Archiving...

After Bill's comment, I'm making great efforts to get the orientation of the photos right.

Now, I think I made this bag in primary school. In it I kept IOUs from people to whom I had lent money. The one in the bottom right hand corner is an IOU from my Mum for 60p.

Surely parsley? I got the spelling horribly wrong.

Sweetcorn

Sweatcorn??

The page on the right is from a book of fonts that I found really useful. I'd copy out the letters, often tracing them.

I think this drawing was by my brother. He was always drawing cars.

Drawings of people in the sixth form common room I think.

Sixth Form

Drawing of a bridge in Oxford, probably done while I was in the sixth form. Oddly enough I was in Oxford yesterday sitting on a bench and I looked up and saw that very bridge.

Our dog Roger, immortalized.

Random architectural type drawing.

A sketch from Oxford again. My Mum's publisher was in Oxford, and we went down there occasionally. I remember drawing this when waiting for her to come out of a meeting.

Steps

A riverside building in Bradford On Avon that has now been turned into retirement flats. These architectural type drawings were done when I was trying to build up a portfolio to do architecture at Uni.

Flats

Charcoal drawing of a plant.

I think it was in primary school that we did a project on native Americans. I remember calling myself Green Feather. Here's a pouch I made. I also recall going to the American museum in Bath.

This picture was up somewhere in our house.
