"Modern Warfare". A B5-sized liner pen drawing. © Brian Benson 1994 I made this scan a while back; although the resolution is sufficient for cards, I'll need to make a bigger scan for larger products. N.B.

I've been scanning some old drawings on postcards recently. These are mostly from the 90s. I used to carry a pack of postcards in my pocket, to draw on whereever I happened to be_ The Cornrehouse Cafe, The Ritz, The Salisbury, my own living room...
I've gone some way towards cleaning them up and hace cloned out a lot of blemishes. They're still pretty grotty around the edges and particularly at the corners, probably from being kept in a plastic bag for years. Unfortunately, the ink on some of my postcards is showing signs of having faded a little.

I'm gradually scanning the contents of a notebook that I carried around with me when I was working delivering leaflets door-to-door. This was done with a quite reflective ink and I was curious to see how it would turn out under the scanner. It's not too bad considering. Approximately B5. I've called it 'In suspension', for want of a better name.

I've been a bit quiet for a while, so here is a scan I made, recently, of a drawing from around 2005, which was done with a leaky metallic ink pen on A4-size black card, The scan is all right in its way, but doesn't do justice to the way the reflective gold ink of the original appears under light coming from different angles.
There's no title for it as yet.
