Justin's Sketchbook - Characters from the Unknown
































If you are somehow hungry for more of these sketches, there’s a slide show gallery with original music called “Beautiful Freaks” in the debris of myspace somewhere. Here’s a direct link:

It has been described (by me) as:
A 16-minute virtual gallery tour of surreal and existential sketches, driven by a broody, atmospheric soundtrack. Sketches were taken from margins of Uni notes, or quick 2-5 minute scribbles while waiting for computer at work to process something, or larger coloured chalk pieces done at home. Music used is "Lullaby" - a 4-track improvisation using keyboard, vocals and effects and "Event Horizon" - a single take Virtual Instrument keyboard ambient meandering.

Somehow the broodiness of the music combined with the carefully matched placement of the images made them both seem darker than I intended, or realised.

You may need a hug afterwards is all I’m saying…
