A black pen in a crosshatch technique and black block printing ink applied with a roller on white paper illustration.  The dark silhouetted shape of a woman in a black funeral dress stands at the foot of a bed in an Edwardian style room, she stares at a tired looking man under a heavy quilt. Moonlight shines into the room from behind the woman. Creepy and atmospheric.

Another favourite of mine for The Woman in Black that didn’t make the final book.

Chapter Six: The Sound of a Pony and Trap.
Arthur being haunted by the Woman during a restless night.

Color Memory Game β€” How well do you remember colors? We show you colors. You recreate them from memory. Challenge friends to beat your score. It's harder than you think.

A good game for anyone who spends all day poking at colour pickers.

My first run was 45, and I’ve only done worse since.

Thank you Sarah. That is extremely kind!

I have gone down a bit of an Otway rabbit-hole since you posted examples. At least I'm attempting to organise my folders a little better! :D

I thought I had a folder of Leslie Otway, but it seems to be more a case of scattered examples in various folders!

My Brother Nanaboozhoo I'm traveling home from a Magic: the Gathering event today, and my experience here was a little bittersweet. It was the first one I've done in a few months. The first since the sudden illness and pass...

I wrote about my brother Simon in my article for Muddy Colors today. Years ago I wanted to paint an Ojibwe trickster/shapeshifter/folk hero named Nanaboozhoo. My brother was the most Nanaboozhoo-like person I have ever known, and I didn't have to ask him to pose. I couldn't get him to *stop.* πŸ˜‚

β€˜Small Prophets’ is a much needed delight. As tempting as it might be to watch it all in one sitting, I think I’m going to make it last. Thank you Mackenzie Crook. Heck, Michael even drives a blue Ford Capri identical to my old one!

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

Indeed, it’s merely that NL isn’t so easy to put in a political box. That said I’m not particularly interested in baking shows but her Chocolate Guinness cake is the best cake ever.

Interestingly I don’t think Nigella is. She’s voted Labour and declined an OBE, despite who her father was.

A black crosshatched pen and block printing ink applied with a small roller on slightly off white paper Illustration of a man on a bicycle. The man is dressed in a warm jacket, shirt & tie, he wears a flat cap and has bag strap over his shoulder.
The bike is an old fashioned delivery style bicycle with a lamp and wicker basket attached above the front wheel. The man has come to a standstill on a quiet country lane, he stares over his shoulder towards a dark and forbidding sky over a flat and featureless landscape, sunlight ahead of him casts his shadow on the road.
Atmospheric, he is anxious but the sun is shining ahead of him, he is cycling away from danger but even so, it looms over him.

My Original artwork for The Woman in Black will be available to purchase in February.

This and many others, plus sketches and roughs, I’ll try to make them as affordable as possible.

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.

It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.

Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.

Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.
