Working away

On Sunday I managed the trip to Bishops Quarter again, this time with an audio recorder lashed to the strap of my shoulder bag. The aim was to record my breathing as I climbed the hills and sailed down the dips in the road, and so map the topography of the journey for my mixed media project. I had moderate success, but the wind interfered with clean recording most of the way. I renewed the recorder for another week and plan to make the trip at least once more until I have the material I need. It is an exhausting way to spend the afternoon, but one must struggle for one's art.
The week has gone well thus far, all my ideas have begun to take their final, definite shape. See a few more sketches and studies, below.

If this reads as blood, it was unintentional... but open to interpretation!

Mr. Potato Head sketch.

Hands study, a bit less white pencil and a bit more shadow. Still needs work.

Feet study.

Slowly covering the walls!
