Am I obsessed with black and white?

Perhaps I am - I love the clean sharp lines that a reeeeaaaalllly good pen creates!


I like the fact that I have to make a mark and know, without a shadow of a doubt, that I CAN'T change it,

I can't erase it. I might be halfway through a commission piece, days of work and one mark in the wrong place and the whole piece fails ~ (ok maybe 'fails' is a bit dramatic - but I'm a Virgoan perfectionist and if its not right - its all wrong!)

Every now and then when a line takes off in a direction that I didn't anticipate, I have to fix it - and sometimes, that in itself creates something amazing...and no-one is more surprised than me :) YES!

That's how the black and white interior drawings all began.


I was drawing a staircase, put one line in the wrong place, and all of a sudden the staircase changed direction and appeared to sink - I was horrified and then fascinated at what had appeared! So I worked on that, deliberately attempting to put perspective lines in the "wrong" places - and its brilliant how it continues to surprise me!
