The plans of Mice and Men ...
Although the original concept for this photo-blog may have changed somewhat due to Life, Love etc (ad nauseum), I WILL chip away at this thing (where possible) until I have completed the countdown from 365. Who knows, I may have a sudden rush of available time (cough) or overwhelming inspiration and still complete the project within the 12 months, although the realist in me says "you're dreamin' mate" ... Whatever, However and Whenever, fruition SHALL be reached (and I have it on good advice that Fruition is a rather nice place, particularly in Spring) :o)

Almost achieved the old scraper board technique here Andy... for those perhaps unfamiliar with the art form, I recall it was popular back in the late 60's, where an artist worked their Black & White illustration on a precoated board with a scalpel or similar scratch-tool. The artcard is coated with white china clay then that in turn is coated with a layer of black India ink. You literally scrape away the surface creating your image in the white that shows through. Back then in the era pre-computers, mono-graphic artwork was usually produced by hand on white china clay coated artcard using black India ink, a No.3 sable brush and a scalpel for retouching. I still have my brush !
