#thedailysketch on Twitter.

 

Sketchbook pieces for the Twitter hashtags have been my only art activity of late. The mixed media / collage approach to these sees them also function as a pictorial journal.

Selfies and snow.

Instead of a written diary, I intend making a sketchbook journal for every month this year, a practice I started last December. This month’s theme is self-portrait.

Outside the studio the snow is thawing.

Dull December days.

 

I don't keep a written diary beyond these posts. However, as an experiment, I’ve started to make a video journal using small artworks for each day of the month.

 These December pieces for this month's video journal, are perhaps particularly solitary in nature, repeating the view from my studio window at passing times of the day.

Jam Café, Nottingham.

Out on the town last night. Big wheel on the Market square, Nottingham Contemporary Gallery, and various pubs. Ended the evening in the Jam Cafe listening to a small white reggae combo. Today I stretched some paper ready to do some paintings based on the night.

I walked home afterwards. When I turned the corner into my street who should be there under the streetlamp but Rusty, my spirit friend the fox. She always turns up at significant times. Always a good omen.
