Hurrah.., but Tech grump

Am now scannered up again. Which is very satisfying.

First test scan..

Liked his haircut. very short at the sides and all scruffy chaos on top. Is that a valid instruction to my barber next time I go ? What do you think I would come out with ?

Anyway... Tech grump...

Have spent the entire day getting the lovely new scanner/printer to do what it says on the box. ( i,e, scan and print instead of just sitting like a shiny black monolith - me being the 2001 ape waving his bone in frustration ) Turns out the scanner driver they supply isn't supported by Mac OS X, and you have to go to the Epson site and download a different one, ( they don't tell you this on the help site, I had to work that out myself ) which the Mac then refuses to open because Epson isn't a 'recognised' site and you have to sneak it in by the back door, so to speak.

Anyway now have printer running on WiFi, but scanner still needs USB. I will tackle that tomorrow.

But happy to be fully operational.

2014

Have an amazing 2014 everyone.

goodbye 2013

Okay.

Already have 1 resolution. To post more in 2014.

Been a bit lax this year, completely failed on my 2013 sketching project. And then the scanner refused to accept electricity as a power source which hampered the process even more.

Too many other things went on go slow this year as well, most probably my own fault.

So shaking off this year like a heavy old army coat that needs a damn good wash.

New coat tomorrow.

Something lightweight and waterproof and ready for adventure.

Have a big old night tonight everyone.

Failure to post...

... due to kaput scanner again.

Interesting

A friend sent me the link to this.

Excited by the drawing done at 2 hour 35 mins when he decides to draw the whole thing in one line. A goal after my own heart that.

Worried that I may have to start taking class A drugs now.

Not a direction I had considered for myself.

life and nothing but.

Still pushing on with life drawing.

Good models this week. Not sure I am progressing at all, but keep on keeping on.

Did some quick one line sketches but when I scan or photograph them they disappear.

So you will just have to imagine them.

Not the best

But it is all I have to offer at the moment.

From a life drawing session the other day.

And, just to clarify, he is holding a broom handle.
