Merry christmas and a wonderful year ahead!. :-).

07.12.11. I made a contribution to Pictoplasma's Missing Link Research Project. The selected drawings from the project will be shown at the La gaite-lyrique in Paris from the 7 - 31 December 2011. The drawing above is my contribution to the show.
About the drawing.
Moved by the kindness of the Yeti in Herge's Tintin in Tibet, this Yeti was inspired to join the revered Yeti Benevolence Brigade whose sole aim is to ceaselessly roam the vast expense of land they inhabit in order to seek out and care for stranded humans.

03.12.11. Early this week for the first time, I got to use a Wacom Cintiq to create this drawing and I totally enjoyed the experience! As I used the Cintiq, I was immediately taken by the remarkable intuitiveness of the pen and how close it felt to drawing on paper, I also couldn't help but think of the range of possibilities that using the Cintiq offers for collaboration, performance art , education and publishing ( you can document a Cintiq drawing session make a video or a book out of it and share).
Drawing with analogue tools remains a major interest, an interest I am not giving up on anytime soon but, I recognize the amount of time I can let off and the rise in productivity levels I can achieve using a Cintiq so I intend getting one for myself as soon as possible and use it to possibly equal out the balance between the creation of analogue and digital drawings in my practice.
Thank you Sam and Dapo for making this experience happen for me.
