Comets keep making an appearance in my work. I thought it would be fun to see how my treatment of them has changed over the years.  I cracked open a brand new Moleskine notebook this week, and I realise yet another good reason to use them: they lie flat when open, making it easier to photograph pages for social media. I don’t know how long mine will open out flat because I glue papers, scraps, collages and experiments in my notebooks and they tend to become bulky in time. I have a lot of notebooks with empty pages in the back because I can’t fit anything else in without bursting the covers.  Now, this is an interesting journey I am taking. I had thought my drawing of sprouting chestnuts was going to be one of the easiest to take further, which is why I chose to work on it at the beginning of this project. It wasn’t as plain sailing as the last one, however, in which Chinese-style floral decorations from a bowl sit well within swirling cloud forms, and the two techniques hold a nice conversation. |

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!)

Candle-light shadows. I set up little 'night theatres' in my bedroom. As darkness falls, I light strategically placed candles and watch the plays begin. A perfect activity for the darkest days of winter.
