Ink on a postcard, January 2026. Inspired by a talk I went to where a scientist was explaining how you can prove that animals use binocular vision for depth perception. You give them teeny tiny 3D glasses and show them images of food that you can only see if you're using both eyes together. And yes, cuttlefish do it.

It’s obviously the right sort of day for temperamental sparkly inks. This is another Jacques Herbin, Rivière de la Lune.

I took the day off work to finish getting the blackthorns in before it rains again making it a thoroughly unpleasant experience. The wee birds, faeries and other beasties are going to love it. Sitting at my desk writing about it now and the ink is behaving impeccably. Which is unusual for Jacques Herbin Émeraude de Chivor…

Having some fun with the Blue Pumpkin nib on my #DipPen! Freehand drew some organic ivy shapes and then digitally added a teal background to make the sketch pop!

Chess game. Dip pen, February 2026.

Another one from imagination. This is the most fun I've had drawing in ages.
