have recently been in sheffield with a dear friend, this was something i was working with before i left, a design of some sorts. i enjoy the colour scheme; brown and yellow is just swell

i have always liked the rust on the back of this sign

i felt a need to draw this morning, it was less about capturing and translating an image but more to feel the ink and paper, enjoying the simplicity of drawing. 

it had been a while, it felt good

bloodsports

i hate them

chronology

i was awaiting food to be delivered and stopped my watch when it arrived, i liked the angles the halted hands produced 

quiet

this ornament sits in the porch of miss harwood's house, i see it every time i walk in and out and have always liked, how its sits there watching, waiting and how it will never do anything else but sit in silence. im quite fond of it's little place in the corner of the window.

perhaps the sun has got me thinking of summer, this are some snippets of a summer journal i completed in 2009

i was manipulating shadows with a ruler set

i have posted this before but believed it deserved to be shown with a better lens, so have done so.

besides that it does please me, so why not share it again

i dipped a cotton bud in ink and pressed it to the page, i continued until it stopped

the end result of my narrative project: it began with shapes and ended in murder; i began exploring (as may have been see in earlier posts) into shapes and colour and was intending on a story of movement and position, but my concept soon swayed towards the story of the moors murders, there was something disturbingly alluring about them and i contemplated the thought of a story depicting them. i ultimately chose to fabricate a story of a lost boy, who is taken on his way home from school; the book reveals his murder, from the class room to the grave. i chose to use the images of the rabbit as i felt it represented something harmless and innocent that can be slaughtered in such a disgusting way and this action mirrored the end of the boy. his name 'peter potter' is a reference to peter rabbit and beatrix potter a small trigger that might jolt a few memories. this is his exercise book.

whilst i was waiting; it was a clear day and i looked up

map

a map i drew, it is featured in the book i produced (which i shall post at a later date). it was inspired by a drawing in a book which was given to me by madamthumb called 'new italian architecture'; its got some splendid images in there and well worth a look. i could of traced the image but decided  that id spend a good hour or so drawing it myself
