Damn, I'm going to miss this place this year. These are drawings of Clermont Ferrand. They're a kind of mixture of realism and imagination, fact and fiction. I like that place in between both. I have an idea for a small series of these drawings. So, if I will not get to physically visit this year, I will travel there through drawing.

2. she's in my head, she's in my mind

This is an X-ray of my head right now. That's exactly what's going on in there at the moment. I get on into a project and I live and breathe it.

I was hoping to post this drawing over the weekend but it took far longer than I'd anticipated. I reckon there's, at a guess, around 16-20 hours work in this spread. I suppose in the grand old scheme of things that's not so long. When you think of how long people take making books or albums then it's a drop in the ocean.

I often think about the making of an album when, late at night when the rest of the world is dreaming, I'm scribbling away creating this crazy stuff. I suppose it's a way of comforting myself. Have you ever seen the film about the making of a Springsteen album ('The Promise; The Making of the Darkness at the Edge of Town')? It's all about that crazy obsessive manic compulsive demanding compelling destructive beautiful creative drive. I bloody love that film, mainly because it reminds me that I'm not alone.

I also think that if I were making an album I would not want to listen to it for at least a year after it's completion. I'm just putting this sketchbook away for a couple of days.

I love this new drawing Andrea...your posts keep me going you know..:) I also think your handwriting is a major creative part of the whole creation and it's just amazingly consistent-like you!...I know NOW that working on a book is an enormous undertaking...my first bookis almost done and will be published soon-very happy day it will be...and when I get paid I will be able to purchase some of your fabulous prints!

Thomas Haskett said, on 4/2/2012 9:56:00 AM

Love this drawing! Wish my handwriting was as neat as yours :)

Tahirih said, on 4/2/2012 11:42:00 AM

I love this soooo....much. It's one of my very favorite of all of your amazing pictures! Will you be offering it as a print?

An amazing drawing - so much to look at. It looks like 16 to 20 hours at least!

Amazing drawing and now thanks to your recommendation I have a new movie to watch!

Alena said, on 4/3/2012 7:38:00 AM

Wow, that's the work! you are insane (in a good way, of course :))

I draw to comfort my mind too, it has appeared to be the best way to do it.

Sue Pownall said, on 4/3/2012 9:51:00 PM

Great drawing and it sums up how full our minds get with a single topic.

Joni James said, on 4/4/2012 12:49:00 PM

the next time my head is feeling jumbled I'm going to think of it like this, instead of a mess!

andrea joseph's sketchblog said, on 4/4/2012 5:22:00 PM

Thank you, all so much folks. I'm so happy that you like this one because despite being very tired of it at the moment (16 hours or more!), I feel it will be one of my faves in time.

Tahirih, I'm not sure but I am looking into prints currently - where you can choose your drawing and I'll get them printed to order. i think I've found a good high quality prnter.

Cheers, everyone. Watch the movie if you get a chance. It's very good.

3. beneath the stains of time

The drawing funk is still going strong, but I've had other things to focus on. I've been looking back through my work, trying to decide what I should include in my upcoming exhibition. This drawing is an oldie. Over three years old, in fact. I have messed around with it a little since, just a bit more cross hatching.

You know, back then when I first made this drawing I really didn't like it very much at all. But seeing it with all this time between us and I feel quite differently. I really enjoyed looking at it again and reading all the notes. They amused me. I asked a friend what they thought about me including it and they said "definitely, it shows that art can be funny". That makes me happy.

So, if you visit my exhibition you will be seeing this one.

You know the drill; click on drawing to read the notes.

Another image that just appeared in my head a couple of days ago. I'm not sure that I've executed it as well as I could have, but it's a part of this whole graphic novel idea which is currently growing and taking over my life. I feel, when I get like this, that I have to draw as much of it as I possibly can. So that I don' forget. So that I always remember the feeling of it. I don't know if that makes any sense. Maybe it does. Maybe it doesn't. It might come to something one day. Or it might just pass. But, right now, I'm living and breathing it.

