Use Your Loaf

This blog was originally intended to showcase the very large, very detailed work I produce for my limited edition prints. However, across the first few posts I've repeatedly found myself drawn to sketches like the one below.

Seeing the work together like this, I'm beginning to realise how important the energy and ideas that come from these initial scribbles are. Perhaps that comes from letting go and allowing the brain to connect straight to the fingers.

It's easy to lose touch when you're being very conscious in what you do. Thinking and working hard to produce the best work you can is an admirable trait, but sometimes your skills are at their best when your brain is left to its own devices.
