Weekly drawing 60: Yellowtail kingfish

I now draw where ever I can. This was drawn while looking after my daughter at the playground. Chalk has become a great new way to mix parenting and art. Plus lots of kids enjoy joining in and drawing something themselves, which is fun.

Weekly drawing 59: Vercingetorix

52 BC, Vercingetorix lead Gaul's most significant revolt against the Roman occupation of Gaul (France). Unfortunately most of what was recorded of him historically was written by his Roman enemy Julius Caesar. Personally I prefer Rene Goscinny's account of events.

Being a creative parent can be hard to find time to create while caring for a baby. 

But lately I've had some really golden moments drawing with children. 

Which is a great way for us all to have fun and I get still get to create. 

The next two photos are of chalk drawings I did with Libby and other play friends at Jarvie Park in Marrickville.

 Libby and a friend added the details such as spots and the thing that looks like a 

choker necklace, I was told this is actually a trampoline. Which I find oddly amusing.
