So my first blog entry in over a week. I have been working mainly in various sketchbooks ambling around different ideas. I have not completed any “finished” as it were due to responsibilies outside of my practice – which in […]
Its been a really productive week. I have been doing more samples and more research. I am very aware that the more artists I look at doing text, how each one influences by judgement. So I now have a choice […]
