[WEDNESDAY 04 APRIL 2012]
It all started so well: sketching out a new neon design on a new canvas and then a break to do some email/internet errands. I moved some canvases back out to the studio and finished off a lo-fi scrawling I made yesterday with a touch of watercolour.
[not sure where it came from, but at some point I was possibly thinking of
Numan, hence "Gary". Adding the shock of bleached-blonde hair seemed like the obvious final step. There will be more lo-fi subconscious/conscious drawings in the near future]
And now? Now I am hungry for my lunch and I must eat before I get on with the afternoon shift. But I've been stuck at this computer screen for the past hour or so, doing this and that and the other. ENOUGH!
I ate some soup.
It was not Campbell's Condensed though.
Afternoon: My first proper bit of painting consisted of touching up the "rock-face" where the blue glow is leaking out of the dark chasm. I didn't do much, and I will continue next time.
Instead of returning to all those old, half-finished canvases, I stuck the fresh new one on the easel and commenced painting in around the words which will be depicted as deep-red neon. As you can see I am possibly thinking about jacking all this painting in and opening a carpet shop.
