 I had never heard of Kenneth Patchen until today, which is remarkable considering my interest in text/poetry combined with images. I came across this remarkable poet/artist at Austin Kleon ...
 I finished Falling from Trees (that sounds a bit strange!) on Monday. Having completed documentation and scans, today is its big day - off to be framed at Wildgrass Studio.
 Two details from a drawing currently on the go. I think it is nearly finished, and it is going to be titled Falling from Trees. It measures 88 x 62cm and as usual is ink on paper.
 The garden. Monster or metaphor?
Monster! While I was working away busily, my garden of Eden has gone and been replaced with mutant green stuff of which species I haven't a clue.  I don't know if progress shots are interesting to anyone else except me ... but here's an update anyway on that one below showing what became of the newspaper - now there's a little bit of experimental text stuck down in the right hand corner.
I'll go away and stop boring everyone now.  Not exactly a winter of discontent, but a summer without content ... on June 15, we lost our broadband connection, and for periods also our phone. Huge mobile phone bills and no internet.

The Weekly
Welcome to my blog! I am an artist in Fife, Scotland, represented by the Open Eye Gallery, Edinburgh.
I do illustrative work under the name of Binky McKee. Click the picture above for a link to fairy tales, magic, and cats doing silly things - plus a little about why I chose the name Binky!
PIC OF THE WEEK
Edinburgh College of Art's very own Athena Nike - with empty wine glasses at her feet! (not all mine).
I attended a function in the Sculpture Court this week, it was great to be able to wander about at leisure and revisit a few of my favourite things. I haven't been in the Sculpture Court for a few years, last time I was only passing through delivering work. I drew this one so many times as a young student (the wings and clinging drapery got me back then). It was lovely to be able to stand right next to her and appreciate her body and wondrous sturdy legs!
