One thing I absolutely love about art is the licence to break all the rules!!! Experimentation is key and so invigorating.
I worked really hard today…breaking rules (to see what happens) and I must say I’m pretty delighted at the result. (It makes me look).

I’m really chuffed I participated in the 2016 Bookmark XIV project curated by Sarah Bodman. Making a hundred bookmarks and receiving a set of bookmarks made by other artists has just been brilliant!! I will do it all over again in a. beat!
The bookmarks were sent to 10 venues and have been on display since the 23rd September 2016! The venues will display the bookmarks till February 2017! In Iceland, the bookmarks will be on tour to about 40 locations!
What can I say? So inspired by his meticulous preparation!!!

Going to the Serpentine Gallery to see the Alex Katz exhibition was most definitely worth it!!

The House of Illustration at Granary Square was well worth the visit!!!
The exhibition on show is A New Childhood – picture books from Soviet Russia, and it really is an eye opener.
It is hard to put stuff into words when you are overwhelmed…all I can say right now is that I want to takes classes in lithography. I am intrigued by this process…(on a need to know basis). Just seeing so many amazing lithographs has got me gagging for more…how are lithographs created? What is stone lithography? Is that the method the illustrators in Soviet Russia used? What is machine lithography?
Oh…and Quentin Blake!!!…what an inspiration!!! I have nothing to say apart from the fact that for anyone who loves illustration, the House of Illustration, 2 Granary Square, Kings Cross, N1C 4BH is a ‘must visit’.
Even the gift shop is amazeballs…gobsmackingly so! Vintage illustrated books, Neil Gaiman books, Rudyard Kipling books, a Beatrix Potter book illustrated by Quentin Blake, so many books by brilliant illustrators.
