Hello All,

Been very busy this weekend with private work etc so haven't got much to report. I have been doing some sketching for a college project about Egon Schiele. Basically I have to copy his drawings to further develop into my own style...I have posted my attempt although I'm finding it extremely difficult. It's easy to go off on a tangent with your own figure images but looking at others peoples work is very restricting...Extremely educational though!

Holly :-)

PS. Happy Mother's Day!

Been having lots of fun tidying my little 'art room' or 'box room' as everyone else likes to call it.. Couldn't stand the swamp of magazine cuttings I was standing in much longer so I have actually made lots of recycling piles instead.

I have posted a 3 more images of my sketches from my workbooks. I'm looking again at the the use of the human body with collage and illustration.

I might go on to develop these a bit further as they are only preliminary ideas at the moment. I like the girl with the red boots (in next posts) although it may just look like scribble to everyone else :-)

Hi there,

Im at Uni today trying to muster up the energy to learn flash..its almost painful. I'm finishing a project based on 'time' which consists of 50 images and an animation (which I haven't actually started yet-oops!).

Been having various stressful moments in my head whilst on the train to Cambridge this morning about money- as in, I have none and Im about to leave work (aaah!). Even my i-pod couldn't distract me as I managed to sit on one of the earphones and now I can't hear anything!

Been itching to paint my sketch (posted yesterday) although I've run out of watercolour paper and need to stock up on supplies! Should hopefully manage to get some work done this weekend although it is Mother's Day too (think I might buy me ma' some daffodils).

Thankyou Lorna for your message...it's great to know that other people enjoy looking at my work-that's what it's all about :-)

Hello,

I still can't manage to work out how to put a picture on this website of myself. I've somehow managed to download about 2 new programs but they are not making much sense...help anyone?

I've been painting and gluing for most of the day today until my Mum came over for a cuppa. We talked about her new paintings and me doing a brochure for her to advertise her work.

I need to get some work also but am finding it stressful as to know what to do really. I have lots of ideas for my illustrations although I don't know if they will cut it in the real world. Obviously, I am still a beginner but I'll get there in the ebnd. I'd rather be poor than not be able to draw all day..its addictive.

Have got to go to college tomorrow but I am a bit behind again (the work creeps up so quickly when you are part-time). Im doing a project about Banksy and Egon Schiele. I love Schieles work and thought I loved Banksy's but he's being to tire me. There's not much substance there although I suppose that could be because I am comparing him to Schiele who, in my opinion, is fantastic!

I am still planning to hand in my notice at work at the end of the month...Im a bit more than nervous although I know I will be much happier.

I have posted an image (hopefully) of the sketch I did yesterday. I am planning to produce a series of drawings based on myself for my website. Let me know what you think of the initial draft- Im thinking of using some fuschia pinks and deep purples...quite girly!
