sketchbook

13th February 2025

Hi there - it’s been a while since I’ve showed up on here, but I’ve been looking at what I think could be a really good platform for my work. I’m not saying anymore at present as I’m still trying t get my head around it, but if it works it could be a good alternative to social media, which I talked about briefly in my last post. Since then I have been back on those sites, Facebook and Instagram (but not Twitter - I couldn’t bring myself to turn over that rock again, except to sign in just long enough to delete my account).

I haven’t done much in the way of art so far. I had a brief return to the sketch book and prepared some canvases for painting but haven’t started anything yet. I’m having a hard time really getting into anything and working consistently on my art practice. So apart from one pencil sketch and a couple of ink drawings there’s not much to show for 2025 so far. All of which sounds a bit negative but I retain hope that things will pickup soon. Maybe I just needed this time out.

In the meantime, here’s a drawing I did last week. At some point I hope to realise it as a painting, part of the Dark Discoveries series and inspired by The Twilight Zone….
