Etienne's Scribbles grand opening!

Hello there all you netizens out there. Welcome to my own private little space on the net. This will be a place for me to share my thoughts about life, the universe and everything as well as to show off anything I may be proud of.

I'm following a fine arts course right now so I plan on posting regularly some of my work hoping to make this blog double up as a chronological log of my progress (if any) as well as an online portfolio. I also dabble in lots of other hobbies so there might be stuff of interest to anyone here.

Of course you might think that I'm just another blogger wasting time and bandwidth. You'd probably be right, but hey - bandwidth's cheap nowadays.

Coincidentally, today I have made the purchase of a brand new Canon A720 digital camera following the premature demise of my trusty old A80, so I've been busy today taking snapshots of some of my past work. I plan on posting them one at a time over a period in parallel with my current work, mostly because I couldn't be arsed to post them all at once.

The bulk of the work is quite a number of A2 size pencil or charcoal life studies completed during the course of my first figure drawing class ever. They're not masterpieces, but I'm quite happy with most of them given that they are mostly half hour sketches done under less than ideal circumstances. I also have several paintings done in pastel as well as one or two oils.
