These couple of months have been hectic. Have an absolute pile of sketches to scan from my last moleskine. Yes that’s right. I actually completed a new years resolution and finished a whole sketchbook!

Really glad to have a short break at the moment, and just relax in the sun with a cold beverage and good food. What are you doing these holidays? Hope you are all having a good break too.

If you have Instagram or Twitter you should follow me cause the updates are much more frequent!

Here’s a few recent sketches from my instagram feed

Diptych of the very lovely Aayla Mae

And this is the very last drawing in my sketchbook! Really excited to get into my next book and finish another.

Happy Holidays!

I’ve been wanting to start drawing some people I kinda know, the fear of getting it wrong / making someone look bad makes for good motivation to get it right! (hopefully)

Here’s the finished result – click to make the image larger.

I’ll throw up a few process shots while I’m at it.

You will need:

I drew this in between filming.

We chilled in the sun. Then when night fell, we dressed to the 9’s and became dancing maniacs at the Leigh Sawmill Cafe. What was there? Kitty, Daisy & Lewis! & Heart Attack Alley who were a GREAT opening act. Sad to hear that their mother was ill and couldn’t play the show though.
Did you go one of their shows? What did you think??
I had the BEST time. Lots of sun, sand, water, beer and great music.

Oh I also did some drawing.

…I’ll start with photos of our trip! P.S all photo credit goes to my friend Matt.

Omaha Wharf

Ready to party. Shoes that dance you.

I was super mesmerised by Daisy on the drums. So much energy!

OH… Did I mention that we met Lewis afterwards? :-)

What are your favourite songs? Did they play yours? I was slightly disappointed they didn’t play ‘Mohair Sam’ haha. But they did play my favourite which is ‘Baby (hold me tight)’

And here are some of the drawings I did in my sketch book while I was relaxing in the sun.

I keep drawing things in circles made of plant matter. I don’t know why.

Wasn’t totally sober for this one..

Drew some letters.

There’s a couple more drawings I might re-work and then post up later.

Hopefully you’re all chillin’ like the chillin sloth.
