For the uninitiated: this is supposed to depict a sleeping bag draped over a chair.

Here’s a bunch of preliminary brush/ink doodles from way back in 1991 (click thumbs for full view). They’re part of a school assignment that included creating a poster, folder etc. to promote the wonderful town of Barcelona which we’d visited previously. As usual, the (splendid!) architecture of the city didn’t tickle my creative juices as much as the people I observed there — my brain works funny that way. Brush and ink is a wonderful yet tricky medium, though I think these turned out satisfactory. It’d be fun to vectorize them — I may well do that shortly.
And if architecture’s your thing, check out Evy’s beautiful sketches of Barcelona!
Suitable for a first of November I guess: my interpretation of Neil Young as pictured on the cover of his seminal album Tonight’s The Night which deals with drug-abuse and subsequent death. The songs on it are raw, unpolished and very dark. If you haven’t given TTN a listen, you really should. Followed by some of Paul Anka’s “Rock Swings” because, you know, we all need to take a break from being deep, torn, twisted and profound every so often!
“Cut it with the world war I stuff already, moonbug! We’re bored and want to see new drawings!” (this is my imaginary audience talkin’.) Well okay here’s some random stuff you may or may not like:
Guy looking up, middle-aged greaser and seml-nude study.
Hey look. It’s a non-existent guy with a moustache. What more can I say.
Poor Attempt At Chair.
Dead objects are boring to me. But I guess you figured that out by now.
Think I’ll call this “Studious Man With Quif And Glasses Drawing Self Studiously”.
Parisian prostitute, mid 19th century. Or maybe a medieval witch, right before she’s burnt at the stake! Who knows.
Back in art school one of our assignments was to make a series of drawings based on a single theme. The theme I chose was “people watching TV”. Below are some of the preliminary sketches I made (not the finished artwork). I drew my inspiration mainly from a photobook called, guess what, “Television”. Hope you like them.
