Headset drawings
Drawing of a computer headset in black oil pastel.
Click above for a close to real size copy of this drawing.
I often like drawing what are thought of as mundane objects.
This USB computer headset was sitting on the living room floor and seemed like a good subject for drawings. I like to try push myself to draw whatever is to hand.
I tend to draw objects over and over again moving them so that I view them from multiple angles. The basic idea is to build up as complete an image of the objects as possible, much like how orthographic projection works in technical designs. I also try to make all of my drawings as close to life-size as possible.

Work for submission to the ‘Drink & dial’ exhibition.
A red skeleton on the telephone in "I love you" a piece of work submitted for inclusion in the "Drunk and Dial" exhibition at Wilson and William's gallery in London.
White skeleton.
I created a piece of work which I’ve submitted for potential inclusion in the “Drink and dial” exhibition at the Wilson William’s gallery. I should learn in February if they want to include it in the show.
The theme of the show is “Drink and dial” the phenomena whereby, when drunk, people make telephone calls they later regret.
Each drawing is a life-size study of a skeleton I keep in my flat, drawn in black oil pastel and painted with kids poster paint, then sealed with PVA.
Red & white skeleton.
I’ve been experimenting with mounting drawings on cardbaord, which I’ve done with this work and with pieces like “Deconstruction of a jab pad”.
