Circled Drawings.

I think if I was being fancy I could describe them as vignettes, but really they're just a couple of drawings that've been sitting on my desk for a while. They clearly don't have any real relationship other than their border but I quite like them and I've been meaning to do something with them for a while.

"It's a good life if you don't weaken"

About this time last year, whilst living in Brighton, I read Graeme Green's 'Brighton Rock' and loved it. I really like reading books set in places I know, it's that whole thing of recognising street names, imagining the walking through locations where the action is set and getting an extra feel for the book. This illustration was obviously inspired by the book but more specifically that sunny, bank holiday scene that is so important in the beginning of the book and which still happens now.
