Sketchbook - Creatures by Tania Metalli
Sketchbook - Creatures by Tania Metalli

The weekend saw me a bit lost on what to do.

So, I just grabbed a new sketchbook and started doodling…creatures, again.

I keep a few sketchbooks that I fill with doodles, scribbles and little creatures, all done in pencil (I don’t often use pencil, preferring pens and markers above everything else).

The fun part is to go back and ink some of this scribbles and creatures – it’s one of my favourite pastimes, a way to relax and unwind while still doing something…I can’t really do nothing.

It’s a curse.

Drawings in the night

by tm · Apr 1, 2011

Nothing like drawing at night.

The lights are dimmed, all the bustle of the day died down, everything is quiet and subdued.

Just the way I like it.

Daily Creatures – The paper bag series

by tm · Jun 16, 2010


#159

The last series of Creatures is probably my favourite, I had so much fun with it!

The main inspiration was a photograph that I saw at the Irving Penn’s exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery.

I’ve always found Penn’s work so inspiring, and it was great to see a retrospective of his most famous portraits.

Amongst these the portrait of cartoonist and illustrator Saul Steinberg in his Nose Mask. Steinberg created a series of brown paper bag masks, apparently to disguise himself and his friends, and Penn captured him wearing one of these masks.

You might know by now that I have a passion for masks, and I find the simplicity and elegance of this photograph totally fascinating. I saw it at the gallery and I joked with Nick that I could do a series of Creatures wearing a paper bag.

When it was time to start a new series the idea came back and I just went with it, and here are the results.

To make things more interesting, I discovered that that picture was actually taken the day before I was born. Not too strange then that I feel such an affinity with it.
