thought guffs of moderate promise

I found this ancient image of a man sort of wrestling two animals in a symmetrical composition. It came up more than once in Medieval times. I think about medieval art a lot.






I also tried to imagine what I myself would look like after having my hair redesigned. It turned out alright. But I did these first.











I have no proper energy draining low paid job now, if you have any suggestions about how I should spend my time profitably, let me know. I have my own ideas but I'm not sure if they are 100% good.

I've got a brush pen.

I am very clumsy and unprofessional with it. But it is fun and I like fun. Despite my reputation.

Hulkster





Empurpled cats.















a griffin from a church





Experiments in Texas Tornado






Warrior doing his thing.





Hmmm. it's nice to wind down after work.





I won't have a normal job soon





I'll be a full time perverse cult weird artling





So if you ever get the urge to buy one of these, let me know.





maybe not that one

But I plan to be putting some nicely presented new things up on Etsy too. I have handmade paper and I am not afraid to use it.

party bag of messy surprises

I found this sequence of photographs of a falling cat. I liked it.









Pastels are messy. I am messy.





Man and animal.





Million Dollar Man.





Wrestler.. stretching the definition. Messy plastic paper.





I used this discarded warrior drawing to try to make lines a bit like William Blake and think what I could do with them.





Finally: a snake so big and evil he didn't quite all fit on the scanner.

Smudged Pillocks

I'm not obsessed with wrestling at the mo, but I should have a show of my wrestling drawings coming up, so I've been wrestling with drawing through wrestling drawings. Ultimate Warrior!





I want to use pastels more and hone my techniques through honing.





The explorations felt valid, the muse came and went in a floozily fickle fashion.

















Peculiar bonus: the cover of my diary beginning 10th December 2001, ending 16th July 2002. Different times. I was at once more and less confident.

Lana Vanguard

I get excited about materials, but I have rarely discussed it round here.

I've got this new stuff called Lana Vanguard paper





It's not really paper at all, it does not absorb moisture and it is highly space age




You can infinitely wipe it clean





I might change these all around. Cos I can! Also to make them more good.