James Alfred William George Galloway McAlistair ('Boston Jim')

Hailing from a small village in bonnie Scotland, James McAlistair, a determined and ambitious young political activist, set sail as a stowaway on a ship bound for the United States of America in 1773. On arriving at his destination he was discovered and thrown overboard, and found himself covered in tea.

After dragging himself ashore, and dusting himself down, McAlistair sneaked past the authorities and protesters and went into hiding. He lived on the streets of Boston for some weeks until he got back on his feet, found himself a place to stay and began work in the ship industry. He worked his way up from a tea boy to foreman. But McAlistair never forgot his roots, or the scenes and protests that met him on his arrival at the port. This, coupled with the way he saw other terriers being treated in the workplace, started him on his new calling.

'Boston Jim', as he was now known, travelled from town to town fighting for the rights of terriers throughout the sate of Massachusetts. He went on to become the founder of the Terriers Union that won the rights to a five day working week, two weeks holiday a year and a Bonio before bed time for terriers everywhere.

As well as shoes, I've been a little preoccupied with my other project recently; my children's book blog. It feels good to be doing something instead of just thinking about it. Today I finally added a page where people can say 'yes, I'd buy this book'. So, (yep, I'm getting around to asking another favour of you guys) if you think you'd like to buy my book, maybe, perhaps, then please add your name to the page. You can do that HERE. My future publisher needs to know!

And, er, yes, this is a drawing of an origami grasshopper automaton hair slide. Don't you have one yet?

Hey, guys and dolls. I am drawing. Really I am. Here's the proof. It's just that I've suddenly taken to drawing on A3 paper, and I don't own an A3 scanner. I'm loving this bigger paper, though. Just what I needed, double the size paper to fill with the tiniest most intricate of details.

Also, I now have to go to the print shop to get my drawings scanned. I'll have to post photos until I do that. Or, until I (can afford to) invest in an A3 scanner.

Something else I love is making life more complicated for myself.

I tend to scan A3 images in a half at a time and then stick them together in photoshop (if you don't have it photoshop elements isn't too expensive and is pretty good). In fact i once did it with a piece that was A1. its not perfect but if you're patient it works.

Carol H. said, on 5/10/2009 7:13:00 PM

I love those hats! I hope you will show them to us again when you find an easier way to get the pictures into your computer.

Ahhh! I love green! Look at all the lovely greens! I want every one. You're work is awesome!

They are beautiful! I want one of each.

Anonymous said, on 5/10/2009 11:07:00 PM

I love getting lost in the details of your illustrations. I can quite literally spend hours gazing at them. I wish staring and daydreaming were a paid job though! - well, for some people I suppose it is :-) Can I ask which scanner you were using at home that gave you such good resolution? Thank you for having such a lovely blog. Doris from Germany.

Claire M said, on 5/10/2009 11:19:00 PM

What a delight to find your latest pages with these lovely knit hats. It makes me feel like I'm in a hat store with a big problem of having to pick out a favorite. What fun!

Rick said, on 5/11/2009 12:34:00 AM

Love it, love it, love it. When is your book coming out?

Caroline said, on 5/11/2009 2:23:00 AM

Splendid - such fantastic detail you achieve. And I love, love all that green!

Julie said, on 5/11/2009 5:28:00 AM

Put up a paypal button and maybe all the people who adore your work-and who wouldn't (!), could contribute toward your scanner. Your work is amazing.

Teodora said, on 5/11/2009 7:34:00 AM

I am in serious awe when I look at your drawings. Just beautiful!

Sue Sullivan said, on 5/11/2009 2:00:00 PM

Andrea,

I love how you posted these. In the first picture, I get to see more of your life with a bit of the background. The second picture is so interesting having it close and at such an angle.

Your work is so beautiful! I really appreciate you sharing it with us.

Print a serie and u’ll get u’r useless A3 scan.
Even u gt shoes to bought first.
And a maid to hire also..
Simple Digigraphie may suit but photo’s thecs could offer more formats and supports perspectives- oversizing rule! kiss u’r visa- gonna be painfull.
U will found the dupon lab link below- best lab i know- gt the full range of equipment.
And check out printclub london even it’s not adapted to ballpoint tech.

