Not long now before the new series of Being Human is shown. It has been 12 long months but the wait should soon be over. It has a tremendous ensemble cast with the wonderful Sinead Keenan playing the world weary Nina who had werewolfhood given to here by her boyfriend George. Oh the things we do for love!

I don’t know where this came from but I actually made an iPhoneography image! The Shake It Out ref is from the latest, and possibly best, Florence and the Machine CD.
One final thing – the iOS spellcheck still doesn’t recognise iPhoneography – very strange.

I try and I try but I just find making an image with Brushes a bit of fun. I look at some of the work that some people make with Brushes and I wonder how they are able to do that as I find myself just having fun when using brushes. I know you can do a lot more with the technology but I just don’t seem to be able to do this. Take this drawing of Sean Connery. I started out with all good intentions but very soon I lost interest in making a serious sketch and drifted off into the ‘fun’ territory. I suspect part of the problem is that I find the whole drawing experience when using Brushes so very sterile and cold – there is no organic feed back from screen that you get with paper.

I know this is a well publicised problem but I have noticed that the battery life of my iPad is getting worse. This could be due to the problems brought about by iOS 5, which Apple are supposed to have fixed (and we all believe everything that Apple says don’t we) but it might also be because my iPad is now getting old. It is, after all nearly 2 years old and in the fast moving world of consumer technology that is really geriatric. Whatever the reason the battery isn’t lasting as long as it did before.
Sent from my iPadWell it is Christmas and what should you do? Well I was looking through the free (?) Sunday Times this morning and found a video by Hockney talking about his iPad drawings and so I felt like making one myself. This is just a 10 minute bit of fun and is based on Duke Ellington although whether it is a reasonable likeness is irrelevant – it is a bit of fun nothing more which is what art should be even though those of us who try to create ‘art’ find the creative process, at times, as far from ‘fun’ as you can get. This is actually totally over the top statement but what the heck.
