On Thursday I went by George square to do a sketch of the occupy Glasgow protest. It was a lot smaller than I first thought it would be for I was sure Glasgow's socialist past would give the demonstration lots of support. As it was I started drawing this on the bench near people on their lunch break eating their sandwiches.
At the time there were loads of press as members of the Glasgow council popped by for a meeting, then oddly a scuffle sparked off when a guy in a suit got upset with something.They gave a short speech where they mentioned they would move soon to the west end.

Cracking good work Mr. Freeborn. I wonder if we should make a day of it - all USK's get out to the closest Occupy near you :) We are the 1% of people who draw every day.
That's a good idea, I'd be up for it.
I love the way you simplify the trees (among other things).
Your compositions are really interesting.
Yes great drawing, great composition.
The lighting gives this picture such energy - but who was the guy on the plinth that the protesters gathered around?
Beautiful drawing with strength and immediacy.
