'The New Normal' (27 April 2020)
PROCESS NOTES
Inspiration for idea:
This comic strip was inspired by my friend Kate making fun of my developing 'badger stripe' under lockdown, which she has named 'Badgery'.
Process:
I spent a good while on the detailing of the hair following Eszter Szép's theory that the viewer mirrors the timing invested. I think Hockney has a similar contention somewhere...(?) It would be useful for the viewer to spent time on the hair as this key here for the 'funny' (or maybe not!). I think it would have funnier if the eyes were crossed in the final panel (although possibly not to the boss-eyed)...

The Moon is a house... (22 March 2020)
PROCESS NOTES
Inspiration for idea:
I was sitting in zazen (sitting meditation) for 5 minutes and started to think of a poem by Ikkyu Sojun. The poem turned into this little reflective drawing.
‘The Moon is a house
In which the mind is master
Look very closely
Only impermanence lasts
This floating world too, will pass’I love this poem and sometimes even understand it.
Process:
I drew this for a 5-minute drawing challenge that we were working on in Julia Elmore's online 'Creative Community' during lockdown.
