Holly With Portrait Group

This is yet another of my quick sketches of the Portrait group sketching.


 

Another Page From My Travel Journal Zine - My Grandfather I Never Met

 I used watercolour on this one. I'm quite pleased with the result. My Zine festival zine is quite a mix with m passing through the tiny 'town' of Powelltown being part of my trip. It was a homage to my father's family. My paternal grandfather was a tough cookie. Once he was chopping firewood and cut his leg with the axe. He just kept cutting wood and when he entered the house his wife removed his gumboot, which was full of blood.

My newest Zine - The Journey, Zine Daze, Healesville

 My latest zine is a bit of a departure as it is a kind of stream of consciousness about a trip I toll to a zine day.

 Here are the first three pages. Yes, it is a true story although the 'Muse' did not wear an ancient Greek helmet...




I am selling the zine so if you want to know what else happened you will have to buy one from me!

The Romanovs

 I have been intrigued by some old photos of the Tsar and family prior to and during WW1 and the Russian Civil War and Revolution. I have been rendering some of these into gel pen and coloured pencil.
