doodles and drawings.. apples and oranges..

okay. so how do i do this? ive thought long and hard about how to set this out and how to split everything up. i try to put everything i do into books ..and ive always known them to be together like that. so thats what im going to try and do here.. its how i feel comfortable. and it kinda makes sense. so its all split up into three books. one. two. three. its as simple as that.

the black book
it used to sit on my book shelf and look bored. and dark. but now it hangs out with my sketch books. its a collection of all the doodles i do on random bits of paper. the ones that i like enough to not want to lose. its mostly made up of doodles ive done in lectures over the last two years. so its all relatively recent. ish. and theres plenty there..

my notepad
this is the only notepad/sketchbook ive filled up in order.. and its all drawn straight in. so its a bit mixed and it feels more like a diary ..rather than a collection or whatever. i started it early summer 1999 ..havnt done much recently.. i guess it feels a bit empty. but it has its uses..

my old sketchbook
this is my oldest sketchbook. it contains drawings from as far back as 1995. its a full sixty pages. it is a bit eclectic ..but i was young. some of its a bit weird ..and theres colour as well. which is nice.. the other books only contain biro stuff but this sketchbook has everything from crayon to nail varnish.. like i said.. i was young.

and the obligatory miscellaneous page..
just some random other stuff. very old. or different. or whatever.

can i explain myself now? i cant really call it art or anything.. its just something i do and enjoy. i like my little drawings and they mean a lot to me. its like.. theyre not trying to mean anything or be something theyre not. theyre just doodles and ideas.. most of them are either childish or boring or crude. but theres something in all of them that i like. not sure what. but nevermind. i guess theyre all just a part of me.. i never did art properly at school so this is probably my backlash. and ive put them up here because i want to share them.. i like my drawings and words. which i think is important.. but i hope other people do too. and yes.. its an expression thing. its about there being a point to doing stuff. and its just like that ..it seems more worthwhile if others see. like it makes more sense..

and why biros? i just love them..
