These are a couple of drawings from my adventures in Buckinghamshire.

We were briefed to produce a manifesto in groups that outlines the rules and ideals of our alien societies based on the costumes we previously made.
To make things difficult for ourselves, as a group, we decided to remove the context of the human world. So rather than using paper we spent hours dyeing fabric pages and many more hours screenprinting onto them.
Rather than binding the sheets of our manifesto in a traditional fashion, we sewed poppers onto each of the corners of each sheet (front and back) so that it may be arranged as a single spread, as a traditional book or in other alien formats.

Today I went to watch the St Paddy’s day parade and the entertainment in Trafalgar Square. There was an outstanding range of entertainment from drunkards dancing in the fountains to a man licking Guinness off the floor.
A few days early, but for Wednesday, a happy and snake free St Patrick’s day.

Camberwell College of Arts. The place I go.
A drawing I did last year as part of a Christmas present for friends and family.

Today we were given the task of designing and printing a small zine in groups using low-fi reproduction methods in just a few hours. Here is ours.
It was going to fold out into a poster but we ran out of time to finish it. Even so, I’m quite please with it, not least because this is the first zine I’ve been involved with making.

Lost: one small brown sketchbook. Dropped around or in South Kensington tube station. It has some writing on the front and my email address on the back.

I have been up all night drawing hands.
I want to improve at it so I’ll try to fill the sketchbook. I can only draw my left hand because I need my right hand to draw. Hand models apply here.

I went to watch the belated Chinese New Year celebrations today with a few friends around Trafalgar Square and Chinatown. Here are a couple of pages from my sketchbook.

Here is a quick drawing from Rosanna’s lovely evening of music and merriment on a little boat on the bank of the Thames.

Okay, I think I’ve worked out what’s been going wrong with my blogging attempts thus far. They have lacked sense of purpose and have become rather convoluted and inconsistent. So here is the new plan. My drawings will live over here and my adventures will stay over there.
This is a picture of what over here might look like. I hope you’re as excited as I am.
