30, 31st of August, 1, 2, 3 & 4th of September - daily drawings

suffocating into that all too familiar darkness (drawing skills are plummeting with  all else) / back to therapy (framing moons) /  despairing prowls of London’s streets and wandering through the British Museum - can it be called running away when you’re still in Zone 1? / finishing ‘the secret history’ by donna tartt (such a wonderful read) / watching London burn down (again) and hearing the wood crackling from our viewing perch on a roof before being shunned by security

skipping ahead but perhaps the only (slightly) festive drawing made this winter. found a spray painted leaf lunar and i’d take the smell of pine to visions of sugar plums any day

Drawing on the Underground

11th+12th January

Bit behind with the ‘drawing a day keeps the ills at bay’ but there are the little drawings from that fateful day - the roses my Mother and I laid at the Brixton mural (there were probably only around a dozen) - but oh how it grew!

Winter 2016 parts of / bedroom still life (Jack Daniels was my first drink of teenage choice, it used to burn my throat but now all it burns is wax) / work still life (although not still at all - thoroughly enjoy watching people jump/ would recommend the Kentridge show) / Leighton House Museum & who knew such exoticism lay in grey ol’ Kensington / curation projects on youth culture / finally feeling scholarly and excited to follow these threads

11, 12, 13 & 14th of July - daily drawings

canine comforts / the prettiest plate I’ve had the pleasure to eat off / Grandad’s nutritional ‘hand bag’ / day one of Latitude festival - haven of bleating candy floss, ferns under foot and opening ceremony - gloaming of rabbit heads floating moons and Bowie’s heroes

26, 27, 28 & 29th of August - a drawing a day

London people watching - spying a checkered chello man / Regents Canal walks to the Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities and nestled between rubber intimate parts was this book title and dusting butterflies and ‘SUMMER CAN’T LAST’ almost made me cry / wonderful what a bit of silliness can do for the soul  - larking about with dear friends in celebration of a second birthday (complete with salted caramel cake and a new sketchbook no less) / comfort of Grandad’s armchair
