Description Just something I did the other day to get a drawing out of my system.

My friend was experimenting with making different recycled papers, and offloaded a bunch on to me I'm pretty lucky like that. This one had string embedded in it, which I hadn't seen before so I was immediately drawn to it, and wanted to somehow incorporate the strings into whatever I drew. I kind of ended up hiding them though, lol. Hence the title.

The paper was like concrete to draw on, but it was worth it..for the strings, haha. I've got one or two more so expect another variation of this concept...some day. Actually don't expect it. But don't be surprised by it if it eventuates.

Hope you like!

Aw thankyou Emilie The paper was kind of a bitch to draw on and ruined about 3 pens, but I eventually made it. Lol. How is your radio show going??

The continuation throughout the bars is so schmoove D: Nice - I think that's one of my favourite things about your work - the relainship that it has with the materials. Wickedcool to see ^^

What a cool guy to be!
Seriously, though - your work always smacks of effort which gives all your art a really cool energy - always pushes me towards something a little better

..Note to self** when did I decide that 'relainship' was a word?

Haha, surrounded by paper-makers. Not really, but I'm subtly influencing all my friends down that hobby path, working it into their subconscious, covering them in recycled paper and making papery sounds while they sleep, then removing all traces before they wake up. Oh, and thanks

I bet if I simply put "furry" and "porn" as keywords in my works, they'd get heaps more views haha. Good plan Simon.
