Week 20

Day 134



Day 135



Day 137 - Will started this painting either very early on in me knowing him or maybe even before I met him and he never finished it but I've always loved it as it is so it's on my studio wall.



Day 138 - Inking a little comic about how I was a complete mess and then I got a care package from my parents full of toiletries so I could be clean and lovely again.



Day 139



Day 140 and also Week 20 of 52 - This is my 'I haven't taken a 52 weeks photo, I can't be bothered, blah blah blah in general at everything' face.

Norfolk and Norwich Festival ~ Bone Yard Tales

Bone Yard Tales by Rag and Bone. This was really cool. They were riding around on these huge sculptures on wheels all made out of junk, in and around the crowd reciting poetry about junk and throwing things out and then they had to fight the beast. There was a guy next to the guy in the top photo playing drums that were pots and pans and all sorts of other things. It was awesome.

Week 19

Day 127 - Bedtime reading. The Book of Tea by Kakuzo Okakura. (So good.)



Day 128 - Painting sunflowers.



Day 130 - Packing a Baku for his journey to Cambridge.



Day 131



Day 132 - These guys are available in my etsy and folksy now. (They'll be in The Craft Room too)



Day 133 - A small section of our comics shelf.

Norfolk & Norwich Festival ~ Faust

It's Norfolk and Norwich Festival time of year and on Saturday I had my first venture into the events with Faust by Bad Taste Cru. It was pretty awesome. The photos don't do it justice, not just because you can't see the movement of the dancers but also because the music was so good (and loud) it really helped tell the story and set up the atmosphere.

I'm planning to see as much of the free stuff as possible. Free stuff is awesome.

A Day in Yarmouth Pt7 ~ Instax

To end the Yarmouth photos here are the instax photos I took.

Incase you're interested it's a Fujifilm Instax Mini and the film expired May 2012.

You can find the rest of the Yarmouth posts here: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Recent Makes/Illustration ~ Miniature Sunflowers

Will has a workshop this weekend teaching a miniatures club to paint a tiny van Gogh (they're a group of people that make all sorts of miniature things, dollhouses, garden scenes, rooms in books, it sounds amazing, some people knit with sewing needles!!! ). He did one last year and they did a Vermeer. He decided, to my delight, that it'd be a good idea to try it out with me so he could plan the process before hand.



I don't use acrylic. Acrylic and me don't get on unless I'm smothering a piece of paper with a load of paint for a mass of colour, so I didn't have high hopes for my mini painting but I'm really pleased with it. Will teaches good.

Not the best photo, but for the sake of scale:

A Day in Yarmouth Pt6

Yarmouth has some pretty good signage (except for this one, this one makes me cringe every time I see the photo.)

(Part 1 here, Part 2 here, Part 3 here, Part 4 here and Part 5 here.)

A Day in Yarmouth Pt5

I really hope they never take down the Horlicks sign. I love it. What a thing to advertise. I wonder if anyone ever walked past and thought "oh my god wow, Horlicks! I'll have to go in and get a Horlicks."
Or even better if it actually means Horlicks flavoured milkshakes.

(Part 1 here, Part 2 here, Part 3 here and Part 4 here.)

A Day in Yarmouth Pt4

When you go to Yarmouth you have to eat fresh donuts and go in the arcades. It's the actual law.
A new law is to draw on beach pebbles and leave them there.