I have just spent the best part of a day looking at every post on your blog (I'm recovering from surgery and the internet is currently the only thing preventing me from gnawing off my own arm in complete frustration). I have to say I am completely and utterly impressed. I love the attention to detail and simple beauty of your ballpoint sketches and then the colour and character of your children's illustrations.

Everything is draw droppingly good and very inspiring. I drew everything and all the time as a child, did an art A Level and haven't drawn in the 13 years since I left school, really (done some collagey stuff, but no real drawing). Life got in the way. BUT - I've found the journey through your blog so incredibly inspiring that I've just ordered a Moleskine journal of my own (god bless the t'internet) and I'm making a pledge to try and draw something every day.

Thank you.

Mixing-Katie said, on 5/16/2009 7:40:00 AM

What beautiful textures!!

Pippa said, on 5/18/2009 7:40:00 AM

When I first saw the top picture I thought, "Oh man, I'd love to flick through the pages of that sketchbook, it looks amazing!". After much studying, I realised that it wasn't even a book but a piece of paper you had made to look like pages in a book. Absolutely marvellous. These drawing are brilliant and I am trying to think of all of the different people I could buy a copy of your book for, once you get it published. That will be a great day.

As I slip into another of those mega drawings it seems like a good time to, once again, do a step by step post.

This drawing has been in my mind for some time. So, let me take you to a place where I go.

I'm not exactly sure where it's heading, but it's where nobody knows if it's night or day.

So stick with me, but, please, don't put your life in my hands.

I'll just throw it all away.

Take that look from off your face. No, I haven't been smoking crack, again.

It's just THIS SONG has been playing in my head ALL day long.

What a calm person you are and so patient. You oughta see the way Peceli attacks a painting - loads of paint and it's finished in ten minutes, then another launch with other colours!
Thank you for the lovely shoes...but I am a barefoot person most of the time.

Well, sorry to leave you hanging like that. I've been a little busy. And, I've been struggling with this drawing. It's been a love hate relationship. I've given up on it a couple of times, then I've given in and worked on it some more, then finally, after a couple of weeks, I finished it. It's another drawing from, erm, 'my book' (!). Which is another reason I've been away for so long - getting ready for Bologna. Yikes, folks, it's getting close.

So, click on the drawing to get a better view. Go on, stick your beaks in.

Very very tacitile! Great texture, great colours. So what it took so long? Look at the result. I am glad you came back to it. One of the comments asked: Do you draw for yourself or for others? Interesting question! Do you dare answer :-) - I have another question on one of my blogs (www.gypsyexpress.com - For Women Only) - do you dare answer that, too? lol

Amazing color! Wish I could reach out and touch it!

Rick said, on 3/5/2009 4:29:00 AM

It is fantastic. I love it. I am fond of green.

rachelhoward said, on 3/5/2009 9:49:00 AM

That's so beautifully drawn - tell me it's not biro! Unless you've got a really cool selection of colours... :-)

Anyway whatever the medium it's wonderfully fluffy and really life like. I still love the notes you add to your work. You should be in marketing. ;)

You're going to brighten a lot of days at the exhibition.

Spinneretta said, on 3/5/2009 12:37:00 PM

Oh how lovely- and what a fun design, very springy!!

pedalpower said, on 3/5/2009 4:14:00 PM

Wow...how much do I love this?! I can't even tell you. I'm a knitter and a drawer...so you can figure it out!

I wanted to tell you (very late) that I loooove the print I bought for you... and I will blog about it when I get it up in my little room. Just taking me longer than I thought to do that!

pedalpower said, on 3/5/2009 4:16:00 PM

oops...bought FROM you...I really need to read before I hit "publish"

andrea joseph's sketchblog said, on 3/5/2009 6:33:00 PM

Thank you all SO much, folkies.

This one took ages. A real struggle, but I think I kinda like it now.

