I'm getting better at sketching whenever I can - mainly on the long train journey from work, to my little bush cottage on the outskirts of town. Sometimes I'm not sure what to draw. I could sketch one of the passengers around me. Or, I could sketch based on the IllustrationFriday.com theme of the week. That's often a good starting point. The hardest thing is to make a start!
DD gets impatient with my cynicism sometimes, and calls me a harbinger of doom. Perhaps I could make a series of 'harbinger of doom' Tshirts, with gloomy girls like the one I've sketched here. I'm also thinking of drawing a girl deep in meditation, praying for rain - something we desperately need.

I've given a lot more thought to the Tassie Tiger project. I have some alpaca and merino wool, ready to make felt puppets; I have cardboard boxes to start building a 3d environment; and I've given more thought to the storyline. I would love to assemble a team; someone to polish the script; someone to shoot the animation, someone to cast and direct the feature length version!!! Deaddogma has a clear vision of Cate Blanchett in the lead role as Alison Reid, daughter of the Hobart zoo curator. My puppet animation could become a 'story within the story'. So many ideas, so little time! I've added a sketch here; just to show who I really believe rules in my household!
