Lunch with my mum
Heres a drawing I did on a napkin while I was having lunch with my mum in Liverpool. I think the lines and marks are really stylised and relaxed. It was a good way to pen down the memory.

Colour
I miss colour. Rich, deep, expressive colour, after endlessly mono-printing in a romantic and soul healing manner using earthly light amounts of greasy black paint. I'm back knocking on the door of colour with my bags to move back in. With serious plans however, to keep mono-printing.

Calderstones
Whilst in Liverpool I had taken lots of photos on my phone of things I thought looked worthy of capturing. I have taken some time to go back to these drawings in the last couple of days, and work on a few illustrations from them. Below are some of the ones of Calderstones park, Liverpool.
Drawing on the move
Recently, I have enjoyed doing extremely quick and simple sketches whilst on the move - on buses, walking, grabbing a quick coffee - and I have chosen a select few to upload to my blog.
I always find it fascinating how when you have time working against you, your drawings skills up their anti and drive an often great illustration out of you. There a fewer marks because you don't have enough time to be over precise, leaving you making confident marks that suggest shapes, thoughts and feelings.
More to come...

"I LOVE HERE"
SUMMER 2010 | LIVERPOOL GARSTON
I spotted the graffiti on this battered building and it got me thinking. 'I LOVE HERE'. I thought it was such a beautiful sentiment. For me its strength was in the 'I', if it read 'we love here' it would have seemed more about community, politics, regeneration, with 'we' suggesting a muttered group motto, repeated and repeated losing it's bite. BUT, with 'I' it's a solo act, unaccompanied, it stays fresh, sinks it's teeth into you, continuing to chew away. Your left feeling like they really mean it, they are in love and heartbroken.
JFK & his Momma
JFK & Mrs Kennedy
I'm can't help but be attracted to anything about JFK and the Kennedy's. I found a small book called 'the life story of JFK' on Brick Lane and did a couple of drawings from it on the train.

Found Negatives
-Found Negatives-
These are some photographs from a strip of found negatives on Brick Lane (London). I brought the negatives home and scanned them in. I really like working/thinking about found imagery, and with these images the colours and landscapes look so rich and dense. The people seem like real characters too!
