Mondoodle 01-03-2010

Today’s Mondoodle is one of my favourites. Although it feels like it came from nowhere… today I looked an “Bird” the artists book by Kat Macleod, I sat having a coffee at uni with papers swirling and flapping around me in a vortex of wind, I flew home fast on my bicycle in the cool [...]

Behind me, before me

I’ve been burning the midnight oil this past month, finishing off the last of my normal book jobs. We’ve had the oh-so-cute picture book My Boots in Season drawn, painted, fonted and handed in. And then yesterday I rode my bike into the city to hand in Sarindi’s Dragon Kite. What a job that was! [...]

Ah, hindsight

Well you learn something new every day… 1. I do like hard work and, not being a morning person, I actually like working late at night.* 2. Working on a nice hot lightbox is best reserved for winter, if possible.** 3. Bugs are attracted to lightboxes on hot summer nights. 4. Flywire is recommended for studio windows. 5. Bugs are [...]

j’aime le marché

It’s time again for the o-so-brilliant 10 – 4pm @ the Brunswick Town Hall 233 Sydney Rd, Brunswick, VIC. If you’ve never visited, you should come along. If you have already then you know this is always a good one. Don’t be put off by the scaffolding outside for all is quite normal within. I wonder what I should [...]

The drawing two-step…

I was talking to someone outside the gym the other day and she said it must be hard to work from home. Not really, I said. True and not true. Today I find myself working but succumbing to my usual problem. No matter what I am working on I always seem to want to work on [...]

I’ll just do a little more…

On that last Mondoodle. Which leads me to a question. When is a picture finished? How do you know when to stop? Sometimes I know I go on too far with a picture – there are often lots of points when you think - that’s pretty good now, I should stop… I’ll just do a [...]
