Illustration ~ History Dream Team

I'd been thinking about this illustration for ages and finally here it is, watercolour and line work.
Oh how I love these ladies.
I often think about them doing a programme together where Janina Ramirez gets excited about manuscripts while Lucy Worsley randomly rocks up in period costume like it's totally normal and then they teach us all loads of history.
Awesome.

While I'm here I'd like you to take the time to go sign this petition. It's about the government allowing businesses to use images however they like without permission from the creator. This is bad. Have a look at this blog post on Oh Deer because they talk about it better than me and please please please sign the petition and pass it around too. Thank you.

A Day in Yarmouth Pt2

Skimming stones, watching instant film develop, mermaid's purse, creepy donut faces (also Will's new favourite thing), cool signage.

A Day in Yarmouth Pt1

For our 7th anniversary Will and myself spent the day in Great Yarmouth sitting on the beach, wandering around the arcades and eating donuts.

We also hung out under the boardwalk, down by the sea...

I took lots of photos so I've split them into a few separate posts. More to come...

Sketchbook ~ The One With Poorly Suited Paper

This sketchbook didn't have good paper for me but I just had to fill it up before I could move on to a new one because I have problems like that.
I decided to spend an afternoon recently filling it up, drawing from magazines and instagram and here are some of those pages.
Now I can use my nice new sketchbook with it's white, smooth, just the right thickness paper. Yay!

The Meadow and Discounts

The weather has gone wrong again today but on Wednesday it was let's go for a walk round the meadow weather which is always good.

The moss in the second photo felt so good. I want a rug made of it.
That last photo includes Will's manky running shoe manky from when he started running in the meadow while it was basically a marsh. Manky.

Clutter City Spring 2013

Best. Market. Ever.

We had a great day. It was really busy the whole time, we sold lots of stuff and got some really interesting comments from people even if they weren't buying things which is always good.

Excuse the blur, it was pretty dark in there and using my camera in the dark is still a mystery to me.
