http://share-my-art.blogspot.com/2009/04/skyscraper-eureka-tower-drawing.html

This drawing is a scaled up section from my original sketch.

Taken from the fist half of the sketch the detail is increased in scale by 50%

And enhanced.

With light!

Campsite phone box sketch.

Pencil sketch of a campsite phone box.

This sketch was completed over the course of 3 days, while we sat chatting to each other and the international visitors. The phone boxes are blue and they hang on sun bleached yellow walls, they became very popular in the evenings, usually the one on the right which still has a working internal light. I have tried to capture some of the animation around the scene and a sense of place. The sketch has become smudged through carriage.



Kerching, pring, pring, dong.

Parkland statue sketch.

Parkland statue sketch, unfinished. 2008

I created this sketch one afternoon while one of my friends dozed and the other two completed a lap of the park on roller blades.

To me, the drawing is incomplete.

Rather a snapshot of a statue in context.

He has a book in his hand.

I could add some watercolours.

Moreover, it is completely unfinished.

The park was full of people passing time.

In the sunshine.

It has beautiful gates and fountains and gardens.

It has a museum and cafes and sculptures.

It has joggers, skaters and rollers.

Shirkers, illusionists, musicians, and contortionists.

The tree lined avenue with the perfect gradient was closed for refurbishment.

This time around anyway.

Hail, rain, fall or shine.

The best park in the world.

Let's go around one more time!

Pencil and ink.
Completed in just under 6 hours.
First I drew the grid and then the letters G-O-T-H-I-C from the Gothic Alphabet.
I drew the letters in pencil then went over them with ink when I was happy with their shape.
The other squares in the grid are populated with adaptations of symbols found in an old encyclopedia.

Twins: Portrait of an Artist?

This pencil drawing is an adaptation of a photograph of a famous artist.
Can you guess who?
I originally included other artists in the sketch, over working and spontaneous scribbles meant erasing the other figures. The combination of textures and smudges results in a mysterious scene. For example, the contrast of tones between the apparel, the face and the black tie.
The black smudge on the the textile background.
The image sits well with the poem:-

Twins.
Everything I have done, you have done.
Everywhere I have been, you have been.
Every word I have said, you have said.
Twins of different wombs, different minds, different worlds, different times.
How come you know so much about my life?
Can anyone write the next line?
