I struggled with yesterday's drawing and tried a few options. Here's another one I liked. I actually wanted a second character in both but I couldn't get the poses to fit together in the sketches.

Happy new year! Late again as is traditional. I did the sketch on the first, at least!

Unfinished, but maybe it's better like this.

@slembcke Yes, although I was always heading off in a different creative direction to my dad and we didn't start to connect about art until the last few years!
@mvu Thank you! That's a good idea, I really do need a proper zoom feature.
I'm biased, of course, but I'd say it's an amazing body of work and it'd be a shame if people didn't get to see it!
He made a lot of sculptures back in the 70s, including some really interesting electromechanical ones. The sculptures were mostly given away over the decades, but I found some big photo albums which document everything he made. I'll have to post some of those here when I have them.
He died a bit over a year ago. There's a joy in going back through his things and discovering drawings which I've never seen before as well as ones which I remember clearly from my childhood, but it also makes me very sad. I wish I had been able to talk to him more about his art.
I need to go back to my parents' flat next week to collect some of his things, including the rest of his works, and take them back to my place. There's a lot of them! I'd like to scan or photograph everything and update the website with a bigger selection.

A few years ago, I made a website to showcase some of my dad's drawings. Take a look: kickingcurlycurly.com
