Hi! 

I'm a little bit obsessed with drawing in ink - I love the surprisingly detailed drawings that can be produced with just a ballpoint pen but I'm happy to use any other pen at hand, especially fountain pens.

Ballpoints are awesome because different amounts of pressure can change a line so much but I love the strong lines a fountain pen creates and fountain pens can be so fun to use!

Finding time to draw can often be a challenge - I look after two little people as well as working from home so I often find that I have to manage my time if I want to be able to put pen to paper. 

I also love black & white photography, largely for the same reasons I love drawing in ink. I like exploring texture and tone rather than relying on colour to convey an image.
