Project LV One – Day 178 – Tubular Bells?

Posted on October 19, 2014 by Guthlac

This morning I suddenly had this urge to create a drawing of some description and this was the result.  It felt like a dam had been released. As contrast to the rather portly fellow above I made this drawing yesterday … Continue reading →

Project LV One – Day 177 – Should I move to Yosemite Sam?

Posted on October 18, 2014 by Guthlac

It is over two years since I moved to the iMac and I still can’t get my head around their OS naming system – I much prefer the v10.9 et al than these pointless names.  It gets even worse when … Continue reading →

Posted on October 17, 2014 by Guthlac

Sometimes I really do dispair

Posted on October 16, 2014 by Guthlac

Posted on October 14, 2014 by Guthlac

I find sitting down and making images from what I might see on whatever screen I might be watching at the time very relaxing.  There are no doubt many purests that might think that this is not real art or … Continue reading →

Project LV One – 172 – Still Life

Posted on October 13, 2014 by Guthlac
