No, start again.
I'm having a struggle with the source material for my clam shells.
No, still wrong.
I'm totally skint and my flipping printer has run out of ink and I can't print off any decent pics of clams shall from which to work to find the right image for my altered book.
Bugger.
Bloody.
Bugger.
Arse.
Enough whinging.
I'm actually making some good progress with what I have, but I have this stupid idea that I could do better if I had more of them, and if they were full colour, and I could work at my desk instead of in front of the computer monitor. You see my problem, I'm making excuses for not actually getting the work done.
Less of the excuses. Wanna see what I've done so far on my sketches and drawings of clam shells? Not going to do hundreds of them, but I'm looking to do a couple of larger pieces to add to the general portfolio of work for THE Book.
The raven is not proving to be as difficult, and I got a lot of books from the library with some very good photos and illustrations. I even managed to do really rather interesting prints using foam board as a printing plate. Not very sturdy, so it's rather falling to bits now. One last print run from it I think before it goes to the great press in the sky, (well OK the bin).So here we are, some finished and nearly finished drawings and prints. Be kind, I'm delicate.

Lovely drawings. What is it about clams?
The things about clam shells are for my altered book, new pages for which will be appearing soon. I have a raven and almost have the clam, just need to refer to some life drawings for the arms and legs sticking out of them.
Are you intrigued. Good, I like to keep you guessing.
