Contouristy

A contour drawing was required for home-doing this week. (This is where you draw outlines, mostly looking at the subject and not the paper. Potentially disasterous).

I walked on down to Ye Olde Port for mine. Lots of contours resembling lots of tourists. I wish they would have stood more still.

Antlers and stripes

T his is my at-home work-in-progress for the moment.

You could call it my artistic interpretation of my family trip to Park Safari if you require an explanation.

I depart, summer departs, we grow apart

G oodbye sandy beaches and eternal sunsets.

Seeing as it is september, I officially resign from my summer.

The Sand MJ

T his summer I had an extremely spiritual experience.

During one of my strolls across the sandy beach, I was wading the shallow waters with my toes and I came upon a small plastic toy.

At first glance, it looked very much like beach trash, simply washed up onto shore after being discarded by some small child, but upon further inspection I was astounded to discover it was much more than this: given the action figure's pale complexion, sunglasses, gloves and bundled body, it was very clear that I had come across a re-incarnation of the recently deceased Michael Jackson. In action figure form.

Handling him very carefully and respectfully, I hastily gave him a much needed final photo shoot before paying my last respects and re-uniting him with the great blue yonder.

In his glory

He can still sometimes be heard, avoiding paparazzi
Go forth, MJ, and be free

Summer bird

D uring my stay at the lovely Delta beach this summer vacation, I painted this bright bird. (perhaps a month ago..)

Doesn't he just squak summer?
