Concept art based on the TV Band Of Brothers that I've roughly sketched out while rewatching the tv show! Hoping to turn concepts into traditional tattoo style illustrations and create some flash art stuff! Interested? Feel free to check out my Instagram to keep up to date + my Etsy shop where I sell some of my work...

Having a low key weekend after a long, stressful but positive week in work! On dog sitting duty for the day so figured i’d work on some physical artwork, use up some of my empty canvases and binge watch some stuff

Hope all who see this have a good Saturday, with smiles and good vibes! Feel free to drop me some asks and stuff 😋☺️

Bailed on sitting inside and went out to the decking for a few hours! Pip being a smart cookie realised he can see over my decking when he parkours it around my decking furniture😂🙈 He was entertaining while I worked on digital art and tried to come up with a phrase/metaphor or something in general to go in this piece but I couldn't think of one😅 any ideas feel free to send me an ask ha!

Turns out my family are going to be out later then I thought so its just me, the doggo and perhaps some movies (as always ha). I'm thinking start with an action movie, then a rom-com and end it with a horror movie🎥🎬🍿😍

Sending positive vibes and dorky high fives to anyone (and everyone) who needs it this evening ✨🌙🩵

A quiet Sunday which is what my mind needs! Sitting out in the beautiful (horribly warm) weather and working on art. I’ve temporarily closed my Etsy shop to give me time to create new works and rediscover my love my selling my art (after the whole temu and Etsy copyrighting my top sellers drama I've just lost passion). I don't know for how long I'll keep it closed but when I'm ready to, I will reopen it! Lots of ruminating and possible plans going on in my head but hey ho. Not sure why I remabled this here but guess my blog my choice 😅😂🙃

Been sitting out on my decking for a few hours now and managed to mock up another work in progress! Well in fact it's a redesign of a current print I have on my Etsy shop (not linked as temporarily closed)! The original wasn't done in my tattoo style, so here I am doing this version! I'll pop more with colour!

Anyway, its been nice to sit and create freely while listening to music! Hope all have had a good start to the week anyway ✨🌙🩵

Monday evening sat outside with some alcohol, music and creating art for the grief themed flashsheet I'm working on 🤟🏼✨🌙

[comfortableinthesilence]

Been up since 3:30 am and decided to use my time productively by working on my Grief/Remembrance Flash sheet! Up for work in 45 mins and let another long ass day commence 😅😅😅

[comfortableinthesilence]

Feeling introverted and lonely tonight but at least I can distract my brain with completing another illustration from my backlog of works in progress ❤️‍🔥

The weather has finally come good so me and pip are enjoying some fresh air while I work on another work in progress! I'm trying to work on and finish all my work on progress pieces from when I had a mental block for about 5 months! I currently have about 35+ pieces that are either barely started or half way through! Its nice sitting and listening to BMTH’s new album and enjoying my creativity!

Oh and yes, I've cut my decking cover down so Pip can lay on the seat and look out at people walking, nature and of course looking out for my mum! Wish there was a way to tell him they aren't back till tomorrow but at least he's comfy!

[comfortableinthesilence]

So today's been a better day than yesterdays which is a positive! Still not back on top but small progress is better than no progress! Long and busy day in the office and ready to unwind and chill before I'm back up at 5am tomorrow! Doing so by laying on my bed, binge watching Friends and working on some art!

Also thank you to the couple of people who sent me DM’s or whatsapps after yesterdays posts! Very much appreciated

Sacked off the day job earlier and booked some leave to work on my own stuff, with a list as long as my arm it's been a productive few hours so far! Just off to the post office now to send orders out, my first one to be sent to Israel as well which is crazy to think about!! Then I think home, make a snack and get on to sorting out new listing and getting myself back on social media (for my business)! Busy bee indeed but I love it when I find this productivity and motivation! 2023 hasn't been as good as I'd hoped for my business and the fault lays at my door but there's still 4 months to go and I can set myself up for a successful 2024🥳🤓🤙🏼🔥

It's just hit midnight, I'm up for work in 6 and a half hours and here I am sat working on art, listening to music and sucking a lollipop 😂🙈 I suck at adulting but when creativity strikes ha! (ignore my messy af selfie but hey ho, trying to embrace my scruffy ass self 😂)

Ps: I've not been active on here last few days so those who has messaged me or sent asks, I'll get back to you sometime tomorrow 🤓🩵

[comfortableinthesilence]

It's 3am and I'm sat in my office working on my businesses rebrand and working on making a comeback in 2024. No one else is going to help me move forward in my journey so it's time I become my own support squad. I got this 🤘🏻🤓😅

[comfortableinthesilence]

It's nice when you aren't at work and not ruled by the start and end of your shift! So glad I've booked this week off to just recharge and do my own thing! Lazing in bed till 11am was so nice this morning, I might do it again tomorrow! Managed to get out and visit my grandad for a couple hours too, although he's mentally struggling right now so conversation was a bit blah and depressive but being there to listen for him is what counts!

Plus to try and spark my creativity I headed the beach with my IPad to work on day two (yeah I'm already behind) prompt for Mabs Drawlloween! Made a decent start and hope to finish it later tonight

All in all a productive day with some diy and cleaning done too! Now to chill and play some starfield before finding a movie to watch tonight!

[comfortableinthesilence]

I'm going to regret staying up till midnight working on new artwork and flash sheets when I have to get up at 5am for work! What can I say tho, when the creativity is flowing, just got to go with the flow! Nearly finished the line art flash sheet for 10 Things I Hate About You, then comes the colouring and shading to finish it off + got 4 other pieces exported and ready to list on Etsy!

Really trying to find my passion again for my art and business so nights like this make me thankful!
