I am at a point in my creative writing journey where I have to make some decisions about projects, strategies, tactics and tools.
There is a vision behind all of this that requires distinct steps and processes, most of which will not have results for potentially years, if at all.
It requires an openness to experimentation, new directions, new techniques and new ideas. For a while now I have produced continuous line drawings and have seen my growth in that technique. So too in pointillism. Inspired by @peter_rush_drawings I am experimenting with urban landscapes. The first here was drawn using my lightbox, first in pencil, then with pen. The second was freestyling. In my mind I want it to look like Peter's work (you copy to learn) but I know his creative vision has taken years to develop.
So too will mine, creatively and artistically, in writing and in art, and in music.
Sometimes you follow the path someone else has made because it works for where you're at. Sometimes you have to follow the breadcrumbs left by others, and then sometimes it's stepping blindly into the abyss and stepping as far as the torch light allows.
The last two pictures are the same characters. The first one was the start of the streetscape, and the second is another version in my notebook.

Sketchy Sketch That Has No Right to be a Sketch
Elk Horn - Experiment
This is based on the elk horn from my mother-in-law's garden after she passed away. It's flourishing at our place.

A Commuter's Communion
What if we communed
With each other
On our commute
And shared connection
However brief and
And acknowledged
Our shared humanity

Old Couples
A life spoken
Not in a list of achievements
But in character and personality
And echoed in generations

Feet may fail
On the surface
of the waters
Yet let me walk
Amongst the waves
To test my doubt
Against my faith

Chances are
I'm falling
By the same chance
I'm getting up
Depends on how
You want
To look at it

At the end of last year I drew a colleague during an assembly. This year he put the drawing design into the laser burner machine thing and sent me a picture of it. I'll need to go via his desk to take a photo of me with it.
I really like how it turned out and to see the way the laser burns into the wood and leaves shadows

Sit With Me
Sit with me as you would sit with Job
Seven days and seven nights of silence
Torn hearts and ashen minds

From Left To Right
If we walk back towards the beginning, in the hope of restarting, we miss the chances to renew ourselves and rejoice in the rejuvenation

Back to School
Felt pens on A5 paper

The start, or return, to school will produce myriad responses, opinions, perspectives, arguments, seating plans, lunch box worries and breaking in new school shoes with a minimum of blisters.

As a teacher, I'm doing the best I can within a system that has faults and flaws.

We should focus on building the community and the characters that inhabit it through knowledge of the world, how to navigate information, and how to develop ourselves.

Orchids II
Felt pen on A4 art paper

Reference for this orchid came from my own backyard. And I don't know the type of orchid. I do know it's not cymbidium nor phalaenopsis. It is possibly a dendrobium. I'm still a terrible gardener.

Orchids
Felt pen on A4 art paper

Orchids are one of my favourite flowers, even though I am a terrible gardener.

How long you ask? 8 hours.
Meditative and quieting. Next piece will be smaller.

The Boys Sharing A Laugh
Pencil sketch on A5 art paper

When was the last time we really laughed so hard with our mates our sides hurt, our eyes watered from mirth?
When was the last time you asked your mate the question, "How are you really doing?" and received an honest answer? And did you listen?

I Look Sideways To Make Sure I Am Going In The Right Direction

Felt pens on A5 paper

Here at The Drum and Page, like everywhere in the western world, we are about to turn the calendar over and start something new.
Except for the circumstances we are still in the midst of, trying to fold origami in a cyclone.
It does help to look around, find your location (usually the toilet paper ailse of Woolies), pick up your grocery basket and put a packet of Tim Tams in.
Whatever was this year, and whatever will be next year, will be. Put the kettle on and have a biscuit.
