I'm bravely putting up my first drawing / sketch in preparation for the start of Uni. This collage is of my son Niall and represents probably a ten minute window snapshot of his conversations during the school summer holidays. I endeavoured to capture his main talking points of fish (both fishing with maggots, hooks etc as well as his tropical fish tank), Lego; his newly discovered fashion awareness in the form of Hollister, his desire for a Long Board (in old terms fancy skateboard) and a fleeting referral to football (well we were out of season). This was created with a combination of gouache paint and paper collage with some Adobe Photoshop thrown in for good measure.
.....And yes he truly caught this fish on the fist day of the holiday!
