Sketchbook, sketchbook, sketch me something magical.

Recently I've been pressed by close acquaintances to create a blog. Personally I don't think my adventures are worth documenting, but I still made a bet to uphold a blog for 6 months time. When I get the time I'll spruce the header up with some doodle or graphic design mumbo jumbo.


But for the time being here are few sketches done in felt tip pen over the past few nights.

23 Magic/Marie Antoinette

Inspiration: "23" by Blonde Redheads. It is honestly the most beautiful song that I've ever heard in my entire life. The bit's in pink were created during my train commute to work yesterday. The very top bit says "23 Magic" which is a lyric from the song. It's very abstract, haha. The Marie Antoinette was only added out of boredom and a walk through the European History section of B&N.

We Are Beatiful, We Are Doomed.
Inspiration: "We are beautiful, we are doomed" by Los Campesinos! "We tell ourselves that there's future in the fucking but there is no fucking future." Probably the best line in the entire song. Honestly, I was just VERY bored and had a pen handy.

The TwistInspiration: Jury Duty at 8 in the fucking morning. Just to explain the construction of this drawing. It started out with just the man & shark done with the eraserless pencil that we were given. By the time I got home I just wanted to mess around and draw some random things. I picked up the old Nylon Street Style book and picked a random page. It happened to land on a page with some guy with a scarf wrapped arround his head. "Ehh, that's lame" I thought to myself. Feeling unsatisfied I flick to another random page which happened to have a woman with an odd facial structure. The end result kinda looks as if the guy with the scarf in the middle man in the relationship with the larger man and woman. The Twist title just happens to come from a good song by Metric, haha.

I am thinking that I'll redraw The Twist at a larger scale on my bedroom wall.
