Cabbage - part two

Last night I finally got round to drawing the great cabbage I received in my veggie box this week. It has been years since I have done a drawing like this, and I must say I really enjoyed the experience. I'm fairly pleased with the result and its certainly encouraged me to do more pencil drawings.

Last week I also did a few quick sketches whilst working in Nottingham Craft Mafia Shop. Again very enjoyable. This is more the style of drawing I have been doing of the past few years. I love drawing in pen, it makes you be more certain with the marks you are making and you can make some really interesting marks and textures. Whilst at college I went through a stage of drawing with a stick and ink, I think I may try this again soon.

Many years ago

I've not been at home this weekend, so haven't managed to do any new work (apart from an hour doing some bits in my sketch book, I'll tell you more about that another time). So due to the lack of any new work to show you, the photo's are of a piece I did about 15 years ago. Its about the only thing from my degree that has survived, I think have chucked everything else out, although there maybe some bits in the garage. This piece even takes pride of place in my living room and I have become very fond of it over the years.

Its made from ink drawing on paper, which have been sewn and stuck together, I have molded and sewn some of the paper to create a slightly 3D effect. I used to base alot of my work on architecture, so perhaps this is something I should revisit.
