London Bookfair - I'm almost famous!

Thanks to Moleskine and their stand many many people had the chance to get their hands on my doodles.



I'm pretty pleased, getting my name up and having my moleskine out there for others to view. All buying types for the most part, but, it still feels good!

New Moleskine!

I have just started my second Moleksine of the year.....




Actually, this is a lie I have just stated my third Moleskine, a sketchpad. This, my second, was started at the begining of the month at the end of my holiday. This Moleskine should have MORE added value being that I am using coloured pens, which is a very large departure from my usual, anal, monochromatic self.

Is this departure reflecting a new found maturity and easing of insecurities? or just becuase I like some of the coloured Gel-pens that are around? It is probably a bit of both.

The great thing about having two hungry cats is that I have lots of cat food boxes on which I can paint and doodle. The downside is that, as a hoarder, I am fast running out of space to keep the material and then to keep my creations after I have finished. A lot has been dropped at various Birmingham City locations, and elsewhere, as Free Art but this still leaves a lot remaining. i will be distributing this little collection over the next few days and week, freeing up space for me to start on something else.

My Moleskines

I had always thought that Moleskine were too expensive for general jotting and doodling, an extravagance that could be left alone. After going through various sketchpads, notepads, jotters sometimes not even finishing a whole pad I now realise that I was wrong.

I have just finished my first Moleskine, a 9x14cm squared journal having filled almost every page with my doodles and jottings of ideas and have started on my second, of the same type. As stated in a previous post I have also completed a Japanese folding journal for Moleskine.

I am sure that there are other pads and journals which are equally as good, if not better, but at the moment thses journals are proving ideal to note and store ideas and doodles, they feel right in my hands and it is a pleasure to fill their blank pages.

At the moment I aim to fill two or three pages per day, somedays I wont touch it but on other days I can get a burst of creativity and fill up many, many pages. The act of putting pen to paper acts as a release and I can enjoy a few moments of really simple pleasure.

So, there I was at the launderette washing some clothes when it hit me.

Reaching into my bag I pulled out this freshly prepared face and stuck it in one of the dryers. I think that it was taken, I would like to think so, but it probably ended up in the bin, being on a holiday park I think that whoever was going to dry their clothes wouldnt be the sort of person to appreciate Guerrilla art in their whites!

I was there, so maybe.......

During my week long holiday to Westbay, Bridport. I thought I might share some art goodness with the locals, and holidaymakers.

In the holiday park phonebox I put these two creations up. When I came back the cardboard had been taken but the driftwood guy was still hanging around.

So, to someone at Westbay near Bridport, Devon, thank-you and enjoy!
