RIP Chewbacca

The actor who played Chewbacca throughout the entire Star Wars saga has passed away.

Another Weekend Come And Gone.

Down To Earth

Did this for someone's business plan.

Vista

A rare attempt at serious sketching. This was the view from my garden chair on what was a fine Easter Weekend.

Summer's Return

We are currently experiencing a spell of fine warm dry weather . . . and on a bank holiday weekend too!

Notre Dame Is Gone.

The famous French Cathedral has been destroyed by a fire.

Ticked Off

Did this for an internet friend who lives in Scotland and experience a lot of bug-related issues (ticks, midges, etc).

Some More Faces

No punchlines to these three doodles done today, they are just for advertising purposes (Diabetes UK).

Hope Springs Eternal.

In case you are wondering, I'm absolutely fine. Just trying out a doodle idea.

The Folkestone Harold

Did this for a proposed Facebook page about local matters before decided against it.

Hell On Earth

 

Starting to lose my patience with a nightclub that is close by to my home.

Buzzing For Spring

As most of the UK has an early taste of Spring due to unusually warm, dry and bright weather for this time of the year.

Book Cover

This rounded off the Wildlife Fairy project as mentioned in the previous post.

The Wildlife Fairy

 

Just coming to the end of a rather ambitious project of providing illustrations for a friend's book.

Another New Year.

Here's hoping for 2019 to be an interesting/productive year in terms of doodling, photography and the weather (my three main interests).

Feeling Festive . . . Almost.

Time for the obligatory Christmas doodle.

The Little Lady In The Lift

A Folkestone icon, Jeanne, who used to operate the lifts at a local department store for decades has passed away today. This is my tribute to her.

Smell The Coffee

While walking through a quaint part of Folkestone town, a doodle idea sprang to mind.

Strange Bedfellows

Summing up the current political situation.

Birds Of A Feather

This was for a client, don't ask me about the thinking behind it.

Travel Woes

As commuters face another week of delays and accidents on our motorways.

Hot Tub

Did this for my next door neighbour who owns one of those.

The Night Life

Joys of living quite close to a night club.

A homage.

It is on this month and year exactly 40 yeas ago Equinoxe was released by a certain French musician, so I did this artwork as a homage to my second favourite album (the second being Phaedra by Tangerine Dream).

Teething Troubles

Joys of being a home carer for an elderly mother and an owner of a mini black panther.

Eeyore

Adapted an Eeyore picture for use as a tattoo (not for myself, for a friend, of course!).

Humble In Victory. Gracious In Defeat.

You can shoot me down for this if you want, indeed we might be seeing a bit of football history in the making - but for goodness sake, calm down whether England lose or wind! It's only a bloody football match, I'd be more jubilant if peace was declared on all of Earth or a cure has been found for cancer.

A Bitter Pill

Peter Capaldi

As the (now former) Doctor Who. Did this for a friend who apparently has a crush on him. Personally I prefer Matt Smith (not as a crush, but as a Doctor Who as he was brilliant at it - and indeed I've already drawn him a few years ago).

Housing A Grudge

Did this for a friend who apparently is writing a book on this subject.

Boy Racer

 

 

Did this for an old school mate who is a bit of a boy racer.

I did two versions just to see how things pan out, the top one was done in the traditional (and hard) way using coloured pencils while the colours in the bottom one were done in the modern (and easier) way.
