Sometimes I put aside a chunk of time to do some sketching of any old thing that I fancy. Some of this work ends up in the bin and some of it sits on my computer under new ideas for months, even years, until I am ready to look at it again. I may not like a sketch but something about it makes me keep it. Some of my best work has come out of a drawing that I have done and forgotten, and then I revisit and realise its potential. This is when I produce my best work I feel.

Freedom to draw July 13, 2018 12:00

How nice it has been to take a bit of time just to sketch. It's a little world that I rule, nothing is wrong unless you don't like it. I really get lost in it and listen to the music I love loud unless it's night time and kids are in bed!

Hours go by like minutes and my imagination has no limits. I spent about five hours doing this drawing and it has been changed loads since these pictures. The whole process is long but in the end it is worth it.

Finally got round to painting and sprucing up one of the B&B offices. Feeling very pleased with ourselves. Almost felt like smashing a champagne bottle against the wall to launch it!

This week I have been doing some sketching and thinking. Working on doing some limited edition prints in the near future.

Enjoying stretching my imagination!

Now Christmas and New Year have blown over I am getting myself back on my trusty pen and sketching a few new ideas for up and coming stuff. Nothing is better then getting lost in the art of the scribble and going with it and letting it take you anywhere your imagination lets you. At the mo I am thinking carnivals, lost children, dark forests, clowns and mouths.
