got a bunch of school work books from a car boot sale for a pound, the woman selling them said her friend was "one of them hoarders" and she was helping her out. well she handed them over to another. anyway, i needed to be doing some proper things today but i had "artists block" so i decided to copy this from "beyond the classroom: living things" (1976) to get the creative juices flowing and it took ages but it was fun, i traced the picture first using my iphone as a light box and then painted it with gouache and then inked on top. cool.
