Yep, another new section to the blog. Maybe I should add one called "What am I actually getting around to finishing". Now that should make for a quick read.
So, I've already said that, prior to being gung-ho about blogging (and after being gung-ho about composting, which I haven't mentioned before, and which I'm actually still pretty obsessive with), I was gung-ho on trying to draw caricatures. I even posted some. And Lee accused me of showing off. And then Lee suggested I include more pictures with my blog entries. Fuck. It's no wonder I'm so riddled with "issues".
Hang on a minute. I don't like the term "gung-ho" - and yet I've used it 3 times in this post (well, actually 4 now), and twice in a previous post.
Anyway, between the caricature stage and the start of the blogging stage, I embarked on a bit of a coloured pencil portraits stage.
I did two, one of Jesamine, and one of Suzy with Connick, which I thought were okay (though I was about to post them here, and when I looked at them I decided they're a bit crap). Then I bought a really big bit of paper, which necessitated me making a really big drawing board, and started a new picture. Sort of a collage - of Jesamine and Connick in fancy dress. Jesamine was dressed as Hermione (from Harry Potter), and Connick was a Jack Sparrow inspired pirate. I created the design firstly as a Photoshop layout, and now I'm working from that. So far I'm happy with it - though with the amount of time I'm spending writing phrases like "gung-ho" willy nilly about the internet (damn, I've done it again), I'm not really spending enough time on it.

Don't bother starting that new section, white space is so not cool, right up there with repeatedly saying 'Gung-Ho'.
You forgot about being gung-ho about home brewing... you have as many 'gung-ho's' as you do 'envies'.
Your isheeeeews jhave nothing to do with me buddy... and of course I am just jealous, would love to be able to draw... like I would love to be able to sing.... but this is about your isheeeeews not mine...
They are not crap, you should post them, but better scanning/photographing of said artwork would be beneficial....
oh my, you are a very talented artist too, I'm not sure why Lee said you were a 'showoff'...
your work is really awesome.
