Just a quick - and very late post this week. Partly cos’ I’ve been busy, partly cos’ I’m away next week (so no post). One of the things I’ve been working on is a graphic story about my need to exercise, y’know for health, and my complex relationship with exercise - which is both to do with type 1, and probably more to do with the psychology of competition.

Anyway these are things I’m working out - which you can see below in some of my thumbnails and starting sketches [fig.2-4] - where I’m beginning to establish the relationship between image and text. In these rough sketches trying to establish a pattern of physicality and movement through line, shape and the frame.

But more importantly, whilst running this morning, the sight of me had this effect on a squirrel [fig.1], which will probably make it into the final piece… so there’s that.
