What I Wore Today 12

After the video, going back to drawing these things seems a bit boring. Maybe that's why the colours are a bit crazier than usual. You should, of course, be checking out the awesome Flickr group What I Wore Today (in drawings) for tons of submissions by tons of great people. My favourite contributor is probably Carolyn Alexander because she's all sweary and that.

What I Wore Today 11

My 11th What I Wore Today drawing for the awesome Flickr group. If I'm being honest, this is what I wore 2 days ago. What I'm wearing now, a grey t-shirt and jeans, was too boring to draw.

Along with this post, I'd like to give some shout-outs. Firstly, thanks to everyone who has recently bought something from my shop. I've been totally blown away with the response and I'm feeling pretty motivated to make some new work. Thanks to Jez Burrows for putting my zine up on It's Nice That. I was hyped as hell. And although I'll never admit to namesearching, I have noticed a few blogs and tumblr things with links headed my way - so if you've been nice enough to point people in my direction, I'm very grateful.

Two sites in particular got in touch to say they featured me - Discreet Math and Sooner Than Now. Check out both of those - they're really fantastic.

Hello also to any new readers. Thanks for taking the time. If you're so inclined, subscribe to my blog and you'll be notified of any future nonsense. OK, that's enough. You'd think I'd won an Oscar.

What I Wore Today 10

Another drawing for the What I Wore Today (in drawings) group on Flickr. This one didn't turn out how I wanted at all but I kinda like the bird, so what the hell. The character (me) isn't so hot.

Also, something seemed to go funny with my last post and it may have not appeared in feeds properly. If you subscribe and you missed my big post about the Dundee Jamboree, click here to read it.

What I Wore Today 9

A two-for-one drawing this, firstly it's a submission to the What I Wore Today (in drawings) Flickr group, illustrating an old cardigan Alex bought me in Philadelphia. Secondly, it's a sneak preview page from my new zine.

The artwork is all done, scanned and (mostly) cleaned up and ready for print. All that's really left to do is the cover, the name and some hand-coloured elements once it's back from the printers. Quite a bit, then. The first batch will be available at the Dundee Jamboree and I'll put them up here for sale at a low, low price after that.

What I Wore Today 8

Another drawing for the What I Wore Today (in drawings) Flickr group. It's slightly different to the other ones, not much mind you, but a little. I think that since I seem to be on a weekly jag with these things, I should try to experiment with different styles and techniques every time I do one. Hell, I practically wear the same bloody clothes every day so I gotta find something new to do.

What I Wore Today 7

Today, for What I Wore Today (in drawings) I decided to try out something a little different than my previous silly entries - tracing!

Ever since being taught at school that tracing was a very bad way of learning how to draw, I've left well alone. I always viewed it as a bit of a cop-out. Not quite cheating, just kinda being a bit lazy. Recently, however, I've been really loving a lot of work that uses tracing. It has this great mixture of reality and wonkiness that can be really odd and interesting.

So, I had a little go. It's not quite what I was after, but I kinda like it. As with anything (like magic or dynamite), it can be used for good or evil and it's something I intend to explore more thoroughly. I guess tracing it a bit more of a slippery slope than some other techniques in that, should you rely on it too much, you're gonna screw up your brain. It is the cocaine of the drawing world.

What I Wore Today 6

My sixth little drawing for the Flickr group What I Wore Today (drawings only). Click for big. I actually wore this gear yesterday but unless I told you that, you'd never know. The great Oz has spoken. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

What I Wore Today 5

Another little drawing for the What I Wore Today (in drawings) group on Flickr. As illustrated, I'm a little under the weather after a weekend in Anstruther at the Fence Homegame. I'll hopefully get a post up about that soon along with some snaps from an impromptu trip to Newcastle.

On another topic - I've recently been using Twitter with a lot more frequency than I used to and, without beating about the bush, I'd love some more followers and some more people to follow. If you're down with the twit and would like to keep up to date with my brain, check out my profile here: @davidgalletly.

What I Wore Today 4

Another drawing for the What I Wore Today (in drawings) Flickr group. This one is really quick. I've been drawing a lot recently and, as often happens, everything is getting smaller and tighter - and not necessarily in a good way. The more I draw, the more I tend to pile on the detail and the process can get kinda tedious.

As a result I felt like drawing something a bit silly. Yeah, it's not the best thing I've ever put to paper, but a scribble was called for. Check out that Flickr group for some good stuff by other people.
