Doing some fun stuff myself too

‘Art for fun’ is the activity that I offer to others but I draw pictures just for fun too. Sometimes I gift them to a friend whose photos prompted an idea or I tried drawing the same subject as a child or someone said something and it just sparked an idea.

Here are some recent examples.

Rob’s partner called him a hippo and I had seen a photo of him dressed as a train driver recently. The code number refers to one of the lifeboats he works on.

A young girl drew her new toy, a ‘Shopkin’, I just had to have a go too

Oscar was cold so I gave him two of my jackets to wear, he looked so like Yoda.

Rob posts lots of traction engine clips on Tik Tok, I had t in the end attended the Rail and Steam event in the end but could I draw a traction engine?

The family at he table were discussing a trip to Durlston – how well can I remember the scene just from my head – like this it seems

My new shop feature – hand drawn bags, many of which I draw from what I imagine rather than sat at or from a photo of a local view – each is original and unique.

So, I do have a good time and not everything has to be for sale, gifting is fine and is what I used to do pre AndyKnillArt and early on, time it made a comeback.
