Here is a picture of Me and my little babies. Humphrey and Sebe have been submitted to years of torture- just look how tight my grip on Sebe's collar is- and what on earth is that orange plastic thing???! It looks like I am about to gouge out one of his eyes, luckily he is wearing those stylish safety goggles.
This is the most genius thing I have ever done and will ever do. I remember so well drawing these portraits of my parents in their bed in winter. I would have been pretty young, judging by both of my parent's hairstyles, maybe eight? The weird thing is, that I drew each portrait on one side of the paper- now they will never get lost.
This speaks for itself;
Who told me to put a crucifix up there? It's really creepy how it sort of sways... it looks like it's going to crush that lion!
MY SPESHAL THINGS
or
MY HOBBY
I love this- actually I remember all of these things so well, especially the lizard, which was stuffed and flaky and I always used to close my eyes and squint them open to see if it was really alive and just pretending to be dead- you know how that happens sometimes?
I LOVE "please read this mum and dad!!!"
this is jusy so special and the colour of the pen is so vibrant - children are such a joy. xf
ReplyDeleteHaha I love "speshal things"!! Your portraits are actually better than anything I could draw at 20 years old, which shows my lack of skills!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your blog! Thanks for visiting mine... I'm sure you were a great big sister! I didn't go back to older posts, but do you still draw?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting my blog and leaving such a sweet comment.
ReplyDeleteYour drawing skills are incredible compared to mine, even when I am drawing a new pattern it looks like an alien from space.
Have a lovely day!
These drawings are genius ... I was just cleaning up my parents' house on the weekend (they're moving) and I found my old stash of Picture Plates. So good - I covered everything from family portraiture (a standard) to dinosaurs, Transformers, Voltron, Thomas the Tank Engine and beyond. Kids' drawings are the best.
ReplyDeleteI think the blog Ben was talking about is Music Haters (www.musichaters.com) - it's just starting out, but it'll be good when we get some posts up there. Hooray for excessive blogging!
ReplyDeleteWriting is fun. I'm actually a designer (like Pat ... and Rick and Ben, for that matter) but to be honest, I like writing this stuff way more than what I do for work at the moment. Imagine getting paid to bag out shit CDS and rant about good ones! That would be insane ... I can dream.
I've got another blog too (as I said excessive blogging - way too much spare time at work) called Stink Opals. I'm going to scan in some old drawings and stuff and post them there tonight ... Yes yes I am.
