Digitals 2 - Still silly

I am still doing some real drawing. Well, real drawing is still what I spend a lot of time thinking about, when I'm at baby groups and walking around pretending to be normal. I am pleased with how quickly I can do these though. Time and energy pretty comprehensively compromised these days.

Comeback

Britney made a comeback











I sorted my old drawings into folders... some of them I felt were worth revisiting





I work in a shop now some of the time. My mind is less on the internet. Which is good. It's more with people, but then I can't share that with you.

Old Thing

More old stuff.. a poster for one of those art show thingies that we kids used to put on right here and now by ourselves. This is I guess from 2000 or 01. 01 I guess. I started having retrospectives quite early.

Britney Spears

I suppose I felt sort of neutral about Britney, I didn't want to be mean to her while she's all troubled. But I persevered and tried to 'take her somewhere' in my drawings, because she's still fascinating to me in moments. Done these sporadically over past few weeks.

Pretty photoshoot photoshop Britney is a different creature to out on the town wig buying smudgy eyeliner sad trashy Britney. But she can still be interesting. It's like trying to capture the creature that they were aiming for, rather than a whole person.





But she has seemed more like a real person in recent times, if a somewhat messed up one.





I never want to be cruel in my drawings, just honest about what I see, or inventive with the things I can see.

It's hard not to give caricatured Britney huge eyes and a wide head to accomodate how far apart they are.









I used to draw britney back in '99, next to Pikachu. Now she likes to go to strip clubs and have people take pictures of her bottom.














She still scrubs up well.





Drawing her now is like drawing an elusive sort of emptiness. I hope she'll be alright in the end.
