….every once in awhile I think to myself “that page would benefit by being covered in eyeballs and flutterdies”….
…and as I work at night, by myself….
….there’s no one there to contradict me….

Bonus Round
…Q.- Which company’s dayshift staff member has tooo much time on their hands?….
…A.- The same one that has a bored nightshift staff member.
….(bits blurred to cover tracks)….
Autumnal Flutterdies

Sketchy Wednesday V
…another in a regular series of dips into the near bottomless pit that is my sketchbook….
…huzzah!….
Some More Flutterdies
…um…how many colour combos of these can I do?….
….er….lots.
Outed Grinch
…choosing to be on nightshift can often mean that you are unintentionally excluded from participating in the day to day group activities of a busy, team oriented workplace….
…there’s been considerable excitement at ours about a company wide, branch versus branch Xmas “decorate-the-office-competition” …
…someone even managed to borrow a float from Dunedin’s Santa Parade for group photos….of course they were arranged to take place whilst I would be sound asleep….
…I know I’m renowned for my anti Xmas-spirit…but deep down I’m a competitive bastard and was starting to feel a little left out…..the float was in the shed when I arrived at work and that note on the notice board did say I could shift it if I needed to…..
…so I had my own Santa Parade….
…so you should probably dock me 20 minutes for pissing about, Boss…
…jingle bells…
…(and the photos? ….. taken the next day before I clocked out!)…..
Sketchy Wednesday IV
…planning and plotting…
….plotting and planning….
…parts of the big secret project are still alive and kicking about the sketchbook…
…plus bonus side idea for a toneware piece…
…yay…sidetracked again!…

An Exception To The Back Log
…template “d”…
…at least I think it’s template “D” … template “C”, currently in use in the sketchbook, is the one back there on the post-it notes…yep, must be template “D”)….
….and this is what it’s for….
…a quick study on A3 paper, in water colour before I move to board and paint…
…(major props to wordpress artist Nick who mentioned using water colour on his latest stuff…that triggered “hey, I need to see if this idea works and know it won’t fit in paintbook and I don’t want to take weeks doing it at A3 in paint that takes 40 minutes to dry between applications so why not see if you can make a new medium work”….result!…you can find Nick at
…thank you Nick…)…
…detail?…why of course…
…shit…guess I’ve committed to this being the next thing I work on….
P.S…..first time in an age that I’ve posted something within one hour of finishing…
