This is the final set from the Book of Days volume 6 and from the attempted daily drawing through the nightmare year of 2020. There is still more to come from that year but the Book of Days project finishes here. The first is a Chinese Feng Shui door knocker which is believed functions like a gargoyle in western medieval magical thinking by appearing so fierce it frightens away evil spirits. I love the polished surface of the bronze and had attached it to my front door to prevent harmful things like the pandemic. After a year of horror I’m not sure the door knocker or the gargoyle on the other balcony are particularly effective but both look nice and were patient enough to stay still for a drawing. The second page is another self portrait using leftover paint that was blue. It was painted while listening to the nightmarish Radical Dance Faction when their song Rogue Trooper came on so I adapted it to be a self portrait as Rogue Trooper. I haven’t had that hair cut for years but drew it in for the cosplay of the situation. Next is another protector - a line drawing of the head of Medusa I am building for #earthmoves in Wallasey. Finally, the last drawing from this project, a glimpse of the outside world. The Continuing Ed building at the uni with the shoulder of the Metropolitan Cathedral. I understand that the outside world still exists but my faith in it may require some proof at some point. Hopefully this year. #sketchbookdaily #sketchbookdrawing #sketchbook #2020visions #archive #dontknowwhatyougottillitsgone #protector #fengshui #doorknocker #roguetrooper #radicaldancefaction #dub #quartzzonemassacre #medusa #outsideworld #projectend (at Minster Court) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbp_WE0MhYQ/?utm_medium=tumblr
