It’s Happening Again

…remember that record accumulation I was “administering” for Re-Store?….

…after an 18 month break…

…(nightshift/covid/life…y’know…)…..

…it’s time to get back to it….

….I’m still finding amazing stuff I’ve never seen before…

…possibly the best NZ album cover I’ve ever encountered…

…and….

…definitely the best cover I’ve seen up to this point in my life…

…pumpkins AND an octopus…

…what’s not to like?….

…(seriously…there is so much more to come from this collection…track down Dunedin Re-Stores face book page for drop dates…should be weekly at this stage…and keep an eye out for the “top shelf” crate coming to a Dunedin Re-Store counter near you!)…

Sketchy 149

….last one of the “mind maps”….

…a request from Dee…

….mind snapped….

…don’t usually do requests…

…but she did ask nicely…

…and that’s enough of that…

Sketchy 130

….holy crap…I celebrate 10 years of blogging over the next couple of days….

…’spose I should actually be blogging so I can enjoy the virtual cake and drinkies I’m sure to receive….

…another faux cigar box label to add to your collection….

…your welcome….

Sketchy 122

…(casually wanders in from stage left and sticks something on wordpress like there’s been no gap in his content)….

…(will probably make some lame excuse like “I’ve been busy with the transition from finishing one large piece to starting another…and I quit my job”…or similar)….

….sorry for the gap in transmission team….

….I’ve been busy with the transition from finishing one large piece to starting another…

….and I quit my job….

…(can’t say I didn’t warn you)….

Sketchy 121

….squid squad out…

…octopods in…

…mmmm…

…tentacly….

Paintbook 59/60

…kinda in that uneasy space between finishing something large and trying to start the next one…

…have a screed of notes and colour guides developing around my drawing table in preparation…

…was going to post some more sketchbook only to discover that I’d re-scanned the last page posted thinking it was the one I wanted to put up now…

…had to finish the above (abandoned since January) to get back into paintbook without guilt….

…now I want to do a “good” version to hang!….

…(ah…there’s that next rabbit hole…)….



Regular

Sketchy LXXIII

….up to date update from the sketch book…

Paintbook 50

…7 panels are better than 5….

…7 panels are better than 5….

…7 panels are better than 5….
