New Print - Hillside Dystopia New print available over on my store. You can buy it here.

For his Inktober 2019 project, the artist thisnorthernboy focuses on buildings, loosely inspired by Dylan Thomas’s radio drama Under Milk Wood.

In this #penandink #sketchbook doodle by Rob Turpin (@thisnorthernboy) the inhabitants of a cliff-dwelling house travel the seas on a mysterious floating island... but no one seems to bother them. They either have some killer security system, or they’ve tapped into some Elder God magic and fastened a dozen or so tentacles to their chunk of terra firma. Security and propulsion... and only at the sake of a few points of sanity? Sounds like a deal to me! Drawn with: Carbon Platinum fountain pen, Pentel Pocket Brush, Copic SP Multiliner... in Rob’s Airship Alphasketch Sketchbook! P.S. I believe Rob is taking commissions right now and he’s hoping to draw some cool landscapes like this one. You would be remiss to miss that opportunity! {—🌴—} #thisnorthernboy #islandlife # tentacles #adventuring #blacklines #blackworks #doodling #drawing #fantasy #fantasyart #floating #illustrationart #inkdrawing #landscapeart #natureart #ocean #pendrawing #sailing #ship #sketch #waterfront #worldbuilding #airshipnotebooks #airshipartist https://www.instagram.com/p/B1RHOIInAne/?igshid=1p48iq6q6gdpo

Asteroid Belt Blues: A Sci-Fi Story In 31 Panels. For this year’s Inktober I’m creating a short sci-if story, told across 31 panels over the 31 days of October.

Cloudmoon - A combination of my two favourite artists styles

Asteroid Mining. Two part commission just completed. Lots of fun drawing this, and pretty happy the way they both turned out. What would you commission me to draw?

A selection of my illustrations that are available to buy over at my INPRNT store.

I’ve been working a lot digitally this year using Procreate on the iPad, so it’s nice to pick up a pen and sketch.
