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.

Late Halloween ;o)
Happy Halloween (belated)
It was great this year because Lily was old enough to be excited about it. We fed trick or treaters and I even dressed her up in a little second hand witchy dress and hat - next year I'll make the costume.
I am creating a book at the moment which is simply a counting book, but it has been driving me made as I just want a white background and whenever I scan the paper comes out weird. I am also doing at least two other books becoz I keep getting ideas, which means I never finish anything :o(
I am really thinking of doing a course I have always wanted to - it sounds stupid, but I'm a bit scared to :os what if it all goes wrong???
Anyway, thought I'd share a couple of pics. I did not enjoy drawing skeletons - it felt like science - they are in shoes becoz I didn't even want to attempt skeleton feet :os though I quite like skeletons in shoes, why not?
I hope you think they're ok. The toads are my favorites.

OK, it's the middle of the night, even though the time clock on this website might not say that for some reason, and I've just read the whole of your blog I could find.
ReplyDeleteI think there's a blob of genius that runs in your family. There!
Just because a publisher doesn't like it, doesn't mean it isn't good.
That's my word of wisdom cousin, deal with it! ;-)
