New Artwork

Originally this was only going to be a trial for a much larger artwork, but I quite like how it turned out on its own. After a couple of years of large format pieces (mostly A1,) I’ve rediscovered the (relatively) low stress of small format again. It’s no big deal to get halfway through an ink drawing on A3 or A4 and have to start again, which is great if you’re a chronic smudger like me!

Anyway, I’ve been reading a lot of magazines over the summer and found an art competition to have a go at, as well as finding a few illustration and design-orientated mags that I really like. I can’t say that I enter competitions with a great deal of expectation (you know, in the sense that I don’t spend much time thinking about my triumphant acceptance speech and how I will cope with my sudden rise to fame), but it’s good to have things to work towards.
