The best historical artefacts are the accidental ones that freeze a moment in time forever. I thought I’d try to find all the times pets have ruined their owner's day and recorded that instant for all of history.
I put all of my free references from this year in one pack. You can download it via Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/s/ac47b53b1c
#ArtAdventCalendar Dec 20 Inktober 2023: Beast - traditional inks The last inktober pic I'm doing to post. Had lots of fun trying to fit in so many different fungi on one creature.

Earlier in the year I collected a feather a day whilst walking the dog. They became the basis for a drawing workshop @artistinresidence.co Day 20 #ArtAdventCalendar
#ArtAdventCalendar Dec 18 Dirk and Todd - digital painting, 2024 Fanart for the Netflix version of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. Loved that show. I've also loved the book since I was a teen, so feel it's important to note that the show is almost, but not quite entirely unlike the book.
2 for 1 on day 18 of the #ArtAdventCalendar. Two scenes from #LordOfTheRings painted in acrylic ink. Ink washes are my new favourite thing. #art #lotr
#ArtAdventCalendar Dec 17 Grin - traditional inks, 2008? Maybe?? Going back to another super old one! Two characters from my first webcomic, Kaspall. I still really like the expressions.
Have you ever looked closely at a bird? In many cases, their plumages are exquisite works of natural art. The glossy, multi-hued body feathers of a Wild Turkey prove my point --- and serve as the next entry in my #BirdArt era of #ArtAdventCalendar. #birds #feathers #photography
An illustration from my #PictureBook Betty Builds It (2019 West Margin Press) about a robot girl who likes to build things #ArtAdventCalendar #Kidlit #KidlitArt
#ArtAdventCalendar Dec 15 Octopus & Dicebox - digital painting, 2023 A second still life. Is there anything better than putting the shines on a painting of a shiny thing?
Day 15 of #ArtAdventCalendar! In 2019 I embarked on a solo daily art adventure. The year-long project, titled Three Word Stories: The Year of Things On My Head, resulted in 365 multi-media self-portraits. The art was in the doing. Wreathed In Generosity 15 Dec 2019 (2nd pic in comments) #art 🧶

Watching another trailer for an interesting horror movie I'll never see because I'm a big chicken, and struck by how in the 90s, horror was all endless sequels and / or ironic commentary on the genre, while mainstream made interesting standalone films... and now it's the exact other way round.
#ArtAdventCalendar Dec 14 Inktober 2023: Remove - traditional inks. Another inktober favourite. Zero explanation for this, because I have none.
#ArtAdventCalendar Dec 12 Roadside - Traditional inks, digital colour 2021 The main characters from my second webcomic. There are lots of things I'd do differently now after learning about digital painting (e.g. more textures) but I still like the atmosphere.
I love it when a painting strikes an unexpected chord with a group of people. Prints of this painting of Kenilworth Castle were sold by Kenilworth Runners for charity. It captured all those early mornings and weekends of training in all weathers #ArtAdventCalendar
These are my first ever dolls. They are imperfect but they come from somewhere in me that really wanted to create, make something after years of a non creative life. I sometimes want to fix that neck but I know I never will. They belong together, just like this🖤 #artadventcalendar day 11
#ArtAdventCalendar Dec 11 Nate - traditional inks, digital colouring 2021 Another piece of fanart, this one is for @jammythebirb.bsky.social 's sweet and dark pirate webcomic 'Back 'o Beyond' - which incidentally finished this year.
“this is the game of love, and it was you, the one who would be breaking my heart when you decided to walk away, when I wanted you to stay.” - daft punk Image created in the office bathroom of an abandoned grain elevator in 2013. #ArtAdventCalendar day 10 #selfportrait #blackandwhite
The amazing colours of the Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone. #ArtAdventCalendar #Photography #Landscape #Landscapes #Yellowstone
#ArtAdventCalendar Dec 10 Wine & Cherries - digital painting, 2023 I really wanted to get better at digital painting, so I did a bunch of still life studies in 2023. I don't think I'll go back to doing them regularly, but they were more fun to make than I expected.