Brendan, that is a huge question which I don't think I could answer. No, I just don't think I could answer that.

Rachel, yes, it is biro. And, yes, I have lots and lots of colours. All extremely cheap.

Joyce, thank you.

Cheers, m'dears.

Sandy said, on 3/5/2009 9:38:00 PM

Wow, the top comment used the word stunning..I'll use it too!

FABulous!

seuss said, on 3/6/2009 1:48:00 AM

andrea, you are now BACK!
it has been awhile since you drew something new.
what happened?

Somehow you'll escape
all that waiting and staying.
You'll find the bright places
where Boom Bands are playing.

With banner flip-flapping,
once more you'll ride high!
Ready for anything under the sky.
Ready because you're that kind of a guy!

Oh, the places you'll go! There is fun to be done!
There are points to be scored. there are games to be won.
And the magical things you can do with that ball
will make you the winning-est winner of all.
Fame! You'll be famous as famous can be,
with the whole wide world watching you win on TV.

Stephen Hall said, on 3/6/2009 1:53:00 PM

This is wonderful and I love it. the fluffiness jumps out at you. The text makes it unique and special and so glad it will appear in your book,it has to be a big book that you can put on the table and ask friends to browse while you cook, I cook really slow ... :-)

edgar cabrera said, on 3/7/2009 6:34:00 PM

oh my gosh this is beautiful Andrea! Can't believe you patience and attention to detail

Sherry said, on 3/7/2009 10:05:00 PM

I need a good spring cap to cheer me up here in muddy Janesville. Your cap would be just the ticket for my eyes that are so hungry for green. What a delightful lot of detail you have woven into this noggin.

wagonized said, on 3/8/2009 9:15:00 PM

This is fab. I love it and i love you!
:-D

Stephen Gardner said, on 3/9/2009 7:52:00 PM

YOU ARE AWESOME, I don't like to use that word generally speaking but you leave me no choice.

tlc illustration said, on 3/11/2009 1:43:00 AM

This is really fabulous - I was given the link to your blog via dinahmow, and I'm very much enjoying your work here. I'm a sucker for hand-written captions and commentary combined with pictorial elements, which you do very well.

Good luck in Bologna. I went 2 years ago. Rather overwhelming with the sheer number of things to see!

andrea joseph's sketchblog said, on 3/13/2009 4:49:00 AM

Thanks, folks.
Just a great big THANKS.

Allan Barbeau said, on 3/20/2009 2:10:00 AM

It's cOol to see some nice colored ballpoint pen pictures . It show me that I'm not the only one crasy about this technique !! C U

Sue said, on 3/23/2009 12:04:00 PM

It's awesome! However, I do think it'd be easier to knit this hat than to have drawn it - and I don't knit too well. :)

Do you ever come to Maine? I would very much like to watch you draw.

Good luck in Bologna! (Now that I have realized you're not illustrating a book about the lunchmeat but going to the place. Silly me!)

nOeL said, on 3/28/2009 10:34:00 AM

Andrea, your work is truly inspiring! I adore all the textures! Keep 'em coming! :)

The obsessional part of me knows no bounds. I first did a drawing like this for the MoleyX project. Those little Japanese Moleskines are so tiny, I knew I wanted to revisit this subject because I needed more room to put the notes in. I felt I needed to explain where granny had gotten her jewellery from. So, revisit I did, both in a brand new Moley and on an A4 sketchbook. I abandoned the sketchbook halfway through and kept going with this. I now realise what this drawing actually needs. And, that's an A3 page. So, yeah, one day, in the future, I'll be revisiting it again. On A3!

I hope you can read the notes, they are very tiny. It's almost like a mouse has written them.

This is wonderful! Love the necklaces and the little stories to go with them - such imagination! Granny would be proud of you! P.S. I left you a little award on my blog.

This is WONDERFUL Andrea! Wow...was your granny ever spectacular :)

Vicki Robison said, on 2/18/2009 8:45:00 PM

Each day since I found your blog I check my updates hoping to find yours. And today it was there! I so love your work. And the combination of graphics and typography, wonderful!

