Reptile Enchantment

Garf and Diane

Diane and Garf are two of Iris's favourite toys. Diane is a dragon and is a bit 'busy'. Garf is a tall spotty mouse.

Further Mummybabies

party bag of messy surprises

I found this sequence of photographs of a falling cat. I liked it.









Pastels are messy. I am messy.





Man and animal.





Million Dollar Man.





Wrestler.. stretching the definition. Messy plastic paper.





I used this discarded warrior drawing to try to make lines a bit like William Blake and think what I could do with them.





Finally: a snake so big and evil he didn't quite all fit on the scanner.

Tactile Stockpile of Nubile Reptiles

Deeply Stupid Leopards

I wanted to get the expression my cat Joyce gets when she's in the middle of washing and suddenly looks like she thinks she's remembered something important. Also, this is what a monkeycat looks like if you haven't seen one before.





Some of these drawings I am reproducing tiny as I think they're a bit rubbish but for some reason don't want to leave them out completely.





Since I've been working in a shop, I try to make quick things count more. It feels like it matters to maintain a flow. It's partly to try to overcome my procrastination.





I'd like to do some proper leopardish paintings soon. That involve acrylic and even gouache. And even colours.
