i sketched this while a bbc radio 4 podcast was playing in the background. i kept picking up on a panel discussion of tennyson's poem 'in memoriam' and it sort of infiltrated itself into my drawing. i tried so hard with this one not to include any faces but that exercise proved futile. i can't not draw faces.
i think i like the duplicate more. i love the unintentional quality of the lines, transfered via an over-used piece of carbon paper. and something about this sketch in particular cements my desire to want to start permanent drawings on skin

I found this yesterday. I wasn’t looking for it but it was nice to see it again. It brings back memories of my days working at the National Bank of Kuwait’s now defunct Advertising Department. This folder was especially purchased for a training course I took some time in the early 90s. What I found inside are photos of my works from my first ever solo exhibition at the Boushahri Gallery, a title/price list and a list of the people who purchased my works. I have to say that for a complete unknown, I did pretty well!
The ladybug sticker must have been a later addition. It’s from a sheet of ladybug stickers I used to keep to encourage my very young children to brush their teeth.

my fabulously-proportioned notebook: 14cm x 33.5cm
I did it again, I bought a new notebook. But come on, who can resist a notebook of this size and proportions? And I love the cover! Only little glitch was when i opened it I discovered it was a telephone book so I placed it back on the stack. And then I picked it up again deciding to create my own book of ABCs.
a is for ants
