Sketchy LX

…all references to goats are real and pertain to the previous occupant of Dee’s new lair and his goats….

….after much scrubbing and airing the goat odour is much dissipated…

…yay….

Sketchy XXXII

..ferris wheel of dooom…

…under-bed roll out plans and a snailtopuss….

….variety is the spice of sketchbook….

Sketchy XXXI

…top is more snailtopusses (ammonites if you will)…

…bottom is idea that is currently getting a test paint in paintbook (wallpaper rolls already sourced)….

…and some sort of Ferris Wheel whose origins and purpose escape me….did seek out a youtube tutorial to do wire framing for the skeletons and made a couple….one of which ended up in that snow globe thing I did a few months back…

…(must make some more)…

Friday Flyby

…a slow pan of what’s on the “drawing board”….caution – contains post it note spoilers and loose screws….

….so…much…more…work…to…do….

Another Little Something From Paintbook

….even tho’ we’ve got our election out of the way….

….I’m not sure I’ve got enough time to expand on this “thumbnail” before the coming apocalypse….

…(actual size of page is A4…red and blue on lettering are in metallic paints)….

….(am thinking of painting this A2ish…or bigger!)….

…(…late posting this week…because, Kokonga….)….

Lockdown 19

….been poking about for stuff to show you all…

…tried dredging the sketchbook and most everything in there is part of an ongoing secret project with a planned “big reveal”….

…except for this….

…was becoming concerned with the polls for the American Presidential election…(yeah…remember that?)….and thought I should possibly drift towards commenting in words and pictures….(haven’t done that for awhile)….

…finally had to lean on Shepard Fairey’s masterpiece from awhile ago….

….but, decided to leave it to the professionals…(surely Shepard has already thought of this)….

….(surely)….

Good god Is that The Time

…so busy making stuff I forgot my words…

…and the best I can do for a “triumpant” return is this repurposed touristy trinket from the Maldives….

…(….he didn’t even have the forethought to synchronise it with the actual doomsday clock…pfft…lazy!….)….

…(…and in his somewhat lack-lustre defence he will point out that he did go to the trouble of turning the fish upside down…that took ages…)…

…hey…I’m back.

…(shall not promise more or regular….but will try….)

Deedrees Rekkid

…celebrated the release of Dee’s new album, “She Shanties For Frank”, a week back…

…he recorded quite a bit of the gig and took loads of photos….

…anyways….
