Well, from that photo I've developed this black and white line drawing, and another based on one of the fasicas at Holborn that have proven to be such a source of inspiration.

So, you get from this:


to this:



Note the cunning removal of the chip and pin reader and I felt the horizontal strut spoilt the lovely curve of the bracket...so some artistic license allowed...

And from this:



The Egyptian head image is currently at a screen-printers waiting to be turned into something that can be printed onto t-shirts. First tester will be white on black. I'm stupidly excited that an actual physical object based on my drawings - well sophisticated tracings - may possibly exist by the end of the week.

So, as this is supposed to be an art project, what do people think so far? Would anyone actually part with money for such a garment?  Note:  I'm not actually asking people to give me money, just curious in theory as to whether they would consider it marketable quality?  If thy saw it in a shop would they pick it up? As well as t-shirts, I am also planning on getting the prints onto fabric metreage so I can make more interesting garments incorporating the images and appliques of the mummies.

And bloody hell, but my wrists ache with drawing for about three hours solid this evening.  Still, I am determined to not let having a full-time job take over my life - I am actually doing more work now in the evenings than I did in the year of  not having a salaried job to be slave too.  I feel more like myself, more able to cope and be active again.  Foolish...

Spent the afternoon actually playing with paints again for the first time in ages - only fabric paint mind you but have created some motifs based on the fascias at Holborn. They're about the length of a remore control and a bit nicer than they've come out in the pics taken in my very dark workroom
