Here in England we are having the first summer for several years. As you can guess everyone is going absolutely mad for it and having sexy parties all day and night. Here are some of my observational drawings from some of these sexy parties, made between drinking huge bags of warm beer and boxes of chips and fried things.
Drawings and writing from a new sketchbook. Did most of these on holiday in front of the telly.
A nice photocopy of a picture I am working on. The full colour version will be in pinks and reds and whites and greys, with some kind of background.
Like I say, I’m just gathering ideas here. Some kind of drawing brain storm. Not sure if these are characters in a story that I’d like to write or not. When I drew this I was imagining that the lads were from different families that had different traditions of facial hair and paint. I will draw more with beards and things rather than just bum fluff moustaches like these ones.
The stand is for people to lie on after they’ve passed away. I think I’ve seen a photo of a real one in a book about Native Americans or something. Not sure what the point of it would be in real life, but in my story they’d build the stands really high to help the spirit of the old dead person climb up to the heavens.
I did this secretly at a place where I should’ve been doing something else. Don’t tell anyone please. I did it with a biro and a pad of post its on my lap, and then stuck it all together on my computer.
From the sketchbook
Here’s a bit of a drawing I’m working on at the moment. The picture is of two lions with full facial hair fighting with a woman in a forest, with bits of leaves and complete birds flying everywhere.
These are two badasses. As you can see they are dangerous people and I would be wary of them. The one on the left has tattoos, which are dangerous indeed and the man on the right is on something and has long hair. I imagine the one on the left to be the cleverer one. The long hair would be a bit jittery and snigger and get nervous, swishing his hair around looking for the fuzz. The one on the left is called Tony.
In case you ain’t guessed it, my favourite thing to draw is faces. Here are a selection of the latest ones I’ve drawn.
