OK I lied.

Well, SOKO*.

Doodled this while playing with son boy as he monologued between two of his favourite toys: Wall-E and EVE.

BUT: also did this on shrink plastic:

Getting into the water colour on Shrink Plastic thing again. In my mind I’m mulling over an exhibition of iPod touch artwork and shrink plastic next to each other so playing on the small imagery type of thing. Mulling over at the mo’ hoping to get it sorted for the beginning of next year.

Apart from that: 80% back to normal, nearly there. Went to visit dad earlier and waddled around the town like a zombie at the end of it. Back at work next week though :( that’ll test it.

*Sort of kind of.

Because you (should have) demanded it (2).

I’ve now had my twitter sell out moment. Was youth working last night and it was an awesomely good session bar some caveats. Best bit was, after fifteen years of doing shrink plastic artwork, I found out that water soluble pencils work on shrink plastic. Revelation!

((The sell out moment was that, when I dashed upstairs to get some more stuff for the session I did a twitter post to say about it. Shocking.))

Anyhow: couple of pics here. More to come when I get time to play again. They are a pig to shoot – wanted to focus on them more than background but seemed to have gone the other way but hey… They made me smile although I’m also giving them both away to friends today.

**one additional caveat I should have mentioned: I only had two inktense water soluble pencils on me (my new pencil of choice following a long focus on the other Derwent pencils I always forget the name of… Colourtint? Anyhow because I wasn’t expecting to need them I only had two that I’d been doodling with earlier in my coat as well as the more standard Shrink Plastic standbys of the four colour lead ones and the normal WHSmits specials. Lesson learnt: next time charge enough materials budget to by Inktense pencils :) but that’s the reason why the colour on these two pix are a little samey :)
