High Pressured Ethics 6th April 2025 Specialist Series

At the moment (7/4/2025), there is a planned strike by medical doctors this week to strike at a large hospital for better conditions, better pay, better hours and to get more doctors in. Presently, there is a doctor shortage in Australia and I have seen first hand, doctors constantly suffering from burnout. One of my doctors was trying not to fall asleep in front of me after a busy day and the night before working at the local hospital. I cross my fingers and pray something good will come of all of this.
The work here shows a typical doctors round of every day work, and it is non stop.

Rage. December 2023

Rage. December 2023 is an ink drawing on acid free card, and is about the effects of taking unprescribed drugs. I knew of a person that every time I saw them coming down from a a party night the rage in them was terrible. This drawing is about the beast that comes from a person such as this.

Octonurse

Octonurse is another hospital drawing. Talking to nurses its easy to confirm what is seen- under-staffing, shared equipment, and dealing with over tiredness and a lingered result of the covid stress times. There are also reduced intakes at uni for the nurse and even doctor courses. Dedication is key to being in the medical profession and toiling hard is par for the course and the work.
Octonurse is modelled from one such nurse of many others there, who I saw every day while I was in the ward in May 2023. Not only patients have many needs, I’m sure looking from the other perspective side its not hard to think the patients are not unlike being like octopuses (octopi?) too! 🙂
The colours in the drawing shown here have certainly been digitally enhanced.

Day In The Life Of

Day In The Life Of 22 July 2023

Here we have 2 very short stories. One is about how song tunes can get stuck in your head, and the other is about how some people say they love your work and they are very impressed until you ask them to really examine the work..The twist is is that when the ‘bluff'(/) is called the actions become almost petty and very different than from the first things that have been said. It does amuse me.

Hospital Drama

Hospital Drama 8 May 2023
This cartoon drawing is about a couple of dramas that went on at the hospital.
Pills get frozen and clothes get stolen. Yes!!! But that’s not everyone and it’s certainly not the usual thing that happens in a hospital…surely. …..(Yikes!???)
Everything turned out well though and it really pays to speak up about things when you can!
I tend to chuckle to myself reading this cartoon.

Experiences At The Hospital

Experiences At The Hospital. 5th May 2023
This work is more or less a conceptual work about the goings in and goings out of the patients in the hospital. Some get to go home, others turn into angels, while others have to face their fears and have to face them. Hospitals are not the nicest of places to visit for time off. Really. :-/ Still, they are places where many and most people do get to go home, all clean and patched up. Ink on A4 acid free card.

Cats In My Loungeroom. Completed 8 December 2022

A rather whimsical work, though the truth of the matter is that I have had 13 cats in my loungeroom, though quite some years ago. I used to rescue cats, but I do not do it on such a large scale these days. Unfortunately, people in my area who were renting that could not afford to rent anymore, left their animals behind for other people to take care of the homeless. Its quite the disgusting part about human nature isn’t it, right?
