Winter happened this week. Cold Berlin is here, the "stay indoors with a hot water bottle on my lap" version of life. Here's a bunch of drawings.

64 Octagons: A pretty simple thing that I began working on in 2016. I'd do a couple here, a couple there over the years, and then hit a point a few weeks ago where I picked up the pace and got it finished.
Brain scan: the stuff in my head while I drew the stuff in my head.
Fever Dream 23.9.2022: a drawing of kinda what happened in a fever dream I had. It was pretty intense while it happened, and I was relatively sick, ending up in hopital being treated for a lung infection the next morning.
The Bangin' Gardens of Babylon: I was watching clips of this big dance festival, I think it was in Belgium, and on the same day saw an old documentery about the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Those two things got me thinking, and I ended up doing a drawing.
Food-lovin' food: a simple series of seven drawings that I have been slowly accumulating throughout the year, of delicious healthy food eating other delicious healthy food.
Squiggly Cloud Series: I kinda feel like, despite a unifying element (the squiggly clouds), there's no other reason for this series beyond the fact that I really enjoy drawing them. Which is quite enough of a reason in my mind.

Some additions to ongoing projects:
Minipops: 12 additions, inc. the Cocteau Twins, René Descartes, and the 1975
Coma drawings: the seventh in the series
Every Church in the World: 25 new drawings
Jesus, etc.: two new drawings, one of the crucifixion, and one of the Lamb of God
Vroom vroom: a quick sketch of Alain Prost is a 1988 McLaren MP4/4
Other drawings: and finally, a bunch of drawings that don't belong to a series or fit elsewhere.

N-n-n-n-new stuff today hoy heute:
Queso blanco tamaño familiar: In January, I did a long skinny drawing called Queso blanco. It always felt like it should be just a part of a bigger drawing, and most-of-the-year later, I finally got around to realising this family-sized version.

Senna/Prost: I enjoyed this project. A series of six drawings, each using the previous drawing as a reference image, until I kinda felt like the original screenshot photo was no longer visible in what I'd drawn. Might try this idea again with a different starting image.

Mandorlas: umm, this is an idea that's been in my head for a while. Kinda Venn diagrams with band names. The idea was just floating there like one of those floaty things in your vision, and in the end, it felt like the easiest thing would be to just get it done and out of the way. I ended up doing 100 of them, just so it had a bit of substance. Some are easier than others. The answers are on a sepearate page, shoud you feel like playing along.

And some additions to existing projects...
Every Church in the World: 14 of these good boys.
Haruko loves Coca-Cola: the sixth in this ongoing series.
Minipops: four new ones (Dumb and Dumber, Stand By Me, a new Coldplay, and top new Mexican singer, GRTSCH).
Other drawings: just one, though. A drawing of a bratwurst with dragon heads.
