I’m busy!

David Hockney states that “you can make a drawing of the sunrise at 6AM and send it out to people by 7AM” when working in the digital medium, and his daily iPad drawings have had a significant influence on my own artistic output over the past few years. It is because of this immediacy, and for the instant responses and critiques from those who received them, that I began to use a free drawing programme on my iPhone in 2011. The resulting works are generally produced just using my fingers, and I like the freedom and the abstract forms created with this method. The pared down equipment allows me to spontaneously capture scenes away from the studio, for example when on public transport, in cafes, in urban areas and parks, and when travelling abroad. I have no expectations of how each work will turn out; they are just a glimpse of life and everyday scenes, designed to record a fleeting moment.

This was a scene on the New York Subway where a young woman busy listening to her music,  appeared to have every right to be upbeat and optimistic about her life at the present time.
