I hadn't realised until I logged on to create this entry that it is nearly a year since anything new found it's way onto this site.

So am I going to astound you with some impressive art, well no of course not just a couple of very quick pencil sketches while actually taking time out to just sit and do nothing in the garden.

I guess life has a way of getting in the way of the little things sometimes; between work, settling down again and putting two houses on the market for sale to find one new perfect home there hasn't been a lot of time for anything else. This on line sketch site has also taken a back seat to the audio site which itself also went through a very quiet period in terms of my doing any recording. Recently I have got back into the recording and this last week saw the site mentioned and a clip played on BBC radio in the UK which is quite gratifying and surprising.

Of course it won't be long before there will not be any more sketching by me in this garden as someone else will be living here if they offer the right money, and the same goes for my house as well which seems rather strange. But I am definitely looking forward to pooling the resources and getting somewhere that we want and where my studio (both recording and art) /study can find a new home instead of in boxes where it seems to be at the moment as I seem to be halfway between two homes.

About

Welcome to A Doodle A Day! Feel free to have a good look around and leave me a comment if you like what you see, or even if you don't!
A Doodle a Day is a place where I publish sketches created for fun and the love of drawing and more finished illustrations. I draw primarily with pen and ink, either dip pen or fountain pen. I do use other mediums such as watercolour, acrylics, pencil and soft pastels but my first love as a medium is pen and ink, especially dip pen.
I trained and worked for many years as a graphic designer, artist and studio manager within publishing as well taking on freelance projects. I draw for the sheer enjoyment of creating something from nothing but a white sheet of paper and a bottle of ink. I also work as an illustrator concentrating on Childrens illustration. I hope that you get as much enjoyment from seeing these sketches and illustrations as I do from creating them.
