Saturday, August 31, 2013No it's not mistakenly upside down, I uploaded it this way as it's the way I drew it.
When I started to draw my first pieces at the start of 365, Mim mentioned that I should try drawing upside down. Not drawing standing on my head you silly billy. Turning the thing I'm drawing upside down. This way, my brain wouldn't analyse everything and I'd just draw what I saw.
Elena was on my lap in the park one day, and appeared upside down to me. I've always had trouble drawing Elena as my brain always fills in the details. So I drew her upside down and was quite pleased with the result. When I showed her it upside down, she was pretty happy with it too.
But when we turned it the right way up we were both not that happy with it.
So I've uploaded it upside down so nobody undergoes the same disappointment that we did.
442 - Democracy series - portrait of Jeremy Bentham
Friday, August 30, 2013The democracy book I'm reading has a very American slant. However, it does cover the British Utilitarians, starting of course with Jeremy Bentham, whose body (its now a replica actually as his real body wasn't embalmed properly) in Senate House in the university of London. I should pay him a visit one day

I will be spending the next few days away with my family and will not be 'hooking in' to the Internet via phone or computer. I will post everything I made when I get back!
