Zine-scribbling

7/10/2015

Scribbling on magazines is such a great way to relax and get a flow back into work, especially on those days when motivation takes the day off.

One from August 2012, a newspaper colour supplement double spread. I single out and work chance images, in this case using coloured biros. It is a lovely, free exercise. Unusually for me, I let colour have free reign, always on the lookout for a little patch of jewel colour. Serendipity rules! I call them my 'zinescribs', short for magazine scribbles.

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!)
