On my return from the Biennale of Young Artists in Italy, I realised the importance of having other creative people around. I have been in my current studio since 2005 so thought it a good idea to have a change. I took on a second small studio space in Thingland, in The Old Knowes Factory in Nottingham. I had the space for 6 months and dedicated my time there to line drawing. I had a chance to concentrate and gathered an interesting collection of drawings, including, The Young Card Players, The Old Card Players, Maggie Fowler and Hilda Green and Joe and Belle and Tights from the Random Collection. You can see these pen line drawings in the Gallery section.
