Drawing board

I found a load of old drawing boards and thought that they would make an interesting base for a painting, my thinking being I normally make loads of marks and drawings that get lost in the layering process so by using old drawing boards covered in marks this would lessen the amount of work for me, suffice to say this was not the case. Working with marks that weren't my own proved a bit of a challenge and I ended up covering alomost all of them with my own imagery, lots of imagery, so much that I buggered my wrist. All worth it though as I'm pretty happy with the results, but would I do it again? probably not.
