Breakfast Comic Strips

As an exercise I’ve been drawing automatic 'breakfast comic strips' this week - no preplanning, just seeing what comes out.

I usually have extremely vivid dreams & have been suffering from awful anxiety & dread when I wake up in the mornings so this has just been a way to distract myself & to force myself out of it. No rules, but none of them been allowed to have taken more than about 30 minutes to draw (because I have lots of PROPER work to do!) They're extremely variable in quality but I thought some people would be interested to see them. They probably say a lot about my subconscious & obsessions but I'll leave that for you to work out!

Night Terrors

As those of you who follow me on other social media you'll be aware of my sleep struggles so with a cheeky nod to Francisco Goya I've been drawing a few in tired desperation in my sketchbooks which you might enjoy (more than I do!)

 

Band Names

 I went down a little people with band's names wormhole earlier in the year! Enjoy!

Concertina Sketchbook

 I was given this lovely concertina sketchbook as a present from my agents Arena Illustration & decided to take a line for a walk...

'taking a lion for a walk'

'drawing, is taking a lion for a walk' Paul Klee (or at least that's what I thought he said...)

Monkey triangle ensemble

Monkey triangle ensemble - every seaside town should have one!

I have a photo of myself as a sulky 2 year old posing with my dad & a rather wretched monkey in a cardigan from the early '70s - just saying, I don't really condone animals in clothes (unless it's REALLY funny!)

Girl with plaster

Monster town!

Suited & booted for a good night out!

(to be sung to the tune of Lips Inc.'s 'Funky Town' of course!)

Noises...

A page of obscure noises