Kathleen said, on 2/18/2009 9:04:00 PM

Hmmm, if your granny was on the Titanic, how old must that make you (*counts on fingers and quickly runs out of numbers . . .*)??
Love all her jewelry, though!!

sam said, on 2/18/2009 11:40:00 PM

Really LOVE the stories you've written for each thing. Superb. I read the first one about the engagement ring, and thought they were going to be genuine. I had to do a double take at the next one.

Jules said, on 2/19/2009 12:45:00 AM

This is an absolutely lovely drawing, as always. That Granny of yours... would I ever love to meet her! :)

Teodora said, on 2/19/2009 1:00:00 AM

Absolutely lovely! My favourite is the birdie in the cage

The Gypsy said, on 2/19/2009 1:40:00 AM

So beautiful and expressive. Aren't grandma's amazing? I love the whole concept - the jewelry (I love jewelry and design it) the drawing, the words, the stories, the caligraphy and the very human touch in it all. Would love to see the A3!!

Wow! That is an incredible piece of work! I LOVE it. And as for your imagination - it rocks!!!!
Maybe I need to upgrade my jewellery designs to be more like your imaginations! Wonderful!
I especially love the touch of colour in the image. I can so imagine this in a book one day. And I would buy that book!

R.E. Wolf said, on 2/19/2009 5:24:00 AM

Granny was BUSY!!!
You continue to amaze me.

Laure Ferlita said, on 2/19/2009 8:50:00 AM

No boundaries can be good, or as in this case, great!

Oh my, would I have loved to have known your granny. She sounds a whole lot like my granddaddy! Thanks for a trip to memory lane!

Rita said, on 2/19/2009 2:13:00 PM

I chuckled all the way thru! Had no trouble reading them when I clicked on the picture to enlarge it--except that it gave me a crick in my neck--ROFL!! Wonderous!! :):)

RetRomantic said, on 2/19/2009 2:36:00 PM

I love it. But I'm afraid , one day I shall most likely turn into a similar granny. My collection is already odd and curious. Thanks for inspiration and a good laugh :)

Lexy. said, on 2/19/2009 3:01:00 PM

Your handwriting is just as good as your drawing!!

Love all the stories. Especially the 20,000BC (ish) and the bit about Sicily. And the brand of the watch!!

melissa said, on 2/19/2009 4:23:00 PM

I love to get caught up in the little details that make up an AJ original. That Granny was some dame!

edgar cabrera said, on 2/19/2009 8:27:00 PM

This just blows my mind! Cheers to your Granny!

Beth Baxter said, on 2/19/2009 9:24:00 PM

I love the intricacy of the design.

Gulnaz said, on 2/19/2009 10:00:00 PM

wow, I love the way you draw--detailed and I love how you design the whole spread

rachelhoward said, on 2/20/2009 3:20:00 AM

Well I've just spent a little while at my desk with my head on one side. If Steve comes back from wherever he's gone with that coffee and does the same, I'll be entertained to see if people start wondering what's going on. :)

This is such a great coincidence - I was staying at my cousin's just after Christmas and she has huge racks of necklaces - I took a few photos thinking it might be cool to try something with them.

Now I have an excuse not to bother - I'll NEVER equal this! What a fantastic idea. Wonderful detail considering the size you were working at! Would love to see another version on A4 (if you want more jewellery pictures you know where to come!)

A friend and I used to play a game if we were out somewhere - we'd ask each other about the origin of something, like a weird bit on the side of a building and the other would have to come up with an explanation - my God you'd be red hot at that.. (Hang on, I'm getting deja vue.. I was putting something about the same friend on Winna's site the other day...weird.)

rachelhoward said, on 2/20/2009 3:21:00 AM

I mean A3... obviously...

croqui said, on 2/20/2009 8:19:00 AM

nice blog, amazing works!

