These are finished and on the wall in the shop now. This photograph shows them half-done. I'll take some photos of them finished tomorrow. If they don't sell while i'm at home today, that is. Fingers crossed!

I bought some of those prints of the New York skyline from Quality save, or BM Bargains, or Poundstretcher, or somewhere like that. A friend who lives in aforementioned city would like one of my pictures, so this will be for him once it's done, I just can't quite decide what to do with it. Fill in all the buildings white or leave some as they are? I like the contrast as it is between the photograph and the black and white drawings (tracings)...this is why it takes me so fucking long to do anything. Indeciciveness. Or just plain laziness. Or both. Both. Definately both.

For these paintings the client (now that word sounds strange) just wanted me to paint my backgrounds. So, effectively she wanted half-finished paintings. Fine by me. When I took them round for her last night she wasn't so keen on the grey at the bottom, but didn't have the heart to send me back home to do them again. I have therefore agreed to go round one afternoon and work some 'nice terracotta colours' into the bottom of the paintings. Which is also fine by me, as I have been promised tea and cakes.

Since I've been doing the £10 Doodles I haven't had much of a chance to work in my sketchbook. You could say the £10 Doodles are my new sketchbook. Anyway, I was missing it, so I bought a new one.

Blackpool is officially a shit hole. We went for a day, and I did some drawings, because by doing drawings I was able to avoid all the 'fun'.

all except the second one have been sold already, I must update this more often!
