THE EVE of the DRAWING DAY 2013

National Drawing Day 2013 is tomorrow - It's very near the time now, and I'm getting excited, though inevitably anxious as well, worried in case I forget something, and 'spoil the ship for the hap'worth of tar'.

Hope all goes to plan.
RuaRed have obliged me by removing those signs and wires from the window. They want the work to be left on display for three weeks - I think that's great. I'm including my email address with the blurb, in case anyone feels like making contact.

I will write/draw for ten minutes, and then rest for ten minutes from 2-4 pm tomorrow Saturday May 18.

I'm using architects plan paper which is translucent, and so will allow the writing to be seen from the back as well as the front. Getting very large sheets of  newspring needed more effort than I had energy for.

The invite to participate reads as follows: YOU can move the artist’s hand (for 5 seconds) to make YOUR mark in the work. Hope people aren't too shy. The whole idea is that my marks will be so 'unskilled' on account of using my left hand, that other's will feel encouraged.

Not long now .....
