city sketches

A few bits and pieces I have been drawing for a map I'm busy creating.  I quite enjoy the black and white stage before the final coat of colour.

I imagine I'll look at the Wills Memorial Building in a new, illuminated way now.

I hope he looks as proud in my drawing as he does in reality.

marvellous madeleines

Bristol has been one big party in the last few weeks (which perhaps accounts a little for my total lack of blog presence...I do apologise).  I think at least half of the population of Somerset must have been at the Harbour Festival last weekend, drinking cider, dangling feet above water, scooting around in little motorised boats, idly dotted across railway tracks, before half-heartedly slipping away at the sight of an approaching steam train.

One of the highlights for me were these delightful little Madeleines that we spotted on a French biscuit stall (I've been wanting to try some ever since I saw Michel Roux Jr cooking up a killer batch on MasterChef last year), enjoyed whilst snooping around a giant Naval boat.

(I love this city, I really do.)

mistaking clouds for mountains

Yesterday I snuck out of the house with Jon to see Andrew Bird and his clever musician friends huddle around a microphone and perform beautiful 'old-timer tunes' in my local record shop.  Front row seats (of the cross-legged on the floor variety.  The best variety).

let justice flow

I've just uploaded some images to my website (currently under construction, so please forgive its slightly unfinished appearance!) of some t-shirt designs that I produced for the lovely people at CAFOD last year for their Let Justice Flow campaign.  I had a lot of fun working on these, so I hope you will like them!

bristol, i love you

BUNT

So glad this is finally finished!  After a few minor disasters in the screen printing realm, I have completed my piece of wooden bunting for Bristol's BUNT exhibition, which will be hosting around seventy of these exciting triangles across four venues (Arnolfini, At-Bristol, Colston Hall & M Shed) from June 9-17.  I've seen some rather spectacular ones, and can't wait to see them all together!
