Industrial Doodle
I mentioned yesterday that the title page drawing in my new book was showing through slightly on the following page. However, looking at it today, it didn't seem so bad after all, and perhaps it was due to the fact that the ink was still slightly damp - not wet enough to smudge…

Neurographic Art – Chi-Rho Tree of Life
A dear friend of mine in Brazil has started adding drawings to a beautiful book she acquired recently. The theme is mostly Mediaeval and she is illuminating the paintings and text with gold leaf. Most of the entries are based on prayer, or celebrating heroes of the faith from the past, whose words…

More Neurographic Art – My First Tree
This afternoon I dew my first tree. I was inspired by this YouTube video. The lines were drawn with permanent black fine liner pens, and the corners in the branches were rounded off with a gold Sharpie marker (unfortunately the gold doesn't show up adequately on the photo). The colour was added with…

2021 The Year in Review
The downward spiral In 2020 we longed for the normality of 2019. In 2021 we thought that perhaps 2020 hadn’t been so bad after all. “Three weeks to flatten the curve”? Hmm. The majority are ruled by fear and are willingly giving up their basic freedoms and submitting to totalitarianism. However, for the…
