Bonus 2009 Weird Sketchbook PDF!

Hey peeps, 

I am away in Italy for a wedding at the moment, but I scheduled this post to go up while I'm away, as I figured you might be interested in perusing one of my OLD sketchbooks!

This sketchbook is from 2009-2010. The year I moved to England! It is strange to realise I have been here for almost 10 years...

A lot of those sketches have a personal story, and although the sketchbook might not look very full, it was a year where I felt more productive art wise, because I was creating my own work, after years of creating work for school. I was slowly rediscovering the type of art I liked to do, and I think you can start seeing some elements of what I create now. 

I hope you will enjoy this little look into my past, 

Have a wonderful week end, 

Love
M

this is so inspiring and motivational for me. Your improvement is clear as day, from back then to now how much you’ve developed and grown fills me with hope. Lately i’ve been feeling so stagnant in my skills as an artist i feel like i do many types of art/mediums but i’m not really ‘good’ at one. (good isn’t the right word, i just feel like i’m not at the level i want to be at). But seeing this sketchbook shows how much hard work you’ve put in and how much practice you’ve done to be at the stage you are now in just about 10 years. i guess i feel stuck because i want to see progress now from day to day. But this reminds me things take time and it motivates now to keep practicing, it really has melted away some of this artblock, so really thank you .

Thank Laura, I'm glad you like them! I don't really tend to paint characters that represent my fears, my process isn't as "conscious" as that, I don't apply a meaning to each character. I genuinely just go with the flow, and in the flow there always seems to some creatures. What exactly hey represent in me, I don't know. I've always, always, always drawn creatures. And I have never created creatures that I felt were purely one feeling, like horror, fear, or some such. They always feel nuanced to me, like full people of their own, with emotions and faceted personalities. Am I making sense?
