Sketchy 154

….electrolytes…

…prescribed “cures”…

…boosters…

…nope…

…(and somebody suggested I needed a Dooom cloud)….

…(can’t remember the context for any of these words but keep an eye on the ainjell)….

Sketchy 152

…by late December last year the detail was starting to leak back into my sketchbook…

…rather than just leaking out of my head….

Sketchy 151

…more mobile…

…but less movement….

…(and a lot of diagonal lines)….

Sketchy 150

….gosh…

…still catching up on December sketches from last year…

…looking at this stuff for the first time in awhile….

…didn’t realise how much the long covid fatigue thing had affected how I apply ink to paper…

….(getting better slowly as will be attested to by the next 10-15 pages of sketchbook)….

…(stay tuned)….

Catching Up On Stuff

…did this ages ago….

…already posted, I know, but now it has a frame around it…

…and around the time it was completed,I photocopied it a bunch of times and did this with it….

..don’t go looking for it as it’s already been overpainted by some graf addict with a three letter tag…

…so I cut them up and did this….

…which ultimately led to the circled skulls I posted a month or so back…

…mmmmm…decoupage….

…(this one is my favourite)…

…(or maybe it’s the red one)…

Circled Skull Blue

…blue blue…

…circled blue…

…that’s the colour of my room…

…where I will live…

…in circled skullers….

…(saxophone solo)…

…(sorry Dave)…

Circled Skull Green

…number four in the series of seven….

…(damn…that last shot is blurry!)…

…(but illustrative…..right?)….

Circled Skull Yellow

….you know there’s going to be one of these for all seven colours of the rainbow, right?….

…just as well you’re sitting comfortably….

….could be a long (colourful) week…

Circled Skull Orange

…because…

…once I’d done the red one I had to see what all the colours looked like….

…actually, all I could do at this point of my covid journey was paint circles and I had a bunch of these skulls….

…so…
