Sketchbook 5: Claustrophobia

I drew this ages ago and forgot to put it up before Christmas.  But here it is anyway.  I may resurrect it again in 10 months anyway.

"What's In The Box?": A Valentine's Day Story

At our writing group, The Ink Tank, on Sunday, we did a writing exercise where we had a few minutes to write a short piece based on the question, "What's in the box?"  This was my effort, which was about a couple, so I can sort of pretend it's a special Valentine's Day Story:

What's In The Box?

"What's in the box?"

"Nothing," said Jerry.

"Oh," said Lucy.  "Okay.  Shall I put the kettle on?"

"Yeah," said Jerry.  "Go on then."  But inside he was wracked with guilt.  He'd lied.  And she'd believed him.  Maybe she knew.  Maybe she'd thought he'd lied because it was a present.  Oh God, should he go out and buy a present for her now?  He couldn't bear the thought of hurting her feelings.  It'd have to be the same size as the box.  Slightly smaller than the box.  But what if she'd believed him?  Oh God, that would be worse.  What if she trusted him so much, and then he bought her a present, out of the blue?  Wouldn't she get suspicious?  No.  Because she trusted him.  Maybe.

Best to buy her something.

To be on the safe side.

Sketchbook 5: Security Protected

I drew this after buying something in the supermarket with a yellow anti-theft "Security Protected" sticker on it.  I can't remember what it was, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't the sort of thing you'd expect to see one of those stickers on.

Sketchbook 5: Wake Me At ...

I drew these on the District Line when I saw a little girl who was in stitches because she just discovered that there was a place called Barking.  Cue lots of barking.  And then her mum joined in.

I had fun making this grumpy little fellow.  As usual, I hand drew it, scanned it, cleaned it up with Photoshop, then traced the vector outline using Inkscape before colouring in and adjusting some of the details.  Though the gap between drawing (about 3 weeks ago) and scanning (this morning) was a considerable one.  Busy busy busy.
