Inspiration

I've been running a little short on time and energy for drawing lately due to full time OT-ing. But ideas for illustration projects are accumulating, in part helped by visiting various exhibitions such as Paula Rego and Honore Daumier at the House of Illustration where there were some incredibly powerful illustrations. I particularly liked a Rego pencil drawing entitled 'envy' which shows a woman loaded with emotion, fists and jaw clenched looking sideways toward an unknown trigger... Here's a sneaky snap I took, which doesn't do it justice but at least gives an impression...


I've also been looking through old scrapbooks, which have become a little redundant since I started using Pinterest, but nothing beats leafing through a physical collection of things I love visually... 


Hoping to go to this print exhibition next week too -> http://maa.cam.ac.uk/maa/power-of-paper/

And then I promise to get on some drawing. Promise.
