The new album by Marie Davidson is fucking epic. All inspired by the life we have now- having your data mined by shitty bastards who turned our entire existence into a money making and AI training exercise.

After a month of illness and annual leave, I’m back to early morning starts and office days. Joy.

I recently rewatched one of my favourite films (it has been a few years). Pleasantville meant a lot to me when I watched it first in 98 but it seems even more relevant now

Went to an illumination concert of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons at Merchant’s House in Glasgow. I even managed to get down to and get up from a beanbag. Not gracefully but it still happened

This was one of my friend John who is arts and crafts guru. Pencil on paper with a bit of acrylic to get the lens highlights

I did this one of actor Paul Sun-Hyung Lee who you may know from Kim’s Convenience or The Mandalorian. It was based on his cosplay not the outfit from the Mandalorian (different symbol). I was happy with the plastic visor effect as I’d never attempted that before.

If you see this post a gif from one of your comfort shows.

Some more of my older scribbles. Murray, David, Brian and Dermot.

Morning all. A beautiful bright (but cold) morning here in Glasgow

This one was fun to do. It was of an absolutely awesome guy I know called Kenny. Colour pencil on tan Strathmore paper, I weirdly finished this one quickly (for me).

This beard is getting greyer by the day.

Back to 2020 when I passed sometime between portraits doing a quick painting of @sadoldgoth.bsky.social & @porkchopexprezz.bsky.social. I was an innocent when they first met me and corrupted me with bad movies and cocktails

Since I saw other kilt pics today , I thought I’d share a few of my kilt pics through the years

I did this scribble of @stevethirteen.bsky.social about 9 months ago. I was really happy with how the tattoos came out as it was hard to make them look genuinely part of the skin. Faber-Castell polychromos pencils on paper. 2024

Morning

So this is actually a bit of a lull. We are meant to be getting 100mph winds today. Just hope my house doesn’t fall apart

Moooorning

I am so lucky to own this piece by the magnificent @sadoldgoth.bsky.social. It’s beautiful and has pride of place on my aftershave cabinet (that is literally a place of worship for me)

Reposting on here. Sharing my morning routine

Mark, oil on canvas, 2023. I had not used oil paint in over 20 years and yeah it shows.
