Chairs makes me fidgety…it’s like all unhinged thoughts falls into my legs and starts a war…Zoom meetings and Ryan Air flights are the worst.

Hi

This week I thought I’d show you some ugly abandoned sketches. The bits that happens in-between the good stuff.

Today I thought we’d talk about FEAR. My biggest fear, apart from something happening to my loved ones, Ebola, quicksand and Rabies, is…

When you look at plants up close and nothing really matters

( in order of as the thought appeared in my head)

Having my nails pulled out with pliers

Falling into a volcano

Fire

The boiling oil in a deep fat fryer

Walking on thin ice

Walking on thick ice thinking it’s probably thin

Ticks

Earwigs

Gutter oil

Being seen

Heights

Slender man ( not the movie but what my niece Hedda showed me on YouTube in 2011)

Caves and any contained space

Drawing tiny and using colour pencils=not brilliant, not sharp

Things I’m a little bit scared of

Being cut in half

Angry loud aggressive people ( and animals)

Electricity in cables

Moths

Space

God(s)

Driving cars and riding in cars

Lockjaw

Drawing same thing over and over again to find colours that work and/or don’t work

I used to be scared of

The dark

Ghosts

Demons

Empty houses

Deep water

Clowns

Ducks Swimming in soup and me trying to use the colour yellow and then painting over every bit of yellow and then abandon ship and later surely drown in pea green …soup.

People who knows me well will probably point out at least 30 things that I’m a lot more scared of than what’s on the lists above. the best way to get over fears is to face them, maybe not Rabies, or being cut in half.

What are you scared of?
