I hope the new look blog is behaving itself ... please let me know if its not! I think you can now subscribe to get email reminders again - I seemed to have lost that button before and hopefully it doesn't jump about as you read it! I've been colouring in. This beetle is from a photograph I took in the Natural history Museum. I used the photograph, cropped it, enlarged it and then using Photoshop I digitized it until it was just the bare 'bones' leaving me a lovely image to play with. . Its been a quieter week at college - I have been consolidating my work and reflecting on what I have got and where to go next. I have complied a large file of resource inspiration, some of it primary photographs, collated artists that inspire me and some market research about my potential target audience. this file is a work in progress as I add to it all the time as inspiration hits me but a lot of it is made up of photographs from my travels and gallery visits...
