Piece-of-Paper Ptuesday



Every Tuesday, I'll be uploading a new sketch, writing, idea, etc. — something I've done during the week to prove I've taken a break from digital life. It's a journal of sorts, which means a lot of it is personal and a lot of it is imperfect.

The aim is to grow past my comfort zone and build healthier creative habits.

Thanks for being here.

Being productive means taking a break.
Life, uh, finds a way of overwhelming you from time to time. I, uh, find a way of dealing with it by taking a step back every once in a while — lying dormant in a chunk of amber to avoid total extinction.

When I was younger I believed dinosaurs breathed fire.

It was my mum's birthday last week! Happy birthday mum.
This is a little sketch of her. Portraits are hard.

The Words Speak for Themselves; or, An Exercise in Redundancy
A poem written by me. No grand narrative here; just a bit of fun.

View from my bedroom into my neighbour's garden (is this legal?).
