to the camera.
