I've been doing studies after Julek Heller, an artist I was hugely inspired by but lost track of for years. I wanted to try and soak up as much of his work as I can because I love the way he draws and paints. Here are a couple of attempts with more coming soon. All are pencil on A4 sketchbook paper.
Eclipse madness is taking hold. Listen, just look at what it does not at the actual sun you nutters. The effect on the world is much cooler than squinting at a blinding orb. Watch people's videos after for the corona effect. Fuck sake.
Seconded. Don't use the Plagiarism Machine. If you do, you're not an artist of any stripe. You are a thief. And not the fun, Robin Hood kind either. A vague disclaimer is no one's friend.

“I See You Feeling Everything,” oil on panel, 11 x 11 inches, 2026
Some sketches from the last year or so that I don't mind sharing again. Drawing people is very hit or miss for me so it's nice when I get one I'm happy with. These are mostly pencil, though the last is a mix of pencil and ballpoint pen, on varying sizes of sketch paper.

The shaman of Bad Dürrenberg are the remains of a 25-35 year old woman, who was buried 8600 to 9000 year ago in Germany. Around her, were the remains of an extraordinary head-dress, made from the bones and teeth of different animals such as deer, wild boar, crane and turtle.
People who keep pointing out that golf courses use as much water as data centres as some sort of defence of data centres drastically underestimate the amount we also hate golf.
I may have successfully bullied my local agricultural society against using ai for their fall fair tee shirts as they took the announcement post down I'm tired being nice abt it 🤷🏼♂️
Very slowly trying to get back into oils. Starting a small painting of this guy. He was unnervingly interested…
"You've been mucking around with that infernal machine of yours…" The Brig being confounded by the return of the Second Doctor at the start of The Three Doctors story from 1972 is always fun to watch. Nicholas Courtney and Patrick Troughton together are a delight. Post-It Note art.
