Scrabble

Playing Scrabble with friend and fellow illustrator Naomi (http://ompom.wordpress.com/) on a Saturday afternoon (Saturday is hangover day) Naomi’s contribution is the man on all fours. Bottom left.  

(Floating) Coffee Pot

“Floating” because I got lazy with the shadows. This coffee pot sits on… nothing. Top image is pencil, lower image is watercolour. I used my coffee pot (or “volcano” as I like to call it) as a warm-up exercise for a long day of scribbling.  

Studio

Hmm.

Scribblings. I’ll say no more.  

Zebra

There was absolutely no chance of me returning my tutor’s staplegun without turning it into a zebra first. Whitewashed with acrylic, inked details. (sorry Chris)

Fragile

“A fragile gaggle of frail leggier giraffes from afar“:  the longest sense-making sentence I could make from a roll of “fragile” tape. Yes, I cheated, I added… three letters? Four letters. And some punctuation. I stuck the anagram onto the studio window.  

Notes

I prefer to put my ideas into words, not drawings. I find it’s a much quicker process, and if you get carried away there’s the added bonus of accidental automatic writing.  

Bowl

Today I made a fruit bowl for the kitchen table.
