deconstructing a daydream...

 Here's a brand new drawing.

It was never really actually meant to be a drawing, if you know what I mean? No?

Well it started life as a series of little drawings...

They were just individual drawings of individual pens.

Some of may favourite pens to be precise.

That's all they were ever meant to be, but sometimes I cannot leave a page be.

I cannot rest until I've filled it full of stuff; words, doodles, daydreams...

 I originally drew the pens to decorate the pages of my latest little zine.

But then it grew and grew and grew.

Into one big daydream.

 You can buy the original drawing HERE.

Or if your budget does not stretch to an original (I know mine doesn't), then you get buy the zine HERE.

 

Cheers, my dears.

Happy daydreaming.

So, Tim here, Andrea's friend, stepping in as her technology has failed her yet again.

Obviously there must be a reason for the need to post something, anything, this thing.  The reason is that Andrea is about to release a, wait for it, brand NEW zine!  Hooray!, I hear you cry.  So here is a first glimpse of 'An Idle Daydream Based On Colour' a pen review (of sorts); as it is titled.

This Daydream is all about pens used in making some of Andrea's iconic images. So if you like pens, or like the work of Andrea, or both, or are just interested in the tools of an artist then read on.

The zine is A5 size, professionally printed on a lovely 170gsm silk paper, 12 pages and includes not only images from this very worldwide blog, not only a story about the pictures' creation but also a new illustrated pen on most of the pages, representing the pen used (sometimes) in that pictures', er, creation.

I have one of the 'Daydream's here and it is smoothly gorgeous. They will available worldwide from the Etsy shop SOON. Possibly by the time this is read by you, you lovely followers of the wonderful work of Miss J.

Thank you letting me bother you, and do check out the new zine, I think you will like it.

Bye.
