Thoughts on sketching

In terms of sketching I'm thinking of working on a more stylised graphic technique. Sort of a rough round the edges Good news for Modern Man with more context.

First hand drawn map using a free hand font I'm working on

When I travel I often have time that's just waiting so I'm working on making hand drawn maps and adding in a free hand sketch and then writing the text. Besides not really being able to sketchtoo well, my normal writing looked too bad. So have developed this form using a font I copied off the internernet called 'Sensible Armadillo'. With regards to sketching I'm thinking of sketching off photo's rather than absolute free hand sketches but maybe thats cheating!

Groningen Sketch

Another attempt

Groningen-Station Car Park

This is just a fraction of the total bike parking available. Some have claimed Groningen is Europes cycling capital.

Thinking I will cut down various web subscriptions and reinvest in a gym subscription. Will keep it simple and just use Goldsmiths.

Sunny Manchester. Manchester is quite a 'happening' place at the moment. It has a buzz and a good vibe.

Sunday after the big ride.

Feeling good today, no undue problems. Alison doing a nice roast chicken for dinner tonight. I'm getting back into roast chicken as long as its not too often. Funny the relationship between food and memory. I still have problems with cabbage!
