Adibanji is going to have a good weekend as I've just purchased it as well - thanks for the recommendation.

I’ve got one of his books full of sketches too. I got it after doing a workshop at Patchings last year with him. A great character and  very inspirational.  Looking at the book makes you want to pick up a pen or pencil and start sketching straight away!

A great workshop, Christine, by the sound of it. My copy is arriving Wednesday :)

Do you remember Adebanji on here, years and years ago?  Sheer hard work and constant sketching has made him a remarkable artist: I don't have his book (must rectify that right speedily) but I do follow him on whatever medium he's on when I see his name.  What he's got is what many of us (talking about himself again....) haven't got, and that's confidence.  Obviously, he has energy, and a bit of cheek, too - you draw people on public transport if you like, and don't be surprised by an "'Ere, wots your game then?" - but he doesn't fret over his work so far as I can see, he just gets down and does it.   A worthy President of the ROI.

Here is one of Adebanjis sketches of one of his children as a small child. To see more on this site just put his name in   Search on the The gallery and his work will appear .

What impresses me about his sketch book drawings, is the way he fills each page, every one virtually packed with sketches! I have it on good authority that he has a second book coming out very shortly - I’m not sure if it’s a follow up on his first book, or something totally unrelated! I’ll certainly be buying it!
