1000 Nights of Drawing 09

Last week Thusday was one of the last drawing sessions for submissions, I took with me some old washes I'd done years before intent one recycling them into more fun and interesting images, basically trying to make a story from one picture...

Stupidly, I forgot to take pictures of them for the blog, luckily Ed had, so 'thanks Ed, you rock, dude!'

The event itself was great, a very good turn out, many people, lots of familliar faces and a good vibe all round. I was able to track down most of my stuff, and this year we actually bought some awesome pics of our own :)

One of them though, didn't have an e-mail address... who drew this? Will the real Karl Curson please stand up, I wanna say, thanks!

And finally, the 'Doodle-Off'. Being one of those people that doesn't deal with crowds particularly well, I'd planned to be somewhat 'lubricated' enough that I wouldn't mind so much...

however...

This plan was dependant on the Doodle-Off starting at six (the whole thing was kept VERY hush-hush) so by the time we did start, at 10, I was about 2 hours past my expiry date... o_O

High noon recycled

Alright, here's a little experiment I've just finished...

Over the years I've gathered many scraps, usually inkwashes that I produce for backrounds or texture effects. This idea wormed itself into my head that I should recycle these pretty but vague drawings by adding a detail that would complete it in a way it was never intended to.

I plan on giving some of these away for the 'Night of a 1000 Drawngs' exhibition on 5th Nov, see you there... if you're in Cape Town that is ;)
