10 Things on My Shelves Which Have Appeared in My Drawings

18/10/2015

Here are 10 of those favourite things which I have lying about, in no particular order. They are all rich pickings for my drawings, so if you ever wondered where the ideas come from ...

1. My precious puffer fish with a dried sunflower stuck in his back

2. A piece of root run over by the Land Rover several times

3. A pine cone nibbled by red squirrels into an artichoke shape

4. Some dried up tulip flowers

5. Two (dead) mayflies from my extensive collection

6. The box of beasties. Moths and others found on the windowsills.

7. Compacted grass monsters from the soles of my hiking boots

8. More windowsill finds (I can't throw them away, they are beautiful)

9. The bits of daffodils where the flowers come out of the stems (dried). A proper botanical name exists for sure, but I haven't a clue what it is.

10. A dried daffodil.

I work a LOT in sketchbooks and always have several on the go. My dad was an architect and naval draughtsman, and after he died in 2017 I found heaps of old templates while clearing out his study. Always having been an avid collector of shapes, at the beginning of this year I bought a WHSmith A5 diary to use as a sketchbook specifically for work based on them.

As well as the work you see here, I illustrate under the name of Binky McKee (my mother's maiden name was McKee, Binky was every single one of my great grandmother's many cats!)
