I do adore life drawing and the rare moments tonight when I completely zoned out, or rather, in - where my mind was concentrating on nothing else but drawing – were joyful. Two hours of non-stop sketching. Bliss. The results aren’t great, but it takes a bit of time to get back into so hopefully I’ll see an improvement soon.

If you’re curious, here are a couple of ten minute poses and a fifteen minute pose. Like I say – I’m a little out of practice…

I’ve upgraded to a larger moleskine to carry around which has presented new problems as all my pens seem to smudge with the slightest touch. Could take a bit of time to get used to. Still, nice to have a bit more room to play with again.

Watch a bit of Isy Suttie here.

Just a quick one today I’m afraid.

Really am feeling constricted by the moleskine so will most probably be getting a new sketchbook tomorrow.

Hope you’re all enjoying the nice weather!

There’s an interview with me discussing Solipsistic Pop over at the Avoid The Future blog. I ramble on a bit but there’s a lot of things touched upon that haven’t been mentioned elsewhere. Also – I discuss some more plans for Solipsistic Pop 3.  Worth a look.

Plus, I went and made another Spotify playlist. Have a listen. It has lots of shouting.

Day 80 already… Only another 20 left – the past 10 days have flown by! Hope you’re all enjoying them so far.

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to letter in this tiny moleskine I have so I may go back to a bigger sketchbook soon.

Feeling very tired tonight so just a short one so I grab an early-ish night.

While scanning the pages in and adding some colour, I’ve had Adam Buxton’s Big Mixtape featuring Ed O’Brien from Radiohead playing in the background. Perfect Monday night listening. Do give it a listen – it’s highly enjoyable.

Having seen my comic from the other week, WIAIWYA Records asked if they could use the drawing I had made of Anna from The Middle Ones as a badge. They also I asked if I would fancy drawing Grace in the same style for another badge.

Here’s what I sent them:

If the designs end up being used, I’ll let you know how to get hold of the badges should you like these at all. The Middle Ones are a very charming, twee, lo-fi indie duo. Delightful. If you’re a fan of that sort of thing. I don’t think it’s much of a secret that I am.
