Yes, ten of my (mostly continuous) line drawings showing at Cafe Wander in Glasgow. All of November and 'til the end of December.
If you're in the area, do please feel free to pop along for a look. :)

Made for the Team We Draw October Challenge, The City.
The city is different from the suburbs in a number of ways, but the thing I notice most nowadays is the shape of the sky; it's a narrow irregular wedge in the city, and it's different on every street.
(I think this project might grow some more...)

I'd taken some shots of these drawings on friday, to post them on etsy. But it was late, and I used the anglepoise for light, and didn't think they worked. So the next day I took these in the daylight.
(Coinciding with flickr's downtime.)

I've been toying with user settings on the camera, to try and cut down some of the pp time. I shifted the colour balance a little further towards green, and dropped the saturation. (Then I forgot I'd had the white balance set for fluorescent light the night before, and that's given it the lovely lilacyblue hue, which I left because I quite liked it.)

Props in use at atyn last week; I thought the model really worked those wings, channelling fallen angel in every pose.

I'm thinking of making this blog about drawing, and things connected to drawing. It's very much under construction at the moment, and I'm newish to blogging. I'm on flickr.

I've been making some life drawing recently at the Flying Duck's club night All the Young Nudes. It's been great to pop along for two hours, drink some peppermint tea, and draw.

This drawing is one of two that were included in an All the Young Nudes group exhibition, as part of the Space Made Live event hosted by Small Media Large, The Arthouse, 752-6 Argyle Street, Glasgow, on the 12th and 13th June 2010.
