Some recent pieces created for the Writers Retreat taking place this weekend. For some reason, none of my shots of recent paintings are coming out very well. Don’t know if it’s the bad light, or what…heyho.

The last two pages of this sketchbook are now filled. It was definitely one of my favourite sketchbooks ever. The thing I liked most about it was, that the pages were different textures, weights, colours etc. So, I chose a page to draw on according to my mood and whimsy. Also, it was beautifully handmade by Helen, the cover being subtly tie dyed fabric. This one lasted two years. Why so long? Because I have a LOT of sketchbooks. Anyway, I shall miss this one. I think I will definitely need to get another from Helen.

I also found some fashion design presentation drawings that had been executed in an art deco style, again a design brief, so I decided to revisit some of those ideas. Here is a small selection of drawings influenced by, well….me. Random Practice: Old School Isograph pens and ink, Faber & Castell Pitt pens and Faber & Castell polychromos pencils on A5 heavy weight smooth cartride paper.
