I Want to be a Robot

The human part of me is really letting me down, it kind of feels like drawing has become a contact sport, and my body is in bits… nothing has taken a toll on my body like this project.

I thought ‘right okay, man up, make a decision’, so I went into school and asked for an unpaid sabbatical, re-mortgaged the house, took the year off and it was the best decision I’d ever made.

If I can pick it up and rub it and it doesn’t disintegrate, then I’m going to draw it.

Everything regardless of size would have equal importance.

I thought it’d be great if my 'drawing a day book' for 2014 was going to be all the items from my grandfather’s tool shed.

My family have got really manly jobs they’re welders, steel fabricators, plumbers, electricians, miners and I’m educated in the arts and I’m a vegetarian!
