Urban Art

Sun, Sea and Spray 2011. Blackpool has brought new life to the town center!
40 Spray artists from 4 continents took part in the event. Although it would have been a little better as a comunity project or to support local artists...
I missed the live event at the weekend, managed to go for a look see today . Here are a few of my favourite.

Storytime

Today I found a new bookshop! Storytellers Inc
Its a cute independant family business that specialises in children's books. I think its my new favourite. Shame its out of town though.

I shall continue to creep around Waterstones although they keep moving the books around...

What's your name?

Maurice and Loretta.

At work, I occasionally talk to customers on the telephone.
As I have an unusual name I often get misheard.


These are two of the best names I've been called this week.

Obviously I had to draw them...

Toucan Time

I got excited about collage and colouring this toucan, after drawing him last week!

Still not quite sure why he reminds me of some bodies grandpa?

Funky Chickens

Farm Yard Rules.

Roosters must impress the hens.

Hens must pretend to be impressed....

Colour is the new black?

I tend to avoid starting on a fresh page with a burst of colour especially 'pink'.
Why not? She's quite an attractive bird... Aye

Also reading up today found this very interesting: http://www.houseofillustration.org.uk/

Birds

I keep drawing slow and disliking what I've done. So here are some quick ink birds. I may develop some of these fellows for a personal project.
