Night Terrors

As those of you who follow me on other social media you'll be aware of my sleep struggles so with a cheeky nod to Francisco Goya I've been drawing a few in tired desperation in my sketchbooks which you might enjoy (more than I do!)

 

More Batman...

I like a little Batman sketch now & then, here's a few recent ones...

Batman on his summer holidays

Moody pensive Batman

 

Dog Save The King!

 Getting into the patriotic spirit at the weekend. (I'm back on the green ink because that's all I have left but I kind of like it!)

The Sun Has Got Its Hat On!

Drawn during a spurt of late summer optimism a couple of weeks back when it felt like the summer had come back with a vengeance - feels rather bittersweet right now. I still love the sound of an ice cream van.
Here's the original sketchbook piece drawn on a beautiful September afternoon on a table outside The Nag's Head in Walthamstow, one of my local pubs. I feel like the cold beer & sunglasses rather add to the whole vibe!

 

A Bestiary of (dimly remembered) Literary Terms

I was following a thread by @katemond on Twitter about 7 year olds being forced to learn about 'fronted adverbials' at school & after looking the term up realised the reality was a hell of a lot duller than my original idea of what a Fronted Adverbial looked like.

I proceeded to draw some more dimly remembered terms from studying English literature back in the mists of time.

The Haunted Tie (& other stories)

Excerpt from a series of horror stories I will never probably get around to writing...

'Unexpected Item In Bagging Area'

Some recent ink on paper work.

'Fugitive Sausage Dog Causes Mayhem'

I absolutely HAD to draw this headline from the Jersey Evening Post!

Vacuuming with tiny creatures

Some useful procrastination tips & ideas for you.

The 'Hovering Skull of Self Doubt'™

I sometimes get days like this...

It's Friday, why not lick a chair?

You KNOW you want to!

Cat on hind legs

In my dream last night I was followed up a flight of stairs by a cat walking on its hind legs - I was slightly disappointed when I woke up to say the least.

Meals on wings

Peturbed ghostie

Destroy All Monsters!

Random sketchbook post for you all!

Happy 10th birthday iPhone!

Ten years of the 'cracked iPhone™fairy'!

The devil in the black dress cometh...

A cheese hat.

I love starting a new sketchbook, & I ALWAYS offer a reward!

Flat Earth

Happy birthday your majesty!

Happy birthday Iggy! 70 today!