Rick said, on 2/20/2009 12:28:00 PM

I had to turn my laptop on its side to read about your Granny. She sure got around. Sorry about the Nobel. That will teach them to send it in the regular post - should have used Fedex.

Stephen Hall said, on 2/20/2009 1:02:00 PM

Andrea, you do the most amazing and intricate art!Then you take it to another place... then do something better, and then improve on it. The {worse) thing is ... I guess there is more in there to come out. Love your stuff! :-)
I'm off to Argos to find an old sad pen and try my luck ...x

andrea joseph's sketchblog said, on 2/20/2009 2:23:00 PM

Thanks, folks.

Yeah, granny sure did pack a lot into her 127 years.

I'm quite happy with this drawing, but I think I may just be completely happy with the next, and 4th, attempt on a bigger A3 page. Maybe.

I couldn't even tell you about how she got the seahorse necklace. Or, how the engagement ring had to be put on a chain because her fingers got all fat when she accidentally swallowed a hellium balloon.

Oh well. Glad you guys liked it. Cheers, lovely peeps.

Teri C said, on 2/20/2009 7:52:00 PM

What a brilliant composition, one only you could think of and make it so successful!!

Pippa said, on 2/21/2009 8:00:00 AM

I LOVE the drawings you do where it is necessary to view it big and study it for hours to really appreciate it. This one did make me a bit dizzy (tilting my head from one side to the other) and I will have to go and lie down now, but it was totally worth it.

kimprint said, on 2/22/2009 9:53:00 AM

This is amazing. Lovely work.

Margaret Ann said, on 2/24/2009 7:34:00 PM

Phenomenal...Totally "charming" in every sense of the word. You and granny would have made a wild twosome! :)

11. dawn gives me a shadow i know to be taller

Well, folks. Sorry there's no new drawing this week (I've got one on the go) but I wanted to re post these and to share something with you, too. Yesterday I found out that I have been selected to exhibit at the Bologna Children's Book Fair. Anyone who's involved in children's books will know that Bologna is THE event of the calender. I am so excited, I still can't believe it. I keep checking the website to see if that really is my name. This has been a dream of mine for at least a decade. These are two of the drawings that I submitted.

Also, I'd like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who visits my blog. I wouldn't have realised this dream if it hadn't been for all the support and encouragement you give me on a daily basis.

Just one more thing, my email has been acting really screwy recently. For anyone who has tried to contact me and hasn't received a reply 'sorry'. I try to get back to everyone within a week, so if I haven't done it's my stupid email account not getting messages through to me. Either, leave a comment here or send me a Flickr mail and I will try and get back to you via my new account.

andrea joseph's sketchblog said, on 2/7/2009 5:40:00 PM

Wow, everybody. Thank you ALL, SO much.

I still can't quite believe it. I keep thinking somebody is going to call me up and say it was all a big mistake and I'm not in after all.

Thanks again, I'm off to try and take all this in. Cheers.

Oh my! That is SO wonderful, Andrea!!! Congratulations!!!! I can hardly wait to hear what it's like and how it goes there. Does this mean we'll get to see a childrens book from you soon?? I sure hope so!

Thanks, ladies.

Kathleen, that would be the most perfect case scenario. Being selected for the Fair gets me closer to that goal than I anything else ever has. So, fingers crossed.

Thank you, Casey, and erm, Carol!

You so deserve to be recognized and to have your work out there where others can enjoy it. It's a privilege to get to see your creativity here. Congratulations:-D

Right guys, I promise, I PROMISE, this is the last you'll see of this drawing. I have no choice in the matter anyway, the the doodles are the only thing holding the paper together. It's falling to pieces, but still, at least I feel better about it than I did a while back.

I have noticed that Illustration Friday's theme this week is 'Opinion'. So, as I finished this yesterday, I'm calling this my contribution. Some might say I should have given up on this drawing a long time ago. But I'm of the opinion, I mean the naughty kid who drew on desk is of the opinion, that it's better to burn out than fade away. Me and this drawing. Totally burnt out.

So, that's it. I'm calling this one Done. Finished. Finito. Doneski.
