The Cupboard Under the Stairs is a blog about the struggles to use art in a useful way. The name of the blog is because the cupboard under the stairs is where most of the painting and sketches end up - in my case there is also under the bed, tucked in books, in the loft, an old box on which the telly sits and countless draws and shelves. Its getting silly. So this is a new space to encourage me the keep moving forwards.

More Lily-inspired pics
These are some more pictures from the book that I'm making. Most of these come from photos, which in A'level fine art I was told was not the 'done thing', but sod it.
Lily has been loads of fun to draw. I have done sketches of her - mostly when she's asleep - but for a lot of these I have used photos as a guide. I don't draw the photos exactly as I'm rubbish at that and it takes the fun out of it. I also think what's the point of making a painting which looks like a photo - well unless your Chuck Close - and I think you capture something being a bit less precise - not sure what though :os
Lily is very good at having her photo taken :o)
This last one is the last page of the book. It's a very messy sort of book I'm not a tidy person and I think it sort of reflects Lily as well who utterly enjoys mess.
