Another drawing of somewhere in Lincoln. This is the South Common. It’s a setting that still pops up in my dreams occasionally. A huge bit of common land and, more importantly when I was a kid, where the fair was situated twice a year.

This is around the corner from me mum’s house. More finger painting here.

I figured it was time to try out some more of the drawing/painting apps for the iPad. I’ve been using and enjoying the Brushes app for three years now. I still use it pretty much every day. But, I’ve seen other stuff, so fancied having a go with one of the newer ones. This is the first quick scribble done using the Procreate app. I kinda like the control you can have with various elements when painting, and it seems to mimic real paint pretty well. And, as you can see here, it can do a decent charcoal imitation, too.

On a bleachingly hot Sunday afternoon in July saw a few innings of an Intercounty Baseball League game at Christie Pits in Toronto between the Toronto Maple Leafs and London Majors. It was way way way too hot to sit on the grass in the sun behind home plate for more than ten minutes. So I sat under a tree beyond the left field fence. Here’s a drawing of the Majors’ wonderfully-named left fielder Cleveland Brownlee.

A tiny bit bigger here.

I had a dream last night that there were people dressed in papier-mâché spheres. Each of the spheres had the name of an MLB team on them, and as each team was eliminated from its division race, the people chopped off that sphere with an axe. They kind of looked and behaved like the Pokey character in the Shifting Sand Land level of Super Mario 64. So I did a drawing.

See it bigger here.
