Lulu Allison @luluallison.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I have added some drawings to my web shop. I started these as research for a book I want to write about drawing. Thinking about the value of drawing, it struck me that in terms of literal value, I have sold art but never a drawing. So that too has become part of my research seventysevenseas.co.uk 110
