Lindsay's Maps and Destination Moley
36x14cm, Pen, ink and neo ii
The most recent moley I had from the exchange had gone travelling with me to London, Berlin and back to Glasgow. I like the idea of figuring out what to do next in each moley a lot: it's storytelling as process, and it's interesting to see how different each of us deals with the storytelling.
So: mine was action drawing... hahaha... on 9x14cm with a pen... no paint dribbles in sight.
Have a look - out of the window on the 9:39 am Glasgow - London Euston for 20 mins or so; a tube ride from Mile End to Victoria, until someone sat next to me and obscured the view; after breakfast in my friends' living room in Berlin when they had gone for work; and yet another airport queue in Schoenefeldt while the passport control was slow as usual. I coloured in when back home.

These look great up close like this Gesa - lively snapshots of your journey to Berlin and back, all done boldly and directly with pen and ink!
Thanks, David. Yes: that was part of the challenge: ink in moley so as not to be able to undo without great effort (or tearing out pages). with collage etc i'm quite confident about being able to turn things into something that works (after x iterations) - but the ink is much more challenging. all that finality.
Drawing directly in ink is challenging and it does make you work faster.
I should have added in my earlier comment that this is the way I see sketchbooks being used: quick notations of something glimpsed or sketch workings for future paintings.
You never know when you will come back and find these useful!
