Thank you! I enjoyed your drawings too, but failed to mention so in the other thread as I was a tad overwhelmed with other things going on. > What is the surface? it looks silky and wibbley which contrasts > interestingly with the structured geometry of the images. The ones on the "book" image on the front page are drawn in HB pencil on a thick textured card/paper book with a concertina binding (the other side of the paper remains untouched, so I can draw another 23 pictures - saving for rainy day inspirations). The book is a family heirloom (from the father of a friend of my mother), not sure of its original origins, he was an architect/designer/artist or something along those lines as far as I know - hopefully i get to visit Berlin this autumn and visit the family friends and learn more of my family history too. The other images are on a mixture of papers - the earlier ones were biro and / or coloured pencil on paper towels (intended for drying hands, I had no other paper freely available at that time), then I got some regular A4 general purpose paper and a very good friend later provided a variety of papers including 1mm graph paper, 5mm isometric paper, 43gsm layout paper (which is thin enough to trace through but opaque), tracing paper (which is glossy and translucent), and I also (when I was well enough to leave the ward with an escort) got some 5mm squared paper too. And my scanner is slightly dodgy, and I didn't do anything beyond resizing the images to (really tiny) for the website - eventually I'll get bigger versions online but if you have any particular favourites point them out and I'll upload bigger versions of those. Got another 40 sheets of scrappy unfinished ideas and work in progress to scan next time I'm really really bored :) Anyway, I now have a big (32l) box full of different papers and drawing / painting stuff, so I have plenty of scope to create more - it's a matter of time - not enough hours in the day - though maybe I should get into a routine (s'been years since I had a proper one) and set aside an hour a day solely for drawing / writing / painting / and other analogue art. > : ) > R Thanks again, Claude -- http://mathr.co.uk _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
