Welcome



“It is in the order to really see, to see ever deeper, ever more intensely, hence to be fully aware and alive, that I draw what the Chinese call ‘The Ten Thousand Things’ around me. Drawing is the discipline by which I constantly rediscover the world.

I have learned that what I have not drawn, I have never really seen, and that when I start drawing an ordinary thing, I realize how extraordinary it is”.

(Frederick Franck, ‘The Zen of Seeing’).

147- The Umbrella


A copy of George Cruikshank's The Umbrella drawn digitally using Sketchbook Pro. I found a copy of the original online and thought it was just a really funny picture, in hindsight, I wish I had drawn it first in pencil and then inked and coloured it. Maybe next time.
