Drawing at the hairdressers, love the strange contraptions, like the shoulder bowls (left) to catch the hair-dye and strange perming devices. That’s me in the middle having a rapid blow dry, 3 hairdressers working on me at the same time with 6 hairbrushes!.. these all feature in large relief panel see MTRC Sophisticates…pages torn out of small sketchbooks

 

People nodding off on the way home, pre pandemic, 1990

Minibus drivers in Hong Kong, my favourite seat is directly behind the driver so the large rear mirror frames the interior scene, can you spot me descreetly drawing inside my handbag…

 
 

Loved this woman leopard skin mask. This shows how directly I use sketches for reliefs.
