Let the Wild Rumpus Start!
This week saw the beginning of something magical – the inaugural Bath Children’s Literature Festival was launched and I am here in Bath rubbing shoulders with some the most creative and influential people in the Children’s Literature…business – but wait, I can’t saddle this world with the words ‘industry’ or ‘business’ because it clearly is [...]Ella Dancing

So on Sunday we I took the girls to my friend Alan's studios which is in a converted chapel in a cute village in Nottinghamshire. They had such a great time dancing around, knocking over lights and feeding the goldfish.
We couldn't settle on which outfit she was allowed to take so at the last minute I said "just take them all!" It was so much fun and we captured some great memories. Makes me wish I had a studio of my own!
Alan's website with more of his awesome work is here.

Nightingale

Thou wast not born for death, immortal Bird!
No hungry generations tread thee down;
The voice I hear this passing night was heard
In ancient days by emperor and clown:
Perhaps the self-same song that found a path
Through the sad heart of Ruth, when, sick for home,
She stood in tears amid the alien corn;
The same that oft-times hath
Charm’d magic casements, opening on the foam
Of perilous seas, in faery lands forlorn.
-John Keats

(photo by granville12832) This week i’ve been playing with the idea of the sniper approach to getting stuff done. No, not shooting from a concealed position over longer ranges but knowing what I want, going for it, then getting the hell out. Its about saving time and a cure for trying to look busy. It [...]another tree

This is near my local post office where I sit sometimes after the chaos of sending the mail. I don't usually draw with this fountain pen but its all I had on me. I think I like its thick line.
Beastie Boys

So I am mooching about town on Tuesday and my friend Glyn calls me out of the blue:
Do you want to come and see the Beastie Boys in London? I've got tickets.
Um...Okay.
2 hours and 150 miles later and some shifting of reality I am standing at the front of the Brixton Academy with a big grin on my face and soon Mixmaster Mike is scratching for England. Its better in a mosh pit than it is on the Northern Line in the rush hour.
Here's a typical interview they gave Charlie Rose a week ago.
