Armistice Day

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
      Between the crosses, row on row,
   That mark our place; and in the sky
   The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
   Loved and were loved, and now we lie
         In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
   The torch; be yours to hold it high.
   If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
         In Flanders fields.

Some more The Drowned Man sketches!

I thought I'd do a few more sketches as someone has organised a reunion party for fans of the show! There's going to be a projection or prints of peoples artwork inspired from the show, so I happily offered to have the ones I've done shown, in the meantime I thought I'd do a few more!
Here's some first rough sketches! Those of you that've been you'll have to let me know if you can guess which performers were my characters! :D

London Vintage Wedding Fayre!

Yesterday me and Amberin had a stall at The Vintage Wedding Fayre at the Camden Centre displaying wedding stationery (Crimson Moonshine)

We were next door to a florist called Ivy, Pip and Rose who had such a gorgeous display and at the end gave us a couple of bouquets to take home! Wonderful!!

and the lady behind us who is The House of Vintage Weddings & Accessories got me to try on one of her dresses. Who knew cardys look good with a gown?!

It was a fun day! Lovely to see reactions to our designs. We'll be at the Vintage Wedding Fayre in Bath, 16th November next :)

Les Enfants Terribles The Trench

Went to see The Trench at Greenwich Theatre last night and it was such a beautiful lyrical piece of poetry and incredibly moving and horrible all at once! The puppets in it were spine shudderingly frightening! Especially the beast that appears to Bert when he's trapped in a tunnel. The beast I learnt is called Gary. So here's a quick doodle of him!

The dressing up box...

Jolly Postman doodle!

Butternut Squashes off the allotment!

So proud of my squashes! Then my friend Elli said how she draws faces on them and my other friend Clara said how this would make it so much harder to eat them! Ha!!

So then I had to doodle!

@Daily__Doodle Flat Stanley!

Oddly enough Flat Stanley's on at Polka Theatre here in Wimbledon for the next 2 weeks! :)

Best dressing up so far...

There's a dressing up box at Polka Theatre, and this has been my fave combination so far.

They Draw Horses Don't They? Exhibition!

I was a winner of a competition set by Inky Solutions a Brighton based printers to win 500 postcards and all you had to do was enter a picture (or as many as you liked!) of a horse you've drawn. I really wanted to win them postcards for promos to send to publishers and went to town drumming up support!
 Steve the chap behind Inky Solutions then set in motion putting together an exhibition of all the entries and it all came together last night. Unfortunately I didn't make it til late, but manage to meet Lydia Monks and Guy Parker Rees and my old Southampton Uni chum Shelley!
 There's now an online shop where you can buy merchandise from the evening too!
Was so lovely to meet Steve whose been behind it all and catch up with Shelley and meet two illustrators I also look up too off the old twitter! :)

(see if you can spot my horse!)

Lydia Monks lovely Unicorn 

Shelley Wilsons gorgeous Zebra

Guy Parker-Rees' dancing ones!

And this cute number by Amy Rogers :)

And yours truly! 

Grandad Me and Teddy Too sketches!

Sat in on the first show of Grandad, Me and Teddy Too by Sarah Argent at work yesterday, and doodled these whilst  I had some down time whilst the workshops were on in the evening at Polka!
