A fellow creative could do with some help…

When in the woods, best beware of dead man's fingers lurking there. Reaching up above the ground, a creepy fungi to be found. Happy Halloween everyone. Photo: Sheringham Park by Rob Coleman

My grandson tried his first watercolour painting with just a little help from me. He’s justifiably proud of it!

I feel so much better abt my sketchbook now because it's literally exactly like this lol

Yes it could be argued that keeping up with world events is important but alternatively can I interest you in hugging an ancient mossy boulder that looks like a face and quietly listening while it tells you stories from centuries cloaked in mist.

Forest study with graphite powder and pencil. It's funny that, in a way, I never really gave graphite a proper chance since I love color so much. Incorporating the powder actually makes it much more enjoyable to me, as it's starts almost like a painting. #drawing #art

With FiveEvil starting to arrive with backers, here’s one of my favourite big spreads that I made for that book. I’d maybe get in trouble with some art directors because of the low tonal range but look at me I’m the captain now. And I knew where it was going. All good.

Halloween is almost here, and the newest Moonlit March painting is nearly complete! 🎃 While I put the finishing touches on it, here’s a peek back at where the series began. #MoonlitMarch #HalloweenArt #FantasyArt #AnimalArt #OpossumArt #WoodlandCreatures #AutumnVibes #SpookySeason

Maskwitches of Forgotten Doggerland is the ENnie-nominated storytelling game of the psychedelic Mesolithic. Honestly, if that sounds bad, we can't sell you on it. Puppets, sets, smoke, 3d printed pony skulls, Maskwitches has the lot.

Sketch for the latest print run; final art soon. #illustration #pencildrawing #sketchbook

Naiads are a little bit of a problem if you are around fresh water (especially if you cannot see the bottom) in Strangehollow, so think twice before you journey there. #watercolour #animated #naiad #nymph #siren #folklore #fairytales

PSST... my kickstarter is still live! It end next week (Thursday)! Where does the time go? buff.ly/raZbj7q #unicorn #fantasyart #painting #watercolour #folklore #crowdfunding

I have a new Forest Dragon in my HarrowHyrst range, available from Footsore Miniatures and Games. He’s ready to defend the mighty forests from their enemies! He was sculpted in BeesPutty polymer clay, next job is to paint him! footsoreminiatures.co.uk/collections/...

I decided to practice by drawing my collection of exotic stones. In my humble opinion— this rocks! *badum-tss* 💎 #art #artsky #greynart #study #sketchbook #gemstones #coloredpencils

Darach, my new forest dragon, has just gone off to be moulded. Can’t wait to paint him up! He’s sculpted with Beesputty polymer clay and will be cast in resin.

Seems an appropriate opener to spooky season to say these two will be lookin' for new homes in the shop tonight at 7pm est! Do they bite? Probably. Soon that will be someone else's problem though. #art #artdoll #furryart #handmade

Why do I let my brother take photos of me :-D

Hi! I managed to draw a trio of bog witches a few days ago! Still struggling a bit with things in general and drawing in particular, but I’m glad I can still do stuff sometimes! Take care 🏳️‍⚧️

These guys want to know if you have any snacks. 🍄✨🌿 🐓🌿✨🍄 (Want to hear their strange stories? I've got a thing for that: Kickstarter.com/projects/babayaga/shackling - hit that Notify button yo!)

|Blood to Blood| I really hope to be able to draw and share more again with you guys! 🤍 #illustration #animalart #lineart

The Long Neolithic is an ongoing conversation. The stones talk between themselves, slow exchange across centuries. The stones talk to the landscape and of course, the stones talk to us. Answering back may be the minimum level of politeness. – Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSunday

Today is for the Queen of Owls.

These backdrops are so good, worth a look!

In the north east of Strangehollow you'll find, along with the small Noggit, you'll also find 10 ft tall terror birds that work in groups to take down larger (or smaller) prey. Don't stay out in the open. Savage Strangehollow launches on the 16th sept - join my newsletter to be notified! #artbook

First complete assembly! Everything looks good to me. So very satisfying—that’s fifteen pieces of cast metal, plus fasteners, in a very tiny space! Now more polishing on the wings, then patination and final polish 😅🛠️ but look: here’s our proud planthopper gent!

Another great little Kickstarter!

Great little figures!

Illustrations made for MCDM - Draw Steel⚔️ Really enjoyed working for this project! #mcdm #art #artwork

More fabulousness from Annie and her gang!

I have some more commissions available now! It is £10 for a single character or £40 for a character sheet drawing with a load of items! Please send me a message if you would like one, thank you very much

Inktober 2022 throwback - might end up adding this one to the shop Dark Vibrations 🌪️

I’ve always been fascinated by old printers blocks and couldn’t resist buying these recently :-D Old letterpress blocks, lots of variety, particularly ones for Masonic Lodges! Now to clean them up, they’re pretty dirty!

Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button

Plein air sketches from hereabouts (nearly 10 years old 😮). Should really get out and do more

I made a collection of bird ornaments, each one representing a species we can spot from our home, at the public pond out front and the birds in our backyard. I created them to celebrate this place where I finally feel at home and to enjoy making something crafty just for me again. :D

This gives me a rare opportunity to use the classic B&W Godzilla.

I’ve finished another needle felted piece of terrain….all made from wool :-) It’s so satisfying!

Original sketch available. Brown pencil on Sennelier Le Maxi sketch paper, full sheet approximately 149 mm square. Main image 90 mm square. £120 + £6 UK or £12 International tracked postage. Or please feel free to make an offer. 🙏
