tests

I finally got round to putting a couple images on a screen. I have another image to sort tomorrow. The three will then fit together. These were just test prints on to paper, and there were some places that needed filling. I'm hoping it will print up well tomorrow, all going to plan.

hair drawings

i wanted to get some drawing done today to play with some ideas. i used an older print image for the starting point for this one. it doesn't really work but it do like the hair. i was just thinking about hair growth being a constant in our lives, and this is something i may take further. the triangular blocks were more to do with the idea of shelter and i had wanted to bring in shapes representing home but they became too obvious. so i went with the more abstract shapes and don't think they work, but they could work by them selves in a full circle i think, perhaps with other imagery in the centre? not sure yet though.

i was really pleased with this one though. and i like the way the character is almost feline too. this is something that could work using the ladies i drew before. a series of portraits. the ink works really well too to give the drawings a richness.

women drawings

some drawings i did at the start of the year i think. just initial drawings. not sure what i will do with them at the moment. my favourite is the bottom one. I was also playing around with the idea of teaming up the figurative drawings with looser abstract shapes/textures.

Another by Janka Malkowska. I think he looks like a young Andy Warhol for some reason. This could have been a work in progress, the people at the studio are not quite sure, but the hand seems somewhat incomplete.
