It's all been a bit quiet for the last couple of months, I've taken the time out to do a bit of drawing and sculpture, perhaps it is a starting point for a new project. I'm hoping to get into the zoo again, the elephants are so expressive, there are a few playful youngsters who try to shove eachother into the water while the mothers hover protectively in the background. They are a mirror to the spectators who are trying to let little Johnny have a gander without climbing up and falling into the enclosure.
