Finding old pieces of artwork used to be one of my least favourite things to do as naturally, after time passes, the work you thought was okay now looks unfinished and flawed. Although old work is not so pleasing to look at, it reminds you of the incentive you had at the time. Despite being an “old” idea, sometimes it ends up being the refresh that’s needed. These weird looking illustrations were simply made to be space fillers due to having a short amount of time and blank pages to fill. During this time any idea I had in my head I had to create. I couldn't really afford to doubt them otherwise nothing would get done; ideas would become stationary and pages remain empty. I think that's what I needed a reminder to do more of.  These are some photos I found on my camera roll from my A-level sketchbook for what was my first attempt of digital art. It began with the bottom left painting (acrylic) of an X-ray of a chick foetus which was then scanned and digitally man

I remember reading somewhere that if you ever get stuck on writing something the best thing to do is to write the type of thing you’d like to read. Therefore  (just as a little pre-warning) , this is the approach I'm going for in this post. At the moment I keep seeing posts on Instagram where the picture is typography of excerpts from books and articles written by small name authors. Although these are pretty hit and miss, I actually really enjoy reading them anyway. Whether or not you take anything from them you get the opportunity to read someone's thoughts/creations. U nlike bigger authors, they don't have as much of a pressure to keep up to a certain standard, and what they write often comes off a lot more raw and free-spirited which I always find refreshing. So, if this was one of those " excerpts that I never wrote" type of posts, the question when writing it would be what would I say? And consequently, what would I like to read?  Consider this a dear
