#114 Ink and Inspiration

New drawings from my latest sketchbook and inspiring quotes from great artists to spark your creativity.

I’ve sent out two issues of my new pop-up newsletter so far, as I write and draw a short story collection from scratch. Hop on for the ride!

Meanwhile, I’ve just completed another sketchbook — number 11 for those of you keeping count. I put aside my beloved polychromos pencils and tried using only ink.

This week’s letter features a few of the drawings I’m most proud of, interlaced with some of my favourite quotes about being creative, inspired and productive.

I hope you’ll find something that speaks to you.

Thank you for sharing these beautiful sketches. I love the spaciousness - where you put what you put markings, and your foreshortening. That stairwell, the girl, the crossing, hoodie man, I mean, such wonderful light and shadow work there. I reckon the lived experience of the artist and that of the viewer is the communicative divide.
