In my sketchbook, I am doing a series of pen and wash portraits of Science Fiction writers. This will link with a set of paintings based on Science Fiction stories.
I have been thinking about the meaning of pictures - why choose a subject? So, I think, I have to lean towards subjects that are embedded in my life (that I feel a close connection with, over the multitude of other things I could choose).

Ideally, this illustration of a science fiction story should be from a Ballard story, but it is Ray Bradbury. Still, it is good to put 'portrait of a science fiction writer' with a picture inspired by my reading of the genre.
I begin to see how this project could go.
There are so many things to draw and paint - how to get to the subjects closest to the heart? I know this is one of those for me.
