Inktober 2016, Week 2. 

16/10/2016

A pattern seems to be emerging with my sketchbook. On the days where good things happen, I'm bringing out some drawings that I'm really happy with. On the more   . . . blah days, I'm hitting the black ink and half assed effort and bringing out things I wouldn't be happy with if they were meant to be final works. 

The beauty of this, though, is that they aren't. They are just small sketches in a small sketch book and even when I don't love them because whatever (you know, layout, colour, tone, effort, end result, ascetics*, line work,  text, etc etc etc) they are just little notes for me to refer back to. They are pieces of the whole, not the book itself. 

It seems I am learning to forgive the mistakes this Inktober. Not always a comfortable lesson, but a valuable one. 

*I just typed this word 5 different ways and spell check couldn't decide if I wanted athletics or ascetics and by the end I wasn't even sure this was the word I wanted or what it even meant!!

I acknowledge the Traditional Owners and First People of the land on which I stand, who are collectively known as the Southern Yamatji People. I pay my respects to the Elders past, present and future, for they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and the hopes of the Southern Yamatji People.
I would also like to specifically acknowledge the Naaguja and Wilunya people from amongst the collective group of Southern Yamatji People and pay my respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. The Naaguja and Wilunya Peoples are the Traditional Owners and First People of the place I have made my home and where I make my art.
