This is another page from the sketchbook collection. It’s called 1983  ( Surprise, huh !).  That is the year that Black leather takes place in. Well the main part of it anyway. Below is the full image of the cover for the sketchbook. I realise that these images are not sequential and are probably of little interest to anyone expecting comics from me. But sometimes it’s important to step outside and get some fresh air.

The 1983 image was made by tearing up several ‘failed’ watercolours and joining them together again and painting over them with gesso and ink.

Another clash of colour and line with ranty words that i hear everyday around london. I’m sure it’s all true.  This is the last posting of these next week will be something different. I really have no idea what response these are producing, with this palette, probably projectile vomiting.

After the Saturday events our happy group went for a meal and we were provided with brown paper place-mats. Naturally the pens and pencils came out and we personalised them. I was trying to describe to Sally anne what Charles Burns looked like as we failed to get into his talk. This was from memory as i saw him briefly stop by to talk to Chris and Tom at the Adhouse table.
We didn’t pay for the bill with our sketches, sadly.

A new sketchbook post using collage and brush work. An unfinished psoriasis diary page.

A quiet landscape this morning, straight watercolour.

I started a series of watercolours last December to try out some colour ideas. There was a lot of noodling in the drawing, no real images emerging. I now have a stack of these things with no narrative to connect them. So i decided to start scribbling on them in Photoshop. That’s pretty much it.
