I do this alot





This one was drawn in my old flat in dundee, after making some pasta.I got into trouble for this one.


Any window with Condensation on it is like a magnet to me,I just love drawing on them, as a kid i always got told off for doing it,I realy should have learned by now but nope.

These are some pictures Tim took after i had a doodling session on his window...im lucky he dosnt mind so much really. He might do though?  I realy enjoy drawing big and on things other than paper,I dont seem to find time to do it as often at the moment though.

Title: this is when your not looking.

Some Places i like and feel inspired.

Piano's and Crocodiles




This was a quick wee sketch i did for my Piano Mountain Screenprint poster project at the start of the semester i never ended up using this but i quite liked the image on its own.

Pencil Line drawing taken into Photoshop and coloured.

Title: Wonky Piano







This is a drawing i did while reaserching how to do my Editorial project on sperm donor babys and there relationships with their families. I was thinking along the lines of making it playful with the two mear cat type people being the parents/Siblings and the crocodile being the odd one out. This image never got used but i had fun playing around with it.

pen and pencil,water colour,collage on photoshop and brush tool in photoshop.

The donkey Owner.




This is an idea i had for a Character for a little book I am Making in class at the moment about A donkey in a boat and his emotional journey of learning about how to be grateful for what he has.I wanted the donkey man to look like he was bursting through his little kiosk with greed.

Sorry about the untidiness of the image with the cut off text,Its just a little scrappy doodle.
