I really need to make more effort to post here. Here’s this morning’s sketchbook page for starters. Polychromos pencils in an Art Creation sketchbook. #sketchbook #colouredpencil

A coloured pencil sketch of a clown type character with blue hear reaching for a heart. It’s in a small square sketchbook on top of some coloured pencils

Never forget that they had to spend trillions of dollars, build massive data centers, consume millions of galloons of water and insane amounts of electricity, just to kind of do what you can do better with your imagination and a cup of coffee. That's how envious they are of what you can do.

It’s the 5th anniversary of #kidlitartpostcard day! I didn’t realise when I decided to post this pic that the theme this month is You As A Kid, but it works as this illustration was from my Substack post about my teenage encounters with eels.

An illustration of two smiling eels hiding amongst reeds in murky green water. Above them at the water's surface, the legs of a swimmer hang down in the water next to a yellow kayak.
