Daily Drawing Diary


© Rob Pepper

Rob is known for his "Conscious Reflex Drawing". This is about drawing without judgement. He doesn't look at his hand when the pen touches the paper. His focus is on the object /situation before him. This way of drawing "thereby create images that are truly reflective of that moment, recorded in an open and honest way that avoids the revision of the critical eye."

We met couple of years back in London. Since then we have been talking about working together and looks like finally we are coming closer to that. What he started as a visual artist's response to the growing number of 'text-heavy' blogs has now become an artwork on its own. Check out Rob's Daily drawing diary.

Recommended by The Guardian, (Visual artist Rob Pepper puts up a picture a day on his blog. Curiously, Rob draws without making eye contact with the paper. The results are rather lovely), BBC and The Times, Rob's Daily drawing diary has slowly grown into a conversational space for collaborative artwork. He has been successfully publishing a -limited edition- compendium- of his daily drawings. Available at Tate Modern, this is an absolute collectors delight!

In the Feb 2006 edition of the compendium, Rob had his version of Nila as well :
