My first picture done for Illustration Friday. This weeks topic is 'Soaked'. I hope to try and carry this on with the same character each week and incorporate her into an idea I have which I will be writing about shortly.

SLEEPING
Acrylic on cardbard....... another try at using cardboard... next on I want big.... really big!..Just have to find the right pice of cardboard.
Ladybird
I had a brainwave this morning. I was clearing out some rubbish and noticed that I had kept loads of cardboard boxes. Then I thought about using them to draw on....then I remembered that they had different layers so I grabbed my scalpel and started cutting away. This picture was done just to see what it would look like... You can see that I haven't positioned it very well so that there wasn't enough room for the bottom right hand corner but I was still quite happy with how it turned out... I like the texture and the different shades of each layer. So now I'm going to do a real picture with all four corners....and it just occurred to me that I'm also being very environmentally friendly at the same time!!!!!!

Iglesias
I'm in Sardinia at the moment and so taking a few photos here and there. Iglesias is a town hit badly by the economic crisis and there are shops closed everywhere. Having said that I quite like it but can you believe I can't find anywhere here to buy a 4B pencil and other art supplies.... Next time I'll have to bring my own.

Red is The Colour of Creativity
Mixed media piece again using the eyes, mouth and body from a magazine. the title is a quote from Frank Lloyd Wright, who originally wanted to make the Guggenheim Museum in New York red because he viewed red as the colour of creativity. Red also can symbolize danger.... hence the skull and crossbones and the stencilled rifle......Yes I know... I'm very deep for someone so shallow!!!!!
Organizing a studio
Finally this Easter Sunday I got round to organizing the spare room into somewhere a little more conducive to doing a little bit of work. My next task is to make the walls a little bit more interesting but I'm quite pleased with how it looks so far!
