Weird and wonderful

 Yesterday evening, I attended a Dr Sketchy's event in Chester: a burlesque pageant (and competition) on the theme of "Out of this World". There was a groovy 60s / 70s vibe, and a profusion of very homemade costumes - couldn't help noticing a number of hairdryers dressed as futuristic guns for the occasion - all great fun! The slight downside was that the competitors did not really understand the term "holding a pose" and moved about pretty much constantly; however, the challenge is part of the fun.


I took along a recently-bought pad of brown wrapping-paper-coloured paper on which I used black biro and white pastel pencil. Here are some of the results.

Incidentally, you can see more of my work - from Dr Sketchy's and elsewhere - on my Facebook page.
