The Wild Swans, A Swan Prince.

Done with pen and ink. Firstly with pen. Gel ones from muji. Not really a fan of fine liners and drawing pens, they're a little too precise. Then scanned and reprinted on cartridge, something my printer is a little temperamental about, but this way the ink doesn't run. So then inked and coloured, and rescanned for tweaking. And that, in a nutshell, is my process for the moment for most drawings.

At the hospital (lgi) in leeds yesterday post horrific afternoon, in that new jubilee bit, I found a rather serene roof garden. Downfall being you can't smoke on hospital grounds. Lovely view none the less...

Drawing up ideas.

My new work station seems to be train carriage tables. Bit bumpy but I'm getting used to it. In all a bad week but I won't bore you with the details. I'll just blog what I've recorded so far with my rather handy phone camera...

Frankenstein's getting married. That's Victor. Not his monster...

Just arrived. Suitable suited and most definitely booted in black and silver. Wish I had me some eyeliner though...

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!

New books. Lovely pretty beautiful new books. And 50% of the profits from the Edith Wharton (yup that's my surname too...) go towards the product(red) aids charity. See. Beautifully designed books, typography, illustration. It really can save lives. Especially when mugs like me in a rather manic mood stumble into waterstones with a credit card in the jeans pocket... And the other one. Well. It's a roughcut penguin classic deluxe edition. My favourite new collection of books. This one's illustrated by Lilli Carre, with an accent on the e. And type design by Paul Buckley. Oh yeah. The product red book's by Nathan Burton, who I am now definitely a fan of.
