Untitled (Lion) Drawing

I was commissioned to do some drawings of bats in the Zoology Museum. I wanted to try a new technique - the artist must always push himself as much as possible. I chose to use biro. There is a tiny amount of HB pencil beneath, simply to position the image on the paper. When I do still-life work, it is crucial that the objects chosen play into my Narcissistic solipsism: they have to refer to me exclusively. Thus, I never do commissions unless they echo inner interests. I did Biology A level years ago and remember finding a dead bat. I placed it in a jar of formalin and gave it to school I wonder if it is still there? the lion is one of a pair brought from Japan as a present from a good friend. it now crystallises all that I lack: money, travel, serenity. the only thing that can be said for the process is that it brings temporary relief from acute depression, but that sort of goes with the territory. By focusing on a work of art produced by another hand, be it a tourist piece or no, allows there to be a commentary on the state of global culture, and perhaps its moribund state?
