❄️
Crunch, crunch, go the footsteps of the track maker. He is hunched and weary, using a tall staff to help him through the snow. He might have been an old man if it hadn’t been many hundreds of moons since men trod these lands. Move closer, and instead you will see he is a rabbit, walking upright in the way people once did, his ears hidden beneath the hood of a heavy leather cloak, fierce eyes peer out at the wintry midnight world.
~ Kieran Larwood “Podkin One-Ear”
Another illustration inspired by The Five Realms book series that I read with my son. We are starting book 3 after thoroughly enjoying the first two books in the series. I highly recommend giving them a read.
Drawn using Clip Studio Paint

Cover me with kisses, baby
Cover me with love
Roll me in designer sheets
I’ll never get enough
Emotions come, I don’t know why
Cover up love’s alibi…
~ Blondie “Call Me”
After installing Clip Studio Paint yesterday I thought I’d give it a bash. This is my attempt at Debbie Harry, lead singer of 70s, 80s and 90s New Wave sensation Blondie.

“No Centaurs here, or Gorgons look to find,
My subject is of man, and human kind.”

Work in progress of Charlie Watts, drummer for The Rolling Stones, who sadly passed away this week.
Say you stayed home
Alone with the flu
Find out from friends
That wasn’t true
Go out at night
With your headphones on again
And walk through
The Manhattan valleys of the dead
Didn’t want to be your ghost
Didn’t want to be anyone’s ghost…
~ The National
Staying with the Irish Faerie theme, this is my interpretation of the Banshee.
A banshee is a female spirit in Irish folklore who heralds the death of a family member, usually by wailing, shrieking, or keening. Her name is connected to the mythologically important tumuli or “mounds” that dot the Irish countryside, which are known as síde in Old Irish.
Drawn using Krita.

Saturday
Afternoon, the sunshine
Pours like wine
Through your window
And I know
Golden June can turn
An empty gray
Against your window
And I feel like
I’m on the outside
Of the circle…
~ Ocean Colour Scene
A little variation on my previous post which, I feel, sets it off rather well.

“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.”

This is just some of the stages when creating my latest painting.

“There is nothing that cuts you down to size like coming to some strange and marvelous place where no one even stops to notice that you stare about you.”
~ Richard Adams, Watership Down
Snowy Jackalope
My latest painting and a further test of skill using this new medium. Quite a few hours in this piece and the most detailed painting I have done using Krita with over 20 layers to help create a realistic fur effect.

Yet, when I am dead, if he should appear, if the ministers of vengeance should conduct him to you, swear that he shall not live…swear that he shall not triumph over my accumulated woes and survive to add to the list of his dark crimes. He is eloquent and persuasive, and once his words had even power over my heart; but trust him not. His soul is as hellish as his form, full of treachery and fiend-like malice.
~ Mary Shelley
Boris Karloff as probably one of the most iconic movie monsters of all time in Frankenstein, 1931.
This painting started off as a quick practice but I enjoyed it so much I spent an extra hour or so to finish it.
Drawn using Krita.

Below the thunders of the upper deep,
Far, far beneath in the abysmal sea,
His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep
The Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee
About his shadowy sides; above him swell
Huge sponges of millennial growth and height;
And far away into the sickly light,
From many a wondrous grot and secret cell
Unnumbered and enormous polypi
Winnow with giant arms the slumbering green.
There hath he lain for ages, and will lie
Battening upon huge sea worms in his sleep,
Until the latter fire shall heat the deep;
Then once by man and angels to be seen,
In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die.
~ Alfred Lord Tennyson
Another layer to my lighthouse painting depicting the legendary Kraken of Norse Mythology.

Call me Ishmael. Some years ago—never mind how long precisely—having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen and regulating the circulation.
~ Herman Melville
A little bit more time and care with this latest painting.
This is Donaghadee’s iconic lighthouse, built in the early 1800s and earning the town the it’s reputation as “The beacon of the coast ”.
Drawn exclusively using Krita from a photograph taken two years ago from the North Pier at low tide.

And if she asks you why you can tell her that I told you
That I’m tired of Castles in the Air
I’ve got a dream I want the world to share an’ castle walls
Just leave me to despair
Hills of forest green where the mountains touch the sky
A dream come true, I’ll live there ‘til I die
I’m asking you, to say my last goodbye
The love we knew, ain’t worth another try…
~ Don McLean
The Moat, Donaghadee.
Built in 1818 to house dynamite being used to blast out a new seabed for the newly planned harbour, this miniature castle was built on the site of a Norman motte & bailey.
It has formed a part of the Donaghadee skyline ever since.
Drawn from a photo I had taken last summer and coloured using Krita.

Jesus is just a Spanish boy’s name
How come one man got so much fame?
And to enemy, it’s pointless to anybody
That doesn’t have faith
Give me the cloth and I’ll wipe my face
When it’s all gone
Something carries on
And it’s not morbid at all
Just that nature’s had enough of you
When my blood stops
Someone else’s will thaw
When my head rolls off
Someone else’s will turn
And while I’m alive, I’ll make tiny changes to earth…
~ Frightened Rabbit “Heads Roll Off”
Finished sketch of late Frightened Rabbit front man Scott Hutchinson. I was a fan from the first moment I heard their music and rarely does a week go by that I don’t play a few songs, still as beautiful and poignant as the first time.
Thankfully his legacy lives on with his music, friends and family, and the inspiration he gave everyone.

Hellooo long time no see! I am working on a bigger project rn so unfortunately there’s not much to show but! I challenged myself to do a quick minimal portrait series to loosen up and stay funky&fresh! (I still ended up fussing over details too much but I’ve gotten way better at…not doing that )
