Today has been crazy, crazy – I have some kind of a virus that’s aggravating my asthma (I’m getting tested tomorrow for Covid-19) so I’ve spent half the day in telephone consultations with various doctors & nurses plus trying to do my regular remote working. So it feels miraculous that I’ve produced any kind of a portrait for day 7 of Inktober but here it is. This is David from Sktchy drawn with a single blue Bic ballpoint pen.
I love drawing things. These days I am rarely found without a pen, pencil or stylus in my hands. In my working life I spend a lot of time in meetings and classrooms, reading papers and strategies, so my home life provides a creative antidote to all that! I also have chronic pain, lots of it. I have scoliosis, fibromyalgia and CRPS, so my life is a balancing act, trying to balance work, which make me feel part of the real world, with pain, which is ever present, and art, which soothes my pain.
