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.

Moleskine 2 38 Made it!

Its funny how things turn out.

I like the imagery I have used here. Geometric blocks Isometric/vanishing point? and the lone, faceless character. I think my current move to brown pen has helped me - sounds funny - but the brown is less stark against the page softer... and less prone to smudging! The Pilot G-tec 4 is a bit fine but I have two so need to make use of them.

I am going to try working this image up in paint and in a slightly larger format:
2 block colours.
Stencil?
Block cut?

I will return to this once I have time to paint.

Moleskine 2 37 Doodling myself out of a block?

Something a tiny bit different from the norm. I normally try and doodle round or through blocks I guess I am just stressed at the minute, which is another reason why I try and doodle and sketch, just to find some tranquility.

I have found that my doodles and ideas aren't going any further than the page of my 'Skine. The tail end of last year and the beginning of this one found me with a fair amount of creative stuff to get on with but all is barren now.

Maybe I should do what I am already doing - putting pen to paper.

Moleskine 2 34 Clouds and Flame ?

I was at a loss for something to doodle, no crazy characters popping into my head, no thoughts or ideas to put onto paper. I started doodling these cloud formations although they seem to have turned into smoke and fire.
I found it quite relaxing to doodle these, applying lots of ink to the paper was quite therapeutic and enjoyable.

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.
