The things that scuttle across my studio desk… from sketchbook to digitally finished artwork.

← GUIDED – NEW MINI-PRINTS ROMANTIC RIOT →

ABOUT

💘heartworn💘 ... what a sweet&melancholy turn of phrase.

Vessels of varying sizes.

endless / boundless

Find your way...

Aquila Audax... the most incredible bird in the Australian skies 🦅💕⚡️

In some ways, I share lots of my personal life here through my artwork and thoughts, but in other ways, I really share nothing personal at all — I’m quite private and introverted, and so it’s rare that my family, partner, home or even my own face appear here much. But I thought I should share that @scottystandley and I are about one month off from welcoming our first child, and I guess there’ll be a noticeable change of pace and heart in what I create and share here (some of you may have noticed it already)... This time also warrants a big THANK YOU for supporting my work and keeping me in the business of making pretty pictures — I hope you’ll stick with me through this new crazy lightning ride and we’ll see what magical stuff comes out of it all 😉💕🌙⚡️

This little tee graphic idea didn’t make the cut during draft stages, so it’s been living in hard drive obscurity forever... so many ideas & darlings that just fall by the wayside 💕✨🌙

A quick and scratchy sketchbook page — a little heartworn pony 💕

Like Cormac said, you never know what worse luck your bad luck saved you from.

Here’s hoping your weirdness grows wild like a weed 💕☀️✨

The bringer of light ✨💫☀️

One part of the two-piece mini-print set available in my online store 🌙✨🌿🌱 Ours is a difficult world to navigate, but I think it’s obvious that the best way to work is from a place of love (which importantly includes respect, humility, patience, compassion)... and to remember to honestly check if you are operating out of fear, pride, panic or defensiveness. Those real and natural reactions need to be acknowledged and explored too, with a softness in your heart that can guide you to row away from the rocks. At least, I think that’s what this drawing was thinking about.
