Here’s a little sneak peek at a recent drawing video I shared on Patreon (along with a mini-workshop booklet/pdf on how I approach drawing in nature and wrangling those ideas and creative inspiration).

I’ve been holding on to this video for a long time; I just wasn’t sure how I wanted to share the whole mini-workshop and video with the world. In the end, I just decided to throw it out there, and it’s all available on Patreon here.

Anyway, it holds a special place in my heart because my gorgeous girl Humble is hot on my heels throughout the video… I like to imagine she still is in spirit, but damn I miss her.

And if you like videos about sketchbooks and nature, there’s plenty more on my Youtube channel here.

There’s only a couple of days left to grab the Patreon-exclusive sticker and postcard for February!

If you just can’t live without these hopeless romantics and heart-broken cynics — and are keen for lots of other sketchbook, behind-the-scenes, daily life, drawing tutorial content — head over to my page here and join one of the top tiers.

As I said in the last post, there’s absolutely no expectations or commitments, you’re so so welcome to come check out what’s behind the Patreon curtain, and to come and go as you please. And I am just grateful beyond words for everyone who takes an interest in what I do, and keeps me in the business of creating strange and beautiful things.

Even though Valentine’s Day is long left in our dust, I’m still pretty excited to reveal the Patreon postcard and sticker for Feb is a lil’ love-themed flash-style page of mini-illustrations, for love-lovers and cynics alike.

If you want to nab this Patreon-exclusive set, jump on over to my Patreon and join one of the top tiers before Feb 28, here.

And please know, there are absolutely no obligations or expectations when joining my Patreon: you’re welcome to subscribe/unsubscribe and come and go as you please… I’m just so grateful for anything that provides me a little creative freedom, and my Patreon community truly has helped me create some of my best work over the past 12 months. Oh, and that said, there is over a year’s worth of content in there — from photo diaries and behind-the-scenes updates, to discount codes, digital downloads, colouring pages, phone and tablet backgrounds, narrated videos and mini-workshops. Lots of stuff!

‘Sweetheart’ is my newest sweet, cute, playful Valentine’s Day / love-themed illustration suite. Available here.
