Brian

One of my favourite sketches so far. My friend, Brian, founder of the Broadcasting School in Christchurch has been supportive of my efforts here. The break through point was his story about a discussion he had a long time ago about publishing, with the then British PM, Harold Macmillan in his capacity as the head of Macmillan Publishers, where they concluded:

“You win some & you lose some, and the important thing is to win a few more than you loose.”

The sentiment is apt for this project in many ways, thanks Brian.

I am going to do a 1000 sketches. My aim is to develop fluidity. I don’t post every sketch & I was about to delete it but this doodle was saved at the last moment by request. Now I quite like it.

Edward stayed with us on the weekend. I noticed how I was taking photos with sketches in mind.

Later: We had conversations about this project, and no doubt will have more. Search (box top right) with the word Edward.

Nando is our 3 year old ocicat, jungala variety.

Later (December 06): I look back & I like the sense of line I see here – see post on Signature
