Here’s a drawing I finished toward the end of 2021. The title was taken from a song by Hozier. You might have heard it. The phrase struck me as quite apt in this age of misinformation, menace and, frankly, misery. Anyhow, it ain’t all bad and this drawing was intended to be fun, or at least a little bit tongue cheek, so I hope it makes you smile.

I hope everyone is doing okay. Today I’m posting a couple of things I did over the weekend. I hope you enjoy them.
Red Bird, 2020, ink & watercolour on 300lb coldpress, 8 x 10 inches
I found a little scribble in an old sketchbook and decided to turn it into a drawing. The watercolour gives the piece the feel of a children’s book illustration. One of the faces is even smiling, albeit a little wistfully, which is fairly unusual in my art.
Yellow Skull, ink on archival illustration board, 10 x 8 inches
This piece was more or less freestyle. I love playing with the hard silhouette of a profile. This character’s head has the shape of a flea. The foreground character was meant to evoke a death’s head moth.
Both of these pieces are available.
