Mondoodle 8-11-2010

I have been thoroughly AWOL for the last couple of weeks because I was in JAPAN! (Insert face-breakingly enormous smiley here.) And what’s more it was for a holiday. An actual holiday – I took no drafts, didn’t jot ideas, wrote none of my novel and only drew about twice. Really and truly. It was [...]

Here’s a happy one I was in class last night and the pen was playing around (picture a disembodied hand autonomously drawing if you like). And here’s what it drew. Some time ago I did a girl in gumboots and mud using a newspaper as an umbrella. I liked that so it found its way [...]

Why hello there. So I tried to draw another girl yesterday and while I couldn’t make her very happy, I could at least make her a good gutsy character. I’d say the girls are here to stay. Yes, a few more boys will creep into the mix, but I couldn’t give up my little characters. [...]

Here are a couple of quick sketches done out in the street with a little bit of watercolour put on later. It’s lovely getting to draw people when they’re not looking. I’m actually very shy of doing this very often. I know it’s important to practise but I’d hate people to feel embarrassed about it. [...]

We went in to the Mercy Hospital today for my 20 week ultrasound with the sneaking suspicion that we would be seeing two boys on the screen. And we were absolutely right… clear as day, squirming and headbutting each other. Nothing can go wrong there! When I got home it was time to finish my [...]

I am typing to the sound of lumpy bricks being assaulted. It’s a bit of a mafia job really – think noses and ears being removed before being given concrete boots. Another way of looking at it is that we’re having some of our walls rendered, including in the studio. Which means my studio doesn’t [...]

Here’s a little one I didn’t quite get to upload yesterday. I might colour it actually. He’s called Fly-Boy. I think you can see why. Very intrepid! Drawn in the studio on Monday September 6, 2010. It’s Spring! Bring on some sunshine.

I’m following a white rabbit right now. It’s having a rest in a cafe to my right and is flying in a balloon on my left. That often happens – an idea or a subject likes to get out in multiple formats for a while until I know it well and know how best to [...]

I’m up in the studio bright and early this morning. It’s one of those beautiful Melbourne winter days where the sky is a delicate blue and the sun fills brittle air. I don’t know if I am imagining it but winter sunlight still looks cold. Perhaps it is just because I know that the wind [...]

I was working hard all weekend (hello to everyone at the markets) and then spent the last two days at a school, MGC, in Richmond. Hello awesome girls! We had a very productive and fun two days. Well I [...]
