I pulled out some old still life I did. Like over 10 years agao. Those pieces were my foundation. Learning to build shapes and understanding form and texture, and finally colour. I realised I liked pure drawing but was never afraid to mix media, which was a lot of fun that craziness and messiness of it.

I think my old self can teach me now some tricks, because I think sometimes I may rely too much on the computer for artwork. I just made some tweaks to the coconut and felt like doing some more experiements like that.

I posted up a bunch of images that should have been part of my dailies. At the moment I am working on getting May done so I continue as I did before March when I halted due to work etc.

In the galleries are some old pieces and works that I “rediscovered”. The pieces remined me where I came from as a designer so I will spend some time here and there picking a few of the pieces and talking about them trying to show what was good about them then and for for me now as a progression.
