Why is it that these black and white drawings, modest in size and executed very quickly under the stress of deadlines of a few hours, give me such a thrill? Is it the adrenaline rush that accompanies assignments like this? With so little time I can't do any research, so I need to wring these images right out of my imagination. Afterwards, I feel like I've run the equivalent of a mental marathon, and ache for a glass of wine and a hot bath - not always possible with a family of three children and the clock approaching dinnertime!
