This is my latest experiment - drawing from life on my snazzy new specifically acquired mobile phone. Bear in mind, all these drawings were done on the touch screen of my phone which is roughly the size of an average business card, with a stylus. You can see my first initial experiments, people at bus stops, on buses, trains and some drawings from the birthday gig at the Mill in Edinburgh with Found(Who will be playing my expo opening on Wednesday 14th October), The Ads(Now 'Aerials Up'), Come in Tokyo (Drummer left the band that night), and OK Social Club(my first ever mobile gig drawing!).

A lot of potential!! Next Monday I'm going to try out drawing and projecting images (from my mobile phone!!) during Eid on the Drive, a huge celebration at the Tramway, Glasgow for the end of Ramadan, a project also tied in with the Pardesi Heroes project I'm working on for Basharat Khan.

These are amazing! I can't imagine how you can draw them on something as small as the size of a business card. The old lady at the bus stop is my favourite, somehow you can imagine her character without seeing her face, just from the way she's dressed and her stance.

Hello Jenny!

I was looking for other people that are also drawing on their phone and thanks to google and its magic, I end up on your blog!

Your way to draw and paint is really cool! I like it a lot! And I'm very impressed by the level of details you manage to have with your phone! waw!

If you don't mind, I'd like to chat with you once to know a bit more about your inspirations and the app you use,...

So, if you agree, you can reply to this comment or let a comment on my blog (http://phonedrawing.blogspot.com/)
that would make my day (or even my week) for sure ;-)

[and I hope you will forgive the english mistakes if any]
