For the last few months I have been consumed by a myriad of challenges, mostly from training to be an art teacher. For that reason I have been neglecting my artwork, or at least most of my creative output has been for classroom demonstrations and accumulating resources. This isn't such a bad thing because I'm always learning (or re-learning) different skills and techniques, but it can be frustrating when ideas surface and I can't act on them. Recently though I made a bit of time to produce 3 illustrations for the next Lazy Gramophone project: a collection of illustrated stories with themes ranging from childhood to old age, to be published/printed later this year. The story that I've illustrated is by Vincent J Prince and falls in the old age section. The above image is a little taster. Whilst making lesson plans for my year 10 group I stumbled across an interesting artist: http://www.achromatics.com/agallery/?p=home I really want a Polaroid camera... Until next time x

The first (and maybe the last) portrait of an admired film director. Peace X

Getting ready for the move. Came across some old bits and pieces, some strange stuff that I didn't even know existed and a Teletubby that was still so trashed that, well, I just had to put it in the trash. I believe that it was found in this state during a rather interesting evening on the streets of Jericho. Bon voyage!
