This is where it all started in 88...

Back in 89 I loved to sketch, while I could always draw (copy other images/photos mainly) this was the first year I really made any effort to study from life.

Let sleeping dog lie

A dogs dream

So as Ant set me the task of clearing out the attic today, just so we can put more junk in there!
I came across a folder of old drawings I did in the 90s.
Here is a sketch of Sam, the border collie we had when i was growing up in my teens and early 20s while he was asleep on my bed.

A new year, a new start.

You know that problem when your work turns into your hobby? The line is so blurred you don't know if you should be working or suppose to be having fun.

I turn 40 in 13 days time and with the start of this new year I am going to try and spend my home time doing the stuff I love.

This blog will contain and a mixture of new and old drawings/paintings/2D and 3D models, or basically anything I feel is arty enough.
