Putin's Asset?

I wanted to sharpen my Affinity Designer (iPad) skills and needed a theme. With Trump never far from the headlines, I focused on him and his ties to Russia, using a Soviet-era-themed font (Molot by Jovanny Lemonad) and a rising sun motif.

The piece was created on an iPad using Affinity Designer 2.6.

Affinity Designer (no longer available) was originally developed by Serif, but is now owned by Canva - and, sadly, it has probably begun its inevitable process of “Enshittification.”

On silent hooves

We walk into the woods. The dog is focused, sniffing the ground, erratically moving left and right, pulling at her lead.

American Crow

I sketched an American Crow caught in a rain shower, based on a photo I found on the internet.

Low light and shadows

It's starting to get a bit chilly, and I can see the first signs of autumn in the trees.

A soft, green glow

During the summer months, I tend to be an early bird.

'The Elephants' a photo-montage was created using Affinity Photo and is a composite of six separate photographs.

Another Covid Nightmare

I am inside an Italian hotel bar, I am alone. The room is long and narrow, it has a minimal brutalist style with smooth grey concrete walls.

The Warehouse: an anxiety nightmare?

I am inside a vast, cavernous, brightly lit warehouse, I am standing on-top of a large wooden box. The box I stand on is stacked upon other boxes.
