People-watching and RSI

The WA Museum is becoming a favourite haunt for those times when I get the itch to sink my teeth (pencils) into some complicated subjects. >>Simon Boxer was my sketch-buddy for two consecutive mornings. After putting up some work for the Laneway Art & Lattes exhibition (part of the >>Eat Drink Perth festival) we plonked ourselves outside the state gallery for some old-fashioned people-watching.

The next day we got up bright and not-so-early for some more serious practice at the museum. I tend to forget what my muscles are doing while I’m concentrating on a piece (for way too long) and almost killed my shoulder drawing mr Antelope with its fiendishly complex shiny black horns. I left Simon at the Dinosaurs Alive exhibit and he rocked on into the afternoon with another friend.

After all that I still haven’t made it past the bison.
