Art from the distant past
Jan. 13th, 2009 05:23 pmAges ago I said I'd scan a few things I painted and drew about ten, fifteen years ago. Well, thanks to my extended stay at my parents', I've finally gotten around to that (they have a scanner). So, without much further ado:
A small example of the kind of thing I used to paint, when I still did miniature watercolour painting
I wish I could scan the larger paintings, but my parents' scanner is too small. This and the previous one are about the size of a postcard each.
Most of my painting was done between 1993 and 1997. After that, I started training as a goldsmith, and then very soon discovered writing, so my creative urges have since been channeled into these two pursuits. If I had a *lot* more spare time, I might pick up painting again.
And now for something completely different: The Art of Boredom:
How bored was I at school? Very. This is a typical result...
Another page from a school ringbinder. See the glorious origins of the name 'Hmpf' - i.e. it's something I used to scribble all over the place when I was bored.
