The Cowboy Graffiti artist thing is called "Pssshh..." (the sound of a spray can).It's always safer with my pictures to refer to them as "Untitled"!
It's a mixed media picture, comprising of watercolour, ink, paper, watercolour pencil, string, a metal star, and part of a Howick Hall entrance ticket. The idea was that a graffiti artist shoots with words instead of bullets, hence they should dress like cowboys. OK, so it wasn't the most profound idea.

The second is virtually a one line drawing. I do drawings without lifting the pencil off the paper, so the result is one continuous line. When I look closely at this though, I think there's two or three lines. So this is in that style but isn't quite a one line sketch. It's called "Untitled" just for a change, because I can't remember who it was of. Some actress in a magazine I think.
