The arrangements of these shapes continue to interest me. This weekend I need to do the following:

Washing and ironing.
have a tidy round the house.
work on some scaled up artworks and manage some test pieces.

Hopefully I can get something meaningful out of my Moleskine and onto some card, canvas etc.

Finally had an upgrade to my system since my last two installs of Windows went bonkers. Windows wouldn't pick up my HP printer/scanner properly and started throwing fits if it picked it up at all.
Anyway I have now been pursuaded to convert to Linux, and am actually impressed. I can now use my printer and scanner without any issues.

Anyway another page from my current Moleskine, doodles as usual. I have really been struggling to put anything to paper this last week or so, mainly by being to busy and getting really stressed because of work, upcoming marriage and the looming possibility of moving house!

I just filled the left hand page trying to get something onto paper and then moved over to these oddball guys on the right. The cloud formations are something I am playing with.

This character is cropping up pretty frequently in my scribbles.
Faceless, I think that it is difficult to see what emotions these guys portray.

LH: This guy is concerned at the amount of bugs crawling along the floor. Dunno what he is going to do about them though.

RH: A snakey character. He is going to bite his tail only because I couldn't think of anything else to draw at the top of the page.

I really like the snake but at the moment cannot think how to move this forwards. It is a good, simple idea and character, hopefully something will come to me.

LH: A little character I came up with, just waving at me in his little landscape with stars and satellites passing over his head.

RH: Some head thing with lightning bolts raining down on it. The large scribble was somthing I decided against continuing with.

I decieded to use the squares in my Moleskine. Its not a succesful attempt on either page but could be promising for the futue if I decide to go 'pixel'.

The Long legged head is back and devouring those abundant rain drops. The cloud looks unhappy about the situation but wnat can it do? Where is that superhero?

Lots of worms on the other page, I was tired and bored and I just don't like em' I hope that hole hides something nasty for them!

Another selection of pages from my Moleskine.

LH: A selection of characters past and present, dredged up from my imagination, the dark flying guy uis one of my favourites. He's kinda like a superhero, kinda.

RH: The dark hero, as I have named him, makes another appearance, saving the life of a raindrop. Its a pity he couldn't save them all, but its a big ask. Obviously, the other raindrops will be a bit miffed as will most of the clouds, even though their responsibility ended at the point of dropping the rain.

This is the first post in ages that I haven't 'blogged' from my Flickr account. Its simpler to blog from Flickr although you do loose control over the labeling and have to edit.

Pages from my current Moleskine.
L/H: A bit S&M from an idea about S&M.

R/H: Admiring eyeballs or single eyed sperm? No, I have no idea, Sometimes the pen is is control, othertimes, I have a vague idea and set it down as quickly as possible.

I may go somewhere with the left hand doodle, possibly becuase I have continued the SM theme elsewhere.

Again, the photo is ropey, taken with my camera phone K800i.

I have changed over from the Paperchase pad that I was using previously. Mainly because the Moleskine folds flat and the paper is heavier.

I have already filled 60 or so pages with doodles and ideas and will use Flickr as a repository for the pages.

For my birthday I was given another moleskine, the sketchpad one, with heavy paper so I can use that for colour trials and artworks.

Oh, my PC is having issue at the moment so I am unable to scan, hence the dodgy photo and photos in particular - Blame HP and Gimp !.
