Keep Calm and Carry On

I was looking at a photo of the inside of someone’s house and I saw this saying on a poster on the wall. I did a little reading and found that it was on a British propaganda poster made just before WWII. Right now it is the perfect piece of propaganda for me. I seem to be very depressed lately and when that happens my usual tendency is to just mope around and do nothing. But this time, I have been trying to keep working on my art and trying to be as productive as I can. This weekend I’ve done more artwork than I usually do:


Magnolia, staedler pigment liners in kraft paper sketchbook, 2008


Guest House View, Dhanbad; dip pen and watercolor wash on 5×7 Strathmore watercolor greeting card, 2008


Onion Sketch (EDM 179), graphite in kraft paper sketchbook, 2008

    I really love your sketches on that gorgeous coloured paper – looks really “aged”.

    Carry on with your sketching – it’s great!

    Cheers
