Don and his enormous roll
4 comments:
Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
Enormous roll,..Don in the flesh,..rubbing out without going smudgy,..have another go later,..
ReplyDeleteOoh suits you Sir.
LOL I must say that you captured a certain somethimg Michael.
ReplyDeleteDon glad you think so, I only tend to do this sort of thing when people, as it were ask for it, the exception being professional artists and others in the arts world.
DeleteI was very nearly expelled from school for some drawings of people that appeared in the school magazine, some people seemed to think looked like some of our school teachers, having an interesting time with their rolls and suchlike.
I remember there being one sketch called leapfrog which was particularly badly misunderstood, perhaps it would have gone down better in these enlightened times.
At the time I decided to stop drawing because of the effect on my – perhaps subjects is the wrong word – victims and the consequential consequences on any future career for me.
please visit my Blog to compare Michaels sketch of me
