Arty Farty Update
I've been busy, but for some reason, motivating myself to post has been lacking, so this is just a sample catch up really.
I've finished painting a giant hare for a sculpture trail in Southend, a book bench for a trail in Kings Lynn, and I'm now in the middle of painting a giant rocket for Leicester. The hare and the bench both fitted in the house fine, but the rocket is 1m wide at both base and belly, and all our doors are 90cm max. So I'm set up in my brother in law's garage, which was kind of him!
Rocket progress pics
For scale, with me (I'm 5'1")
It's a urban wildlife theme - so there's a night and a day side, and there'll be various critters featured.
Early days yet though.
In between times I'm trying to draw stuff. Any old stuff really. Here's a doodle page, trying out Zig Writers - I love the fine liner ends of the double ended pens.
I've done a watercolour for Meanttobe, hopefully posting with my author next week, and also in the pipeline are two elephants which will be arriving once the rocket is finished. Fingers crossed I can get them both in the garage! They are much bigger than the Elmers - 3m long!
