| I'm not an expert on this subject but I know that there are people who can decipher a doodle and then tell you everything you could ever want to know about yourself. Well, my friends and I have often laughed about this.....not in disrespect, but we wonder what on earth they would make of my doodles. Are you a person who doodles when you're talking on a phone? Have a look at this doodle. It's a combination of a lot of phone calls with different people done over a period of time. The writing pad was next to the phone, so every call I added to it. What do you see? Can you see what type of phone call each one was by how light or dark an area is? |

The originals are about the size of an A4 sheet of paper.

| This one was a combination of phone calls talking to the same person. I can see by looking at this picture that not many of these phone calls were nice ones. You can see how heavy it is. It was a long time ago and I couldn't start to imagine what we must have been talking about. Would you believe that my doodles are what came before my unique style which I developed over a period of time to be what I draw today? When people say to me that they could never draw like me I ask them......do you doodle? |

| The "Blotch" picture was one of the very first pictures I ever drew where anybody took notice of it. (It was kind of hard to miss...haha.) The original was a massive 3 feet (approx. 90cms) square and I had it hanging on my wall in the first apartment I lived in after having left my parents home and venturing out on my own. I think of it as a very organized doodle. What does the black blotch mean? Who knows ...............maybe it was a reflection of my life at the time. |

| Simplistic, innocent, child-like, comparable to Aboriginal art, even phallic are words used to describe my hands art. I've drawn a lot of these over my time yet there aren't two exactly the same. People who know me can tell at a glance that it is my art because my little fingers, bent as they are....have become a trade mark to make my hands art unique. I only do the hands for my friends and it's my way of leaving a little part of myself with them. I have also drawn the pictures using my right hand and a friend's left hand (tracing around our hands like a child will do). Because of what the hands signify they have become very special indeed. |

| Another hand. This time I had in mind a picture of a hand drawing while coming right out of the page. The left bottom corner represents the pages of the book as they've been pulled up by the hand. You can see a little bit of what is on the previous pages. (the writing) With the original picture I drew the hand seperately & glued it over the colored picture underneath. This gave it depth and a very real sense of being a part of a book, because when you run your finger over the hand you can feel a seperate edge, which always surprises the viewer. I even had one friend who exclaimed ...."it looks like it comes right out of the page"....(they touched it and then said)..."wow, I can even feel it coming out of the page!" ...... haha. |
