Welcome to my drawing blog
I’ve decided to separate out my drawings from my writings, so have set up this blog for drawings. My writing and interiors related blog will continue on http://www.jennygrove.com The first of many drawings to come – one I did several years ago of the Commonwealth Institute in London – now The Design Museum.
