Swinton Anthill

Once again, Not Tilda Swinton, has provided creepy gold which I have mined for my own purposes. I chose this tweet because her views on reality TV are quite similar to my own.

Swinton Snake

Here is the latest Swin-toon, lovingly hand-crafted in a local coffee shop this afternoon while waiting for my wife to finish an appointment. Once again, I've pulled inspiration from the creative buggers responsible for bringing us "Not Tilda Swinton", the twitter account. I should've done this the first time I used one of their tweets in an illustration, but I figure it's better late than never, so here's the link to their account...enjoy!https://twitter.com/NotTildaSwinton

Happy World Turtle Day!

This is Steven, the stinkpot turtle. He dressed up as his hero, Donatello, for world turtle day.

It Burns!: a raver doodle.


http://cupodoodle.blogspot.ca/2013/05/it-burns.html
Here is my latest Cup O' Doodle post. With the stupid pose that emerged, as I found the girl in the doodle, I could see only one possible outcome... a raver. (Side note: while referencing outfits, my eyeballs screamed out in pain at the relentless over-saturation of colour I was subjecting them to...it's a miracle to me that all ravers are not blind. I will now seek comfort in the tranquility of my own monochromatic wardrobe).

A Couple More Swintons


Here are a couple "Not Tilda Swinton" sketches from the moleskin...before I hear about the anatomical inaccuracies in these drawings, I'll preemptively remind any of you know-it-alls that Tilda Swinton has evolved beyond the need for nipples.

Wolf in a Moleskin

Last night I posted my first Swinton sketch, which I'd painted in my new Moleskin watercolour sketchbook...then I realized I'd forgotten to post this beautiful buggar. He's responsible for the protection of said Moleskin;)

Swinton Gills



Huge thanks to my friends Sam and Mary, for introducing me to the magical, though tragically now defunct, twitter account, "Not Tilda Swinton", over brunch on Sunday. There is gold in those tweets, and I hope this will be just the first of many Swinton sketches:)

On the Setee

Another rough sketch of a tattooed lady.

Watercolour Sketch: Worried in a bright Green Shirt

I got a new watercolour field kit last week and thought I'd take it for a test drive. As with most drawings that start out with no plan, or even idea, it's mostly crappy...good lord, that shirt is bright! But I had fun doing it, nonetheless, and as much as I like to mix colours, I've never layered colours before this sketch...so, YAY, learning!

Sweater Face

This photo popped up on one of the many tattoo feeds I subscribe to, and like with many of the photos I love,  I thought I should sketch it.
