In The City

Sometimes it makes me laugh that Norwich is a city. It's so much just some buildings in the countryside.
I took these photos yesterday while we were out doing our city projects for The Anti-Social Club. That's what Will is doing in that second photo, you can see what he was up to here on his blog.

The Anti-Social Club ~ City

Priority Moments has a free coffee on Fridays at the minute so I thought for this weeks Anti-Social Club theme of city I'd have my free coffee in the city and do some drawing while I was there. It turned out to be a slightly headachey afternoon so I didn't draw as much as I was planning but here is my sketchbook page. I couldn't actually see the people so I tried to guess what they looked like.

Whites and Yellows

A few more snaps from my wander the other day. There's so much to see out there at the moment.



I can't get over this flower. It looks like some sort of mutation but there were loads of them all like it so I figure that's just what they're like.

What My Phone Saw ~ May

The coolest car park (I know of) in Norwich.



Norwich gives you words of encouragement.



Pretty colour combinations to be found, even on dirty takeaway shops.



Courtesan au chocolat // Teasing Pretty Cat.



Flowers and bricks  ^_^



The People's Tower // Enjoying the weather



Picking flowers after voting // Looking up in Norwich

Polyommatus Icarus

On Monday I went out for a stroll expecting to just have a quick wander and then get on with some more work but I ended up taking lots of photos and thought I'd spread some of them across a few posts. I was surprised to find these little mushrooms because I always think of mushrooms as being autumnal (even though I know they aren't) but also that the cows hadn't stomped them.



Even the grass over at the meadow is pretty at the moment.



I was pretty impressed by this fella. I just looked him up and apparently he's a Common Blue, the most common blue butterfly in the British Isles but I was surprised to see him and thought he was worth chasing around for a photo anyway. The title of this post is his fancy name. Not that I know what it means, maybe that's just Latin for common or something but it seems fancy to me.

Painty Painty

There's just something about paint...

May

I thought this aloe vera plant was dying but then it started sprouting like crazy. It's got new leaves popping out all over the place now.



I always get an odd amount of joy from cuts and bruises. On myself anyway.



Norwich was looking pretty fancy this month.



This fella went off to Manchester the other day. I love drawing on envelopes.

It totally feels too soon to be June but also the start of May seems like a long time ago.

Other things in May:
I made my version of a Courtesan Au Chocolat, after it seeming like a long time wanting to and it turned out just as I wanted.
Will made himself a blog and also had some designs put up on this temporary tattoo website.
Radeko makes art by taking molds of her vagina and then decorating it in various ways. She's so inventive with it, it's really cool. "Don't be angry. Vagina is just a word." Plus, I think we can all agree a vagina bed would be really comfy.
The Anti-Social Club started with it's weekly creative briefs. My entries are here.
I managed to blog every day. The last day I didn't post anything was the 24th April so I'm pretty proud of myself. Not that blogging every day is particularly important to me, it's just good to know I'm doing something.
A couple of things I wish I'd bought this month, these two zines 1 // 2 and this print, the whole shop is pretty cute actually.

Here I come June. You'd better be awesome.
