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.

Art Dump 2
These pictures were from one of the first books I put together. I'm afraid looking back at them now I have come to realise that I'm probably crazy.
Again the story let me down - it just wasn't as much fun as the pictures.
I love drawing animals and I learnt to draw cats in English A'level class. I used to draw them over my friend Jen's work along with the word SNEEZE- she's allergic. I don't think she thought much of this, neither did our teacher. Happy Days.
This one above was inspired by my mum's cat Mop. He designs hats... :os
Actually am quite an odd person :os
But again characters I love. I remember sending this off somewhere and knowing I wasn't happy with it. Its hard to know what to do when the story doesn't come together - should you move on or keep trying?
