All Smiles On These Dials

Scan 101

 

…so, flicking thru the sketchbook I came across a series of these tapa cloth inspired doodles that were drawn over a period of three or four days and decided that they should be reproduced in colour….

…and at twice the size that they were doodled at… A4 instead of A5….

…am kinda wishing that the manic-sans-nicotine state that they were created was still available to me in a non nicotine consuming way…

…’cos they sure are laborius to do.
