Pastel Drawing in Progress
Procrastination with a linocut.
Variable edition. Possibly an edition of 12, with a collection of A/Ps.
Drawing
In theory I draw every day. Sometimes only a doodle on the back of an envelope. On October 14th a crow perched on the roof of the house opposite my kitchen window. I drew the crow. Usually they fly away when I begin to draw, but this one stayed there in the same position for about half an hour.
A couple of days later, a whole row of crows perched on the roof in that same position. 
Mean spirited
Criticism from a friend, in response to my suggestion that his recent work was less joyful than he’d described. He has worked much harder than me, obviously. But I wondered how it feels to make Art from someone else’s words. I like the idea of forgery, which was the subject of my Art college dissertation. So I experimented for a few minutes. Wrong paper, wrong colours, but it was enjoyable making this.
And here is a totally unoriginal work in progress. There isn’t much point continuing with it.

The walk back to Lincoln art college. These steps gave me a sinking feeling of doom for the year I wasted there. It was interesting to go there on Saturday mornings when I was a teenager, but was a very uncreative kindergarten when I became a ‘real’ student. My tutor kept telling me off for wasting my grant. I enjoyed reminding him there were no grants for “non-advanced” courses.
