Day 04

'Lions' Share', Pencil and Marker on paper.

Just started back to work today after a long break over Christmas, which I'm sure for all of those of you who have recently went back to work can understand is an undeniably horrible feeling. It's amazing that no matter how much time you have to prepare yourself, the instance the realisation of starting work again enters your brain it generates a sense of apathy so overwhelming that ever sinew, every synapse grinds to a halt, rendering you practically incapable of doing much of anything... On top of this you seem to spend the entire morning and journey to your place of work creating scenarios that involve you somehow not having to go, things like:

- Getting seriously injured, but not so seriously injured that you may die or be unable to go out that weekend.

- Someone has taken seriously ill and you must rush to their aid, but not so seriously ill that they might die or leave you unable to go out that weekend.

- Your house collapsed around it's own gravity before imploding, but not so much so that you don't have a place to live or somewhere lacking in gravity in which to hold a party before going out that weekend.

- You happened to catch a flame whilst trying to griddle some beef, but not so seriously a flame that you would die or be unable to eat the beef before going out at the weekend.

Pretty much some of the most convoluted and ridiculous set of circumstances possible will flash through your brain and for an instance you'll actually seriously consider them just to put it all off for another day. Instead your forced to hang on to those tiny moments that actually exist to stave off the process of actually beginning work, staying in bed that little bit longer, pretending that you really need to go to the bathroom and hiding there for at least 5 mins, reorganising all the stationary on your desk so that it's perpendicular to each other and purposefully looking for something you don't really need or already know where to find as your convinced you can't work without it, all in all the amount of effort we put into trying to get out of work maybe it's better to just get on with it!... which rather untidily brings me to the actually point of this post the Drawing.

This like yesterdays's drawing is a concept for a T-shirt design I've had in my head for a while, like a lot of work I've done in the past it references my partiality for plays on words, something you'll probably see will become more evident over the course of this project. Also I don't exactly know why but this image never fails to raise a smirk on my face so hopefully it will do the same for yourself.
