My friend and AWGrad colleague has got me back here again. I have been THINKING too much of what to write here and then shutting down because of the quality and/or time necessary... keeping up a blog regularly is not as easy as one would think...
He is, as I have posted in previous messages, always an inspiration. His latest blog post made me say a "HA! wait til you see what I have done in your Draw Your Life booklet, Michael!!!!" Always good for getting an artist moving... for better or worse.
He says he has gone analog, somewhat. You can see Michael Nobbs posts here, but I want you to finish with me first! I have been following his analogue series the last days but have had thoughts like, "Oh gawd, am I THAT old? I still listen to tapes regularly, and he talks like they are the way of Seven Track tapes, oh dear!" Then, after today's post I needed to say, "Hey! I use an even older analog whisker at least once a month for my scrambled eggs." And now show off the page, in his booklet where I had even drawn the thing the other day.
I won't draw the tapes I listen too, but here is an older drawing of my last typewriter. I know, I know, rather mystic looking, huh? But I did have a fondness for it and at the time was doing an piece comparing old composition to the "new" composition machine called a computer, so the internet still had a mystic part to it.... I had drawn it by hand and this was one of the first Photoshop play times I had had.
I love my "analogue" whisk Sandi, and use it often to beat eggs or when I want a comforting treat and a taste of childhood I buy a packet of Angel Delight (is that just a British thing I wonder?). It's too much like hard work for whisking cake batter though, I make use of my mother's old Kenwood mixer, not quite as old as the hand-whisk, but still a good 30 years old :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful to see your drawing in Start to Draw Your Life. Thank you!
