Video! Single Line Drawing – Emirates Air Line

Heres a peek out the window of the new London cable car, and a look at me making a single-line version of the view! I’ve got a new camera set up too which includes something almost like a camera stand. Its working a lot better than my previous video, for which the camera setup involved gaffer-taping my macbook to the desk at a worrying angle…

Single Line – Emirates Air Line

This week I was lucky to be one of the first people to ride on Londons new cable car, the Emirates Air Line. I loved it, and the cable car full of police men that went past us looked like they were enjoying it too 🙂 Here’s a single-line Air Line drawing, and stay tuned for a video later!

My pencil tin is a nod to one of my other passions besides drawing… pancakes!

Fathers Day

I’m back! Work done, let the blogging recommence 😀 No, I haven’t turned to drink during my blogging hiatus, this was a drawing for a fathers day card.

Inky Tale

A friend was telling me about her late father; as a young man he got a tattoo in France using illegal blue ink. The ink was prone to swelling in sunlight and distorting the image. But it ment that when my friend was a little girl she loved to see her fathers seahorse tattoo puffing up its blue tummy in summer. Sometimes a mistake we make turns out to be a wonderful thing further along the line.

I’m taking a short break from blogging while my university deadlines are looming. Normal service should resume in June, I’ll see you then  🙂

Oooooooo-lon

When I was little I used to listen to War of the Worlds while going to sleep. There was nothing scarier than when Earth succumbed to the Red Weed… well maybe the cry of the aliens “Oooooooo-lon!”
