Bird Skullduggery

  

This is a page from one of my sketchbooks. I've just been scanning through them for inspiration (funny to think that I'm inspiring myself with my own work?).  Looking at past work helps bring me back to that First Point of inspiration; I can revisit anything I didn't have time to explore.  Sometimes the work is a bit bleurgh, but with this particular sketchbook I really enjoyed making my marks onto the paper with my biro pen.  Normally set aside in favour of using a "superior" ink fine-liner, I felt compelled to put it to the test.  After all; it saw me through many many years of elaborately graffiti-ing my notebooks and folders in the classroom and lecture halls.  I like these scratchy studies of bird skulls and bones.  They are super delicate subjects to study.
