Tonight for the first time in two years, I managed to get my scanner up and running. I definitely need a new one, not only did it take a lot of fiddling and a new driver download, but it is so slow.
R e a l l y s l o w.
I have been planning to scan some of my old artwork - not much of which remains in my possession - because it is beginning to deteriorate markedly, and I reckoned digital copies are better than no copies. Unfortunately, most of the originals are bigger than my scanner, so they are necessarily cropped.
Anyway, here's a Katie Bush I did back in December 1981 at the tender age of 22. It's based on the picture on the back of the Lionheart album, as I recall, but I closed her mouth since I'm rubbish at teeth...
A couple of other pics are here: ( below the cut. )
It's a long time since I picked up a pencil or brush in anger. I must do something else soon.
Additional: I hadn't noticed in all these years, but seeing the three pictures together like that, it seems I have a soft spot for women with pouty lower lips. Hurrah me.
