The start of a new drawing artwork will likely be about 8x1.5m. Inspired by aspects of Japanese writing, later overlaid with marine blue, then ultra-fine pen work and an element of Edo.

My latest micro-sized engineering pens and ink drawing, Carrickalinga 2025. Made from millions of tiny 1 - 5 mm drawn circles representing grains of sand.

The latest engineering pen and ink drawing is complete. Carrickalinga 2025. It was previewed in Yankalilla, and the feedback was exceptionally positive.

Nothing says high fashion like working in a studio at 7 degrees temperature.

Leith's fingers and hand in a grey woven glove. The finger covers have been roughly cut in half to allow finger tip feeling.

A little more detail from my new drawing "Circle of Life". Each circle represents a neuron. The image will be more descriptive when finished, but essentially, it will show neuron activity and EEGs.

Once again, Bailey very kindly helped with laying out a new drawing.

I started the general loosey goosey ink layout for the next drawing. Due to its size, it needs to be laid out on the ground. While drying in the sun, Bailey kindly chose to be part of the process. Just a little walk, then lie down...

The beginnings of a new drawing. It won't be all that big, only about 1.5 metres by 2 metres. Trying the introduction of origami. So when completed, it will need to be unfurled and folded to reveal the full image.

Drawing about 4 metres by 1.5 metres, millions of tiny hand-drawn circles, about 1 millimetre each.

Finally finished. This 6-metre drawing comprises millions of hand-drawn circles, less than a millimetre each. The details are about 30 centimetres square.

My 6 metre drawing is nearing completion. However, only about 70cm is visible here, protected by plastic. #inkdrawing #contemporarydrawing #artiststudio #queerart #abstractart
The drawing table used by Leith. Three large photography lights with defusers shine upon the surface. Part, about 1 metre square, of an abstract and detailed drawing is visible. A further 6 metres is rolled under the table surface. The drawing is partially protected by plastic.

Carrickalinga North Abstract Cartography continues. Cramming a quarter of an hour into about 5 minutes. It's very meditative, but super duper slow.

I'm back, working solidly in the studio. It has been challenging to be consistent due to the heat.
#contemporarydrawing #inkdrawing #australianartist #artiststudiospace
The paper is 10m long but shows about 1.5m spare. Drawing uses Rotring engineering pens. Thousands of hand-drawn circles are shown, less than a millimetre in diameter, creating black and red patterns.
