It has been great to take some time off these last two weeks. Still there has been a good bit of drawing while watching films.

Here is a bit of a selection for you. Hope you like it.

Lisnavagh. October 2009

We spent this last weekend with friends in a place called Lisnavagh.

These are a selection of the drawings in my sketchbook.

They include reinterpretations of some of the pictures you could see in the sitting room (mostly people making weird faces).

A lady.

The sitting room (Eve gave me a hand with the painting and the books.)

The view.

A couple of miscellaneous thoughts: “The Ghost that Walks” and Lorca’s “Romancero Gitano”

And finally, a great moment: Linh sleeping.

Hi there,
While I compile all the info on the Illustrating Illustration exhibition and the Rhyme Rag Launch, I leave you with some excerpts from my sketchbook this month. You have pieces inspired in gigs I’ve been to, people I’ve seen or illustrators I admire.

Hope you like them
