#treasure #nests I'm leaving these behind so that I can draw them next time I'm here... Hoping to be back in autumn to help with the almond harvest and make some art. #dwellings #structure #collection #thingsifind

Drawing of a #roseateemperor #moth #eochroatrimenii from the collection at the @natural_history_museum that I was given access to last week. I've finally completed the colour layers. The #bluemorpho #butterflies surrounding it were given to me so that I can work on a series of drawings. #art #artist #lepidoptera #colour #fluffymoths #illustration #pencil #ink #sketchbook

Such an amazing place to visit, spend some time unhurried and awed in the emptiness. #nhm #buildings #architecture #places #London (at Natural History Museum, London)

My ID, still the most beautiful car I've ever owned...and it's serious fun when hammered around a field ;) #Citroën #citroenid #citroends #classiccar #iow #frenchcar

[whenwewerecows]

Inner sleeve and #record drawing combined. I've extended the #nest and other details... Now to complete the details on the #vinyl itself. Being inspired by @ondeadwaves and jelly beans. #art #exhibition #33rpm #playdead #pieandvinyl #Southsea #artist #drawing #colour #music

It's been a while so I'm going to go out for a wander with this pretty little thing and leave it somewhere on the beach... #faf #art #tins #artistic #freeartfriday #moth #nest #layers #pen #pencil #artist #southsea #dwellings If you find it please let me know...you know the drill.

[whenwewerecows]

Sunday scribbles, coffee, diffused sunlight and a soundtrack provided by @localnatives. It's all good here. #drawing #moth #sketchbook #bound #wrapped #ink #walnutink #insect #entomology #bugs

I’ve had a busy weekend of drawing and bonding with my sketchbook. I’m finding that I’m repeating patterns, experimenting with things and trying to loosen up my scribbles so that I’m a little more relaxed about mark making.

These things are like daydreams, a break in the clouds or a lapping of the waves...they’re silent moments, almost remembrance of the beautiful little things that surround me.
