ARTATHON - DAY FOURTEEN

"Chiefs Head". A nod and wink to this current obsession in my work for abandoned theme parks. If you fancied bagging a drawing that relates closely to the rest of my work - this is the one.

ARTATHON - DAY THIRTEEN

Morning all. A few new drawings from over the weekend. As some of you might know Anna and I have been having a bit of work done in our flat. In some ways this new drawing, "Kitchen Table" represents the first moment of calm in that room.

ARTATHON - DAY TWELVE

Further down from where Samuel Pepys stood a small eddy is formed at high tide on the Thames. Here three boulders stick up their heads above the waters. "Three rocks on the Thames"

ARTATHON - DAY ELEVEN

"Where Samuel Pepys Stood". This is one of my favourite spots on the south bank where I have sketched several times before. On this spot, illegibly, Samuel Pepys stood and looked out to see the Great Fire of London. All that remains of this momentous occasion are a few wooden foundations left to rot by the waters of the Thames.

ARTATHON - DAY TEN

Day ten and back on track with the Artathon. Here now looking out our living room window to the train station opposite just before commuter time in the morning. "Wimbledon Chase Station"

ARTATHON - DAY NINE

OK OK so less time to draw today but there is something quite pleasing about ths simple little drawing I think. "Fallen Tree Stump in the Park."

ARTATHON - DAY EIGHT

Now we come back to an image I'm using in my current painting. A few might recognise this as the back of the boat house at Teen Ranch in Dundee. It has the look of a home - built art installation but is completely functionable in it's setting. I find it an absolutely fascinating structure.

ARTATHON - DAY SEVEN

Coming home from a meeting in Leicester with team mates Natasha and Brian. Natasha was a bit nervous about me drawing her (which is quite understandable) but her diary wasn't so shy. So this drawing titled, "Tasha's Diary On Train".

ARTATHON - DAY SIX

Girders below Southwark Cathedral. They've been working on this site for some months now around the Borough Market. It's an interesting juxtaposition between old historic London and the new developments of modern living.

ARTATHON - DAY FIVE

On the tube heading home after a day with students we noticed one seat with an odd covering to the rest. You don't want to think too much about why they had to re-cover the seat but it made for a brilliant subject matter. So this one is titled 'Tube Train, Odd Seat Out."

ARTATHON - DAY FOUR

I love this one. This cow sits on top of a bar down the road from my studio with the words 'LOVE ME' stenciled over his side. Very random. I think I might return to this one for another drawing another day.

ARTATHON - DAY THREE

Sorry for the technical hitch. Here we are now back on track for 26 drawings over 26 days at 26 quid per drawing. There are now 18 consecutive days ahead and hope you can tune in for them. Three of the drawings already have pledges on them (days 1, 4 and 7). Please do get in touch if you'd like to reserve a drawing to buy at the end of the project. Cheers. Al

ARTASTALL

Erm. So the idea was to post these drawings every day but my camera bust! Sorry for the delay. The drawinsg are coming along very nicely. Honest! I guess there'll be a mega post after my camera is fixed and you'll see a bunch of drawings together. Stay tuned (anyone got a decent camera I can borrow?!)

ARTATHON - DAY TWO

Day two of the Artathon. This time a quick drawing keeping with the door theme.
