Sketchy LXXXII

…this one is for my good friend Dee…

…who had never seen someone butter cake….

…so I had to make up a story about the origins of buttering cake…

…(when in doubt, always blame the Country Women’s Institute)…

Sketchy XXIX

…grandiose plans for huge Flutterdie/Ship Eye/Concentric Rainbow piece…

…(probably shelved indefinitely!)…

…(what happens in sketchbook, sometimes has to stay in sketchbook)….

Sketchy XXVIII

…I know….I know….

…they all look the same….but I was trying to tighten the design…

….something similar but not the same tomorrow….

Reason To Celebrate

…or “Octopied 37” if you’d prefer…

…today is the 9th anniversary of my starting to contribute to the WordPress blogiverse…

…so rather than another two pages of 4/8 colour pen scrawl from last year…

…here’s the latest piece I’ve finished….

….this has been sitting, incomplete for over a year!…

…I think my return to nightshift has given me the motivation to get back to making lots of stuff…

…brace yourselves….

Sketchy XXVII

…flutterdies for all…

Sketchy XXVI

…variation of the theme…

…(the theme being skulls and crossbones as usual)….

…cryptic squiggles courtesy of trying to figure out if the skulls can be “tumbled” thru 4 different angles…

…(too complicated for me to figure out!)…

Sketchy XXV

…ha!…

…as soon as you say “I’m gonna post every day” you almost miss one…

….but I have an excuse…

…first night back at my ol’ forklifting job….

…and I had a crap day’s sleep….

…sigh…

Sketchy XXIV

…thanks for not asking…

…there is a plan….

..no more hoarding of artwork….

…gonna catch up with the huge backlog of sketchbook/paintbook/finished stuff by posting every day…

…then I’ll post stuff as I finish it….

…simple…

…right?…

Sketchy XXIII

….giving the eight colour pen a real work out here….

Sketchy XXII

…so I’ve quit my day job…

…and been kinda headhunted back to the night shift I left 6 months ago…

…so I guess I’ll be able to make more stuff like…..

…and…

….ahhhh…sitting up all night drawing skulls and crossbones and octopuses over and over again…

….yep….

…(now…where’s that eight colour pen)….
