Narolc's photostream  

This is page 78 of notepad #64 (since 1994, I have used spiral bound notepads to sketch, write, record my life, etc), which was filled earlier this month. I'm on pad #65 now!
The poem is typical of material I have occasionally performed and regularly post on my blog (link below), but the drawing at the bottom of the page is what I wanted to share on Flickr. I don't know who the woman is, presumably my unconscious based her on someone, I just like how it turned out. At risk of aggrandising a doodle, I consider this a drawing.

When I draw, I find inner peace; a connection with my purest self. A self free from the petty intrigues foisted upon the ego by modern society in materialist circles. I find the freedom of roaming my imagination and the thrill is akin to rediscovering my childhood innocence: a place of inner calm where there are no rules, no fears and no limits. I allow my unconscious to guide my hand so, often, my drawing is effortless (or so it feels). I hope the results (this upload being my latest work) are satisfying to look at.

My compliments of the season to ALL here on Flickr, especially the many loyal contacts (too numerous to name) who have supported me throughout the past year just by looking at my work: thank you! And a happy new year!

This is the full colour version of my previous upload. I used gel pens and am disappointed that my scanner hasn't really done the image justice: there are lots of yellows in there that can't be seen! I hope people will still enjoy it.

My respect, goodwill and best wishes as always,
