Habitats: Or, Our World All Together
In case you were wondering about those previously random elephant and jaguar wall sculptures, here is the overall piece they are a part of. Can you guess what this is meant to be about?
(Eventually they are to be mounted on a black background, so it would look roughly like this./.)
Portrait in progress
I’ve recently been revisiting portraiture. The following work in acrylic is based off a faded photograph – messy easel provides a sense of scale.
S&F & Philosophy Now: Bertrand Russell!
Issue 120 of Philosophy Now is all about Bertrand Russell; who wouldn’t jump at the chance to illustrate that! The following cartoon accompanied an article “The Passionate Bertrand Russell” by Peter Stone. For more BR as seen through the eyes of Ernie, feel free to visit Ernie & The Conquest of Happiness.
S&F and Philosophy Now: Whither thee, rights?
The following accompanied the print article of “What are Human Rights” by Tim Dare (Issue #118, Philosophy Now). The piece discusses how far human rights claims can stretch as an outcome of social axioms & varied definitions, for example whether we consider rights as “right-based claims” or rights that exist simply by virtue of being human.

S&F in Philosophy Now: Philosophy for the Brave
The following accompanied the print article of “Philosophy for the Brave” by Dahlian Kirby (Issue #117, Philosophy Now). The author of this article introduces the benefit of existential counselling in what turns out to be quite a sensitively written piece. Article and cartoon link below.

S&F in Philosophy Now: What would George Bataille do?
The following accompanied the print version of: What would George Bataille Do? by Alexandra Tzirkoti (Issue #116, Philosophy Now). The article itself is a nice tongue-in-cheek intro to the thinking of a rather controversial figure (link below).

Horses, ink & wash
I was monkeying – er, I mean horsing around – with some ink and wash.. had some difficulties with anatomy (let’s just say some of those noses are a tad too big), alas ink is a bit unforgiving that way. 🙂
Horse sketch
Still figuring out how to use watercolour pencils…

Here’s a new and seasonally appropriate painting that’s sloooowly getting to the end point.
