Found this sketch this morning while organising my new lil art studio. This was created back at the start of 2016 when I was first experimenting with the full potential of the simple ballpoint pen 🖊 #PainPunsPencils

Found this sketch this morning when I was packing up my art for the move. It was only done very quickly a few years ago but it still has a particularly special place in my art. It was created in a particularly hard time in my life and it gave me just that little bit of comfort. 😔😌 #PainPunsPencils

Finally finished this artwork which I’ve been wanting to create for a long time! Also I used gouache for the first time on the snake! 🐍 This is the last artwork I will create in my current creative space as I move to another next week. Lots and lots of changes are about 😅

This popped up in my memories yesterday just a day after I saw @ShawnMendes live, and it sort of just came at the perfect time. As you may be aware I battle chronic pain and it has been quite flared up recently. Along with this my mental health has deteriorated. To put it simply: I’m struggling. I thought I’d repost this as a reminder to myself and anyone else who needs it. We can do this 🖤

So it was my sisters birthday yesterday so I decided to draw her something she’s been asking and asking me to draw- a bee bum! 🐝🌷

Feeling a lil bit like this drawing today and that is OK! 🖤

A photo of @connorfranta was used for reference back when I drew this in 2017. #PainPunsPencils

I was reminded today how important it is to just take a moment, breathe and look at your surroundings! It’s been an amazing but overwhelming week so we’ve gotta be mindful and take it one step... or roll 😉♿️ at a time.
PS how cute are those lil bees 🐝 #PainPunsPencils

So I may not have won any prizes but I truly felt like a winner on Friday night. 😁
😁
I sold my artwork (thanks Helen!) as a finalist in the National Biennial Outsider Art Awards, got priceless feedback, encouragement and validation, spent some time with my favourite people and had a mini break away in the city with my gorgeous and dedicated mum 😍

My only regret was not getting a photo with my beautiful friends who showed up to support me. 😭 #PainPunsPencils #artfromthemargins

Had a ton of fun drawing @jeremyzucker getting back to my roots with pencil (and markers!!) on paper.

I recorded the entire creation process so stay tuned for a video... once I can wrangle all my technology together 🙃

Would be super neat if you could tag @jeremyzucker so he can see 🥰

Been LOVING @jeremyzucker’s music so I decided to draw him. Still some finishing touches to go but I’m pretty stoked with how it’s coming along 🖤 #PainPunsPencils

Super simple 15min sketch of @JimChapman on a paper bag with a ballpoint pen. Never tasked myself with something so simple yet challenging before! I’ll be doing some more exercises like this in the future 🖤 Swipe for a time lapse #PainPunsPencils
