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 [...]
Let there be Guppies
I have just discovered guppies. How did that take so long? It’s funny how many things I’ve been completely disinterested in until I drew one and suddenly shazaam. Instant obsession! It happened for a while with ships when I went down to the docks one day with my mum to paint the old tugboats at [...]
Anatomy of a Drawing 1
I thought it would be interesting to dissect a drawing, so to speak. This is one from my Moleskines collection, book two. It began with a what should I draw? kind of question, and a suggestion from Peter of a walrus. No more of an idea than that. I pulled up photos from the computer [...]

Mondoodle 28-12-09
In this twilight moment of 2009 I wish you happiness and great beginnings.
I hope you all get a brief respite from work – I’m having one and it is much needed. Next year is going to be exciting and challenging and I’m looking forward to it. But I’ll think about that soon. For now, here’s [...]
Galleries
I went in to the city on Friday to check out a show. Now, some of you will think that this would be a regular thing for an artist to do. Like film students go to cinemas and writers read books. Unfortunately not. I’m basically a tethered hermit-artist (more crab than monk – I’ll take [...]
On the run and fashion
There’s a little bit of panic that sets in at times each year. It’s when I’m falling behind a little bit with new things looming and I start having unsettling dreams about being chased all the time. No difficulty in interpreting those particular bludgeons of the subconscious.
At the moment I’m finishing designs for a cute [...]
Memories
I really envy people their good memories. I don’t have one. I have a terrible one really. And I think I’ve lost so much of my childhood which, being a children’s writer, it would be really good to access! We were talking about memories on the weekend during the session on Grand Final day. One [...]
Jumbled
Three things:
1. Just had a great meeting with Allen & Unwin to talk about a new project. It’s been a long time in the wings and is finally getting ready to start (after the epic is finished). A little archaeology, a little mayhem and a lot of film noir!
2. I’m off to Traralgon this weekend [...]
