A place to put the ideas that fall out of my head. Most of them don't make sense.
Sorry about that.

System Crash Sketches
Here are a couple of sketches I did whilst waiting for the computers at work to unfreeze. They crash with an alarming regularity, so this may become a regular feature of the blog...
Do you read any drawing blogs? My friend MJ has just got into paper craft blogs and there's one that she follows that suggests a theme for the week, then you have to make a card to fit the theme. It's supposed to be a good way to stretch the creative muscles and come up with ideas that you maybe wouldn't have thought of before. You have such awesome sketches, you should totally get into blogging them more regularly or coming up with a story for them or something. You never know, it might lead to a book deal, a la Julie and Julia!
I follow a couple of drawing blogs - Gweenbrick and Hyperbole and a Half spring to mind! Plus a couple of more 'serious' drawing ones. I like the idea of being given a theme and working around that - sometimes it's good to have a prod when you're sat staring blankly at the computer screen! Thanks for the compliment! I always feel my sketches are a but half-done, or preliminary. It's funny you mention coming up with stories; I have literally hundreds of comic strips I've drawn over the years. Maybe I'll revamp a few and post them here...
