Inspiration- Patrick Morgan

Yep, just like so many lovers of drawing I really dig Patrick Morgans work, whether people or still life or rooms, they have a lovely fresh quality. 
In sharp contrast to my views on what makes proper art when I was a student, and how I would have felt about Patricks work (oil painting is the highest, anything else isn't worth it) I now admit I prefer his more drawing based work to his oil paintings.  Maybe the drawings show more directly the personality of the creator?

There must be harder things in life than trying to draw a playing 3 year old.  I am yet to discover what.

Lapin

On this blog, in addition to my sketches I will also post other stuff which has inspired/ influenced/ interests me.
First...

A drawing by one of my absolute favourite illustrators Lapin. I love the wobbly flow and continuity of the line, and limited colour.
