Back to the Drawing Board
I was very excited to get my old drawing board back on the weekend. My old housemate Rapunzel had had it on semi-permanent loan for several years, ever since we’d moved house and I had no room for it in my tiny apartment.
Having recently given up her own, Rapunzel asked if I wished to have it back. I’m still in the same tiny studio apartment, but didn't want to ditch the drawing board altogether, so a little reshuffle of furniture in my apartment created some room in front of a window. It’s a little crowded, but it’s just so wonderful to have a proper work desk for traditional art instead of spreading out on the kitchen table.
A new sheet of boxboard and it's back to business as usual – right now it’s covered in hundreds of words waiting to be assembled into poetry collages.
