White walled gallery and white tile floor. A woman wearing a patterned white t-shirt and black pants is sitting on a wooden bench in front of a drawing by Leith Semmens.

The latest engineering pen and ink drawing is complete. Carrickalinga 2025. It was previewed in Yankalilla, and the feedback was exceptionally positive.

Leith's fingers and hand in a grey woven glove. The finger covers have been roughly cut in half to allow finger tip feeling.

Nothing says high fashion like working in a studio at 7 degrees temperature.

A little more detail from my new drawing "Circle of Life". Each circle represents a neuron. The image will be more descriptive when finished, but essentially, it will show neuron activity and EEGs.

Large white piece of paper with random black ink brush strokes.

I started the general loosey goosey ink layout for the next drawing. Due to its size, it needs to be laid out on the ground. While drying in the sun, Bailey kindly chose to be part of the process. Just a little walk, then lie down...

The beginnings of a new drawing. It won't be all that big, only about 1.5 metres by 2 metres. Trying the introduction of origami. So when completed, it will need to be unfurled and folded to reveal the full image.

Drawing about 4 metres by 1.5 metres, millions of tiny hand-drawn circles, about 1 millimetre each.

Finally finished. This 6-metre drawing comprises millions of hand-drawn circles, less than a millimetre each. The details are about 30 centimetres square.

The drawing table used by Leith. Three large photography lights with defusers shine upon the surface. Part, about 1 metre square, of an abstract and detailed drawing is visible. A further 6 metres is rolled under the table surface. The drawing is partially protected by plastic.

My 6 metre drawing is nearing completion. However, only about 70cm is visible here, protected by plastic. #inkdrawing #contemporarydrawing #artiststudio #queerart #abstractart

A further option is to contact the police. There are significant penalties for photographing kids in some circumstances. But contact the Electoral Commission and place a formal complaint.. Don't contact the candidate as they will gain your name and address from the electoral roll.
