SIR ALEC GUINESS

A pen and ink portrait of Sir Alec Guiness as he appeared in The Ladykillers.

A THIRD INKY LANDSCAPE

If I was brighter I'd come up with names for these landscapes but I'm ever so dull and can't come up with anything. Still, they're quite quick to do and are quite interesting for their small size. They also provide a welcome change from illustrating children's books- not that I'm complaining about my job, I love it- it's just a little change from time to time is very refreshing.

1 of 20 LITTLE LANDSCAPES

This is the first of a little ink landscape that will be sold for 50p/£1 at my daughter's school's Christmas fair. I've been volunteered to draw 100 pictures for the first week of December so part of what I'll do will be these landscape types and the remainder will be along the lines of my children's drawings. The money raised will go to charity so I can't even complain about the workload.

QUICK INKY LANDSCAPE

Whilst messing around with ink late last night I happened to make this atmospheric drawing almost completely by accident. It's only a very small drawing (no more than four inches across) which I've decided looks too much like a landscape for me not to call it a landscape. It's ambiguous as to what it actually depicts but I think there are trees and water in there along with a silhouetted figure in the foreground.

I hope this demonstrates how effective just spending a couple of minutes pushing ink around on a piece of scrap paper can be.
