Images of skeleton drawings
I've posted some new images of skeleton drawings to my Web site.
The procession of skeletons is coming along well, I cant decide whether to add text or not. I think I probably should.
The skeletons act out some self-defence moves.

Skeleton drawings #2
I've drawn and added arms to the skeleton, this allows me to articulate the limbs and head.This is a life-size skeleton; I'm looking to see how I can bring it to life by putting it in situations and animating it in various ways.

Skeleton
I've refocused on the skeleton I used for the 'Dead head haunts' exhibition at Guerrilla zoo.I've been cutting out the bones that make the skeleton and I expect to animate it in some way.
The skeleton is life-size and drawn on paper, which has been stuck to cardboard and cut-out to give it a slightly three-dimensional effect. I want to involve other objects, like the roses, I want to experiment within the make believe world the objects will create and in so doing also give the object some life.

Skeleton articulation
Skeleton
I've been working on articulating a large skeleton drawing, this entails drawing individual parts of the skeleton and hinging the joints together in some way.
Since drawing on a daily basis I have increased my speed and am getting the results I want on a more regular basis. I'll post more images and info' later.
when I was about 7 years old I created an articulated cardboard figure of a local policeman from where I lived in Chiswick, west London. I won a small prize from the local council and it was that object that I remembered the other day which is leading me down the path of creating a posable drawing.
I bought this plastic human skeleton from ebay. It stands 5 feet 8 inches high (175 cm).
The skeleton was made in China, I presume it was moulded from the skeleton of a Chinese man, you can see it is a male skeleton due to the narrowness of the gap in
the pelvic bones.
Colour
I've introduced colour to some of my drawings. Actually, its not the first time, I just hadn't posted info' relating to colour work before. I use a simple light watercolour wash. So the work remains a drawing rather than a painting. At this time I don't want to go off into the world of painting, I feel that would require a commitment that I am not willing to give to that discipline, at least not at this time. I want to feel free enough to go off on a 3-dimensional path or installation path at a moments notice and I am nervous that painting would anchor me to the 2-dimensional.
At this time I don't know how colour will fit into my work, I am hoping I can use it to develop another dimension to the recent work I have been creating.
Exhibition
I'm waiting for information on the space I am organising for a group show later this year. I'll post more information as I receive it.
