John Ward Illustrator.
Apr 28th
Now I have officially finished my hundred days.
i thought i would open this out to a few of my obsessions.
1960′s illustrators for one.
The balance of linework and two colour printing…
John Ward is one of the masters of line.

Day 101!
Apr 24th
Well can’t think of what to put down as the title for the rest of this ..ah well.
will have to stay as is for a spell.
back in the work cave dogs curled up behind me.
occasionally have to look up and glance at the lovely dummy that they have given me…it keeps me going.
(at least now I don’t have to stress about my daily blog )
It may be fun to see what it morfs into.
DAY 100
Apr 21st
Well a hundred days of drawing.
Done.
Although I will admit to a bit of a shilly shally approach come the last few weeks.
It has been a fabulous experience that has really helped me learn so much.. from how on earth to blog lots of teccky stuff that I am still a bit wobbly on (stabilizers still well and truly on) and to a small part understand and except how I draw and what I draw.
It is lovely to feel part of a community of such fascinating and talented people there are blogging. ok gush alert!!
….mind you they are so fascinating that I do need another layer of self-discipline not to spend all day on the internet.
The last image was a difficult one I was wondering about spending a load of time doing a flashy image but realised of course I would suffer tremendous performance anxiety and never do anything so the best thing to do would be just treat it like any other day and just post up what I would normally do.
an image that sort of sums up the time spent.
After the crazy land of the london book fair, me and sam escaped to eat his mums legendary date cake and pootle about the V&A only one tube stop away from earls court (bonus)
then back for the last (in my case booze fuled) pinball around the networking event. (one of the reasons to go to the book fair but also one of the reasons to run far far away!) as soon as people line glasses of wine on a white tablecloth and arrange olives and crisps on little plates my palms sweat!
well thanks again for dropping by the blog and maybe drop by again in a few days when I will have decided what to rename it . ..maybe another 100 days..? suffice to say I aint done.
cheers Lauren
