Sketchdump. These appear here larger than they are in real life (except for that last one). I apparently have an inability to draw in anything other than profile.
1 After a long day of training manoeuvres this young dragon is so tired it falls asleep while waiting for the armour to be removed. Comfy! 2 She owes them a favour. 3 Ha ha, anatomy and hair and fabric. I dislike drawing people. 4 Foxes are fun. 5 Soft fluffy critters! Also fun. 6 See those ripples in the pool of blood and foam? Yeah, still alive. Slowly suffocating under it’s own weight while the prime cuts are being debated. On the plus side, drugged up to the eyeballs, so it probably can’t feel a thing. 7 Meh. 8 Ugh, more people. Fairies stealing children, through…mirrors? I don’t know. 9 Again, I don’t know. 10 Everybody does at least one unicorn rampant at some point in their lives, right? Or more?

As a part of the 18th Biennale of Sydney Tiffany Singh’s artwork, Knock on the Sky Listen to the Sound, had a participation component. From 7 August visitors could take home one of the many wind chimes at the Pier, decorate it, and then return it to Cockatoo Island. So I took one home. It took me a while to get finished, but today I finally managed to complete my chime’s journey.
