Sketchpads & being bi polar

Some of my own images to look at following an intense scanning session, 

The pads are not for sale, they're more of a description of how I was feeling at a manic time in life.

I saw a thing on channel 4 the other day and while watching it thought, that's me! I have all those problems and feel that way almost all the time.

I have soaring highs and crashing lows but try to balance it out with medication.

I was very proud of myself at one point for feeling that I didn't need the medication but that was delusional. I'll attach a link about the program to keep my readers informed. 

Enjoy

Subject: Whose spider is that?

Dear Jane,
Are you sure this drawing of a spider is the one I sent you? This spider only has seven legs and I do not feel I would have made such an elementary mistake when I drew it.
Regards, David.

Subject: Re: Whose spider is that?

Dear David,
Yes it is the same drawing. I copied and pasted it from the email you sent me on the 8th. David your account is still overdue by the amount of $233.95.
Please make this payment as soon as possible.

Hello, I am back and have read through your emails and accept that despite missing a leg, that drawing of a spider may indeed be the one I sent you. I realise with hindsight that it is possible you rejected the drawing of a spider due to this obvious limb ommission but did not point it out in an effort to avoid hurting my feelings. As such, I am sending you a revised drawing with the correct number of legs as full payment for any amount outstanding. I trust this will bring the matter to a conclusion.
Regards, David.

I understand and will definitely make a payment this week if I remember. As you have not accepted my second drawing as payment, please return the drawing to me as soon as possible. It was silly of me to assume I could provide you with something of completely no value whatsoever, waste your time and then attach such a large amount to it.
Regards, David.

New images. pad 2015

Added loads of images earlier but the blog seems to be struggling to show them. boo,

It looked like they hadn't uploaded from a previous post, hope they show up now:

Looks a little like I got sponsorship from converse all star shoes and kitkat wrappers.

The pad isn't available to buy but you can request prints of single pages to do with as you wish.

Scans 2014

I don't know how many times I've scanned loads of work and it's disappeared without trace. Sometimes you just have to give it a go. I'll be at Banks Mill at 5 until 8 tonight if you have any quuestions about the work or maybe would like to arrange a commission :)

without further a do, here it goes:

Jenny and Hollys instagam link stamps etc

Jenny and Holly make beautiful handmade stamps for any purpose you need.

My own nephews are kitted out with thiers, I just have to persist in dragging them away from their ipads! They wull talk to me even if I do force them into it :)
