I've continued to produce a series of windscreen drawing towards my final project installation. This particular one was drafted directly from a sketchbook with little changes made to the overall composition.

The image depicts modern street furniture combined with street lighting that harks back to a Victorian era. Again, I've decided to keep the use of colour to a minimum - bar a small arrow which I've used hatching.

I'm intrigued by the abundance of street signs as signifiers to non-places. Fake, Victorian street lamps using a combination of drawing equipment...

My blog activity has been put on hold a bit of late, where I've found myself considering some of the practical work for my final show installation. I intend to submit the following for my final project:

1. Non-places report.

2. Installation consisting of hand made road bollards, drawings on rear view mirrors, 8 drawings of non-places contained within a windsreen printed (collographed border). Recordings of place and non place.

3. Installation written proposal including drawings.

4. This blog (posting from june 2008 onwards).

5. Journal: compilation of diary notes, blog print outs, editorial attempts, sketches and evidence of process. This will be A4 size and bound together with rings with hardboard cover front and back.

6. Selection of sketchbooks and possibly my illustration portfolio (although this is still something of a work in progress.

The image posted is a drawing produced in Little Chef restaurant at Barnetby Top services in North Lincs. I've attempted to capture the essence of this place using the mitsubishi pen in conjunction with the Faber Castell Pitt. repetition of line, shape whilst retaining the urgency of the 'reporter'.

I've looked again at the tablet image and have scanned a a blister pack. The background has been made up with collage elements and the digitally altered in photoshop.

I've used the multiply tool and have dragged the marks out of 10 across. These were originally drawn with the rotring art pen.
