The horse (later a tractor) pulled the spinner along. The net caught the potatoes which were them picked up, usually by women, who put them into sacks for market or the store shed of the farm for saving as seed potatoes.

This piece “Untitled 02/01/2022” or nickname ‘Swirls’ is finally complete. Let me tell you, this one was also a struggle to complete because it went against every grain of my being. Drawing it literally felt like rubbing my fingers against wood grain. Let me explain. When I draw, I follow an intuitive process of, “if it feels right, I draw.” This piece came to me as a vision while driving and it took me several sheets of paper to get it to look as close to my vision as possible. I know that this piece is meant for someone in this world and it will feel right to them. It’s energy, however, doesn’t resonate with me – but that does not mean that even under those circumstances I cannot create work for someone else. So here it is, “Untitled 02/01/2022” is waiting for you. For as difficult as it was for me to make, I hope that it finds you easily. Please share this with your friends :)

Ps, I am going to start shying away from giving my drawings names in order to keep them as pure to their owners as possible. I don’t want to sway anyone’s interpretations of them with my titling. So ‘Swirls’ will be the last nickname I give to an abstract work of art.

I keep whining about how all my photos have power lines cutting through them. Decided to focus my attention on the lines themselves. I will probably make a public pool for these at some point.

Graphite drawing, digitally colored

I thought I would have a play with one of my old drawing's in Photoshop. I liked the idea of turning it red, as Bowie seemed to like this particular colour in this period of his life.

"...If one of the rats is killed, it must be replaced with one made of solid gold. Sighting a white rat amidst hordes of black rats is considered specially auspicious. "

On the subject of a potential extension of the Island Line into Shanklin town centre, the subject of electrification arises. The idea to de-electrify the entire line and run custom-built diesel multiple units is a bad idea, and a step in the wrong direction. I've had a thought whilst researching upon the Parry People Mover ideology: if one built a limited-height (owing to that tunnel under Ryde) Class 139-esque vehicle, said trains could run down from Ryde Pier Head all the way into Shanklin town centre and maybe on to the attraction o' the Old Village. The Island Line current would keep its third rail electrification, and the Shanklin town centre extension would not require OHLE--owing to the flywheel traction that makes the PPM idea contextualisable.

 

Bene: I am aware that it's not terribly detailed.

A homework still life focusing on line quality (i.e. heavier lines advance to the fore, lighter lines recede to the back).

 

DID YOU KNOW? The shape of the Coke bottle was originally intended to be based on the shape of kola nuts and coca leaves, but the artist instead mistakenly based the design on the cacao pod (aka chocolate), and if that's wrong, blame Wikipedia.
