Fox & Wren 2011





This was my best friend's Christmas present for this year.  As part of our workshops we've been given the names Fox and Wren - which I rather like, especially as my friend Rachel has some very foxy hair.

It took me ages to complete, mainly because Rachel started a job at my work and I couldn't do any more lunch time sewing!  At least I managed to finish the most important part, the fox.  The rest of it is a bit scrappy and unfinished but I hope you like it Rachel!  A little something to commemorate our hard year together :)

Time and the Way We Travel


I'm going to be doing The Sketchbook Project!  (Thanks to a certain person for telling me about it!) I got my sketchbook in the post this week all the way from Brooklyn!  I know, I know - this whole project thing sounds a bit gimmicky.  Sometimes in life you just need a bit of gimmicky.  Paying 20 quid for a substandard sketchbook is a fair bit, but I think it'll be a motivating factor in making me fill it up!  I need to have it done by April next year so pleeeeenty of time, right? I chose 'time and the way we travel' for my theme - which really does seem quite apt as in the next year I'm going to be doing a fair bit of travelling, and, oh yeah, I'm going to move country for a year.  But more on that later! Just focussing on getting the next few weeks out of the way first.  Anyone else out there doing the project??

It's been a busy week...



Having soup at the beach with my parents in the rain!  Happy times.


Everyone comes out in the rain it seems...



And Mexican catch ups! This happens every single time we go there!!

Big Old Birthdays...

Turns out my mum's next birthday is her 60th and my dad's next birthday is his 70th - so I've gotta get working on some big presents!!!!!!!  Started on a little something for my mum as hers is coming up first... Only got a sneak peak as I'm pretty sure she's one of maybe three people that read my blog hahaaa :)

Beni Baby!

Spent the last week or so travelling with the Girl on the Pink Bike and friends.  Headed to the Benicassim festival and then onto Valencia too.  I'm not really sure if these pictures will make much sense to the big world out there, but to me these pretty much sum up the trip and most of the weird stuff that happened to us!

Stayed in a beautiful apartment with an amazing view.


Spent most of the daytime doing nothing. 
By which I mean drinking, eating, beaching and generally lazing about.  
Awesomeness.


And at night time the craziness started!

Experimented with ways of sneaking cold alcohol into the festival, and found out just how wasted some of the people were when we got there. 


Nice bit of drawing by the Schmanderson.  Plan B were amazing.


Festival security...

 

Brits abroad definitely know how to complain when a bus gets lost.
Unfortunately, they don't know how to complain in a way that gets results...


I loved the festival atmosphere, bubbles every night.



Cooking code-words. The Girl on the Pink Bike has mad cooking skills.


This seemed to be a catchphrase for the trip.  Kieran has mad disappearing skills.


Eventful bus ride home, we sure know how to make friends. (Get a beard!!) 


The Girl on the Pink Bike and I discovered that we are some sort of delicacy to mosquitoes... argh still itchy!


Pants optional:


One guy using his life guard shirt to maximum effect.


And then back to Valencia for me while everyone else moved on.  Stayed to do some drawing, discovered that if you sit in the same place for more than 20 minutes, Spanish men will talk to you.  






This particular Spanish man being one of the many.  No me gusta!

Going awaaaay!

Going off on my holidays! Rocking it up in Benicassim with some good friends.  See you in 10 days when I should have some more airport drawings (which pop up here every six months or so haha!) pub drawings and hopefully some Something Else drawings too! I'm so excited! No idea what I'm going to be doing for the next few days and I can't wait to find out!!!!!

Holes Sketchbook 2005

Tidying up my stuff, I found a sketchbook from 2005! I forgot just how awesome it is.  I made it all in one night listening to late night XFM and thinking about space... aah those were the days...
