A Life Behind Glass



Was flicking through an old notebook/sketchbook yesterday. This one's 14 years old, 2000. All my notebooks used to be titled- A Life Behind Glass (that's how i view the world, from behind my two little panes). This one also has the sub-title- Portrait Of An Unfinished Man, which i really like and fits perfectly the nature of a notebook, that's exactly what it is.

Anyway, i thought I'd share a few simple drawings from them. I used to have a lot of ideas back in the day! I tell you if my kids take an artistic route and are ever struggling for an idea or a project they will find lifetimes worth sitting in these little books. Ideas i skipped over, i could easily have developed over months. Too many of them never got their full worth pulled out of them.... and I'm still doing the same today!.... I need a team!

  1. Awesome! Drawings Scottie. Yeh! U sure did like your notebooks back then matey!
    U could always turn them into print someday eh? Self publish and sell em on your website yeh! I'm not as organized as u Scott and never will be? I've got boxes full of old drawings just sat there looking shoddier by the year. I gotta take care of em more. Like u say, u never know when oneday a simple drawing could spark off an entire book or whatever eh! I so miss our pub doodle drawings we used to do in the irish pub Waxy's with a pint of Kilkenny. Special days to remember a time soooo long ago eh!
