88 - Family Moment
Having been at work all day in an office (albeit the office of Scrace and the team), I'm tired and I feel more like napping than blogging.
So I snapped a couple of pages from an A3 sketchbook to fulfil my daily post pledge. They must be about 15 years old and one of them is a forgotten drawing of my brother with his son at my parents house. On the left, my grandmother Nell in the Karuselli chair. It is a mid Century modern classic chair by Finnish designer Yrjö Kukkapuro - a spinning fixture in M&D's home for almost as long as I can remember. It's not that comfortable, but fun to spin around in and lovely to look at.
I have no idea what all those Peanuts inspired, helmet wearing children were all about, but I like the nostril on this one.
These are obviously nothing to do with family but they were a couple of pages along in the sketchbook and I like them.

Thank you parents ☺️ I must have drawn those family ones and shut the sketchbook and not opened it for 15 years. I will do prints for you x
Hi
I have just seen these cartoons for the first time.
Really good – great ideas and likenesses and I particularly like the lovers. Have you considered doing some large prints for sale of that one? xx
I felt VERY nostalgic looking at these cartoon like drawings. You have captured Granny, Grant and Carter so well!!!
You have a really highly developed sense for drawing cartoons! ESSENCE is everything in drawing I feel!
