Mac Martians

I had the urge to draw something silly and fun.. whats sillier than a silly face! I wanted to loosen up my mark making and think less about what I was doing. A lot of the time I over think my pieces, which can sometimes lead to work being overly processed and losing its 'pizzazz'... 

Here's a quote I found a little while ago which encouraged me to just go for it once in a while: 

Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't try to do things. You simply must do things.

Ray Bradbury

Harbour town 18th hole

For my mum's birthday card, I decided to pick up my watercolours after a good 5 years probably of them going untouched! It was nice to have a change from working in pencil and I was pleasantly surprised with the result.. The picture is of the 18th hole of the PGA course at Harbour town in South Carolina where we recently visited and where I played my first ever round of golf!! 

Happy birthday mummy evans :)
