In May 2021 I moved back to Southsea, an area of Portsmouth I left several years ago. I lived in Southsea for a number of years prior, but moved to Drayton in 2014. Having kids definitely changes things, schools and a garden become a consideration. Anyway, a lot has happened since leaving and returning to…

With Easter fast approaching, I thought I’d draw a daffodil. And as the daffodil is the national flower of Wales, it got me thinking… Where do dragons come from? Are the two connected? With this in my mind, I got creative… Daffodils & Dragons Poem Daffodils huddle, bow and sway Clusters of yellows and gold…

Looking for a bespoke piece of animal artwork or a pet portrait? If so, you have come to the right place! Digital art and graphic design aside, I really enjoying putting pen (or paintbrush) to paper, especially drawing animals and wildlife. Below you will find a small selection of my animal illustrations. Please checkout Sea…

I am pretty sure Portsmouth Cathedral hosts art exhibitions, something I should probably research. I often walk past Portsmouth Cathedral, so last weekend I decided to take a quick photo and illustrate it – what do you think? You will find a few more of my Portsmouth landmark drawings on the Tidy Blog. If you…

So this weekend I decided to draw and drop the “Gary Vee NFT” on Rarible, what do you think? A NFT is a non-fungible token, which means one of kind digital artwork. These tokens contain identifying information in a smart contract, so blockchain and crypto become much more than digital currency. If you follow Gary…

My eldest son is currently obsessed with Among Us and this Imposter dude. So, over the weekend I decided to draw a detailed Imposter for him. Ok, it may look a little scary and Among Us is not everyones cuppa tea, however Isaac loved it! I guess this is one of many reasons I draw…

What if Mario was a Viking? How would he look? I hope you like this doodle, it was inspired by an Instagram follower whose son love Mario. It is cool having something random and/or different to draw, adding my own twist on it. Maybe I should make a Mario art collection, “what if Mario was…

Yesterday evening I decided to grab my iPad Pro and get doodling. Sometimes I like to draw without direction, emptying my mind or processing my thoughts on a blank canvas. This illustration looks at social media and its impact on life. Let’s face it, our biggest commodity is time, once spent we cant buy it…

With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, I thought I’d draw Cupid and write a little poem. A reminder that Cupid is a key worker, so no furlough or days off for this little dude! Cupid knows lockdown is tough, but remember love conquers all, he has a plan… Cupid Love Poem Don’t look for love, let…

So this weekend I signed up to Rarible, a platform to create and sell digital artwork secured with blockchain technology. The plan is to create a selection of Ethereum themed artwork, offering my art collection to ETH investors. ETH, NFTs (Non-fungible tokens) and Art Non-fungible tokens contain identifying information, these are recorded in a smart…

Above is my illustration of the COVID Grinch, a mean little virus that stole Christmas for many. I thought it would be cool to write a short COVID Grinch poem… COVID Grinch Poem A little virus that thinks it’s cool Closed down the gym, and my kids school Everyone’s distant, many alone Yup things are…

This illustration was inspired by a poem written by American poet Mr Robert Frost. The poem is called “The Road Not Taken” and it looks at life, more specifically the decisions we each have to make. Over the past few months I have been drawing a lot, this illustration is something a little different, I…
