21 Fun

Drew a card for a friends wishing her a Happy 21st Birthday!!
It's a card so not a spontaneous sketch. I had the idea in my head to start with.
Thought process: birthday> balloons> age 21> 21 ballloons!! > girl holding big bunch of baloons!

Piano man

I drew a line that turned into the lid of a grand piano. Since I drew a piano I figured it needed a piano man to go with it.

Take a listen to Piano Man by Billy Joel. Great song.

It's been so long since I scribbled this that I don't know how it came about other than that it was during a lecture in 2012 September Thirteenth...obviously. It's one of my favourites.

The Magic Garden

So the story behind this scribble.

Well it started as scribbles back and forth again and again. I realised it looked a bit like some sort of plant - and then I thought of gardens - and then magic gardens with fairies. So I drew in the fairy on the right and the toadstool because they look cool and appear in magical garden don't they? Lastly I added in fairy number 2 because a flying fairy would be nice and now fairy one has company.

I love this scribble because I think it looks like I didn't draw it. What I mean is that it looks like it belongs with the block of text, almost like an illustration in a novel. But really, this is a column from Sunday Life, one of those supplements that come in The Sunday Age.

On that note I love reading the newspaper. Especially on a leisurley weekend day. And in hardcopy. Flipping though the physcial pages just doesn't compare to scrolling and clicking online or swiping and tapping on an Ipad. It's the atmosphere of the whole thing. Haha now you probably thing I'm a bit weird. Which I am I suppose. Although I don't believe in fairies. Sorry Tinkerbell! But I do love the idea of them in fiction.

Hello! Welcome to my blog which I've created because someone suggested I start one for all these random drawings I do. So here it is.

I'm not much of a drawer in the sense that if I have something in mind and try to draw it, it never comes out to be what I want. Instead a lot of my scribbles are unplanned. I put pen to paper, have no idea where I'm going and sometimes something nice will turn out. That something nice might end up here.

Sometimes I scribble during lecture breaks - whether lecturer imposed of self imposed =P - so that's why there's sometimes random words in the photo.

But I suppose this blog is called Scribble Show Tell so any assortment of random stuff might find its way here. I might introduce you to picture books or stuff that happens in my home city Melbourne.

Happy readings, happy viewings  =]
