I have finally got around to setting up access to all of my sketchbooks online, it will, for sure make life so much easier not only to cross reference but also to go back in time and look at the ideas that I was having at a different time and place, other than my not having any specific reason before I now find that I have to load at least one on line in order that those following the progress of the onemillionproject are able to access and view my research sources and ideas, particular those who will eventually fund the project.
For me this is just so important and for the life of me cannot understand why I had never considered keeping a sketch book other than the fact that travelling from one place to another, boat, plane, train, even bike and rickshaw, for sure they would have been lost anyways.
Now, as a professional artist they are not only invaluable as a source of personal reference but irreplaceable, anyway, it will take me some time to load them all on the internet, it is 2 am now and I have only just finished fotographing the first of two from 2007/8, having now been up for almost 47 hours on the trot I really should be considering getting some sleep however the fact is that I am just not tired anymore, life is too exciting at the moment and, even when the lids are beginning to start to feel heavy another rush of adrenaline takes me through the phase and I am off again.
Back to the sketchbooks. I am taking the quickest route I have at the moment and that is simply to create another 3 blogs, I tried placing them onto the onemillionproject site
http://onemillionproject.synthasite.com/ however it made the download speed so slow I abandoned the idea. as I said, it will take time to load all of the images and even then I have no idea how it will all pan out in the end so, Godwilling, here goes!
