Holland

Just back from a short holiday.

and luckily turned a corner in Utrecht to find it’s where Dick Bruna lives!

and then wandered round a town called Harlem to find a comic book festival,

god how ace is Holland

may have to be my second choice for the world cup.!

I am aware that the world of blogging has been abandoned for a few weeks and I thank Mrs Googly eyes for the reminder, and encouragement ..without further ado off into another blast..

with short break for Glastonbury!

(hope i dont get sued for image but its just a fraction of the ticket and done with love and respect to the little rabbit)

Brillustration (Last Tuesday of the Month)

Hi. Just thought i would publicise a little group that is going in Bristol for Illustrators, bookmakers, children’s authors etc.

A few people who have mentioned they are interested in coming along that can’t find the Facebook site that it is run from… so sorry but the link that was on this page has broken. do try our lovely blog at

there thats better! should  work now.

Brillustration

Do come along and join the Facebook sight and join in if you like.

We don’t do membership, agendas, subs. well pretty much anything structured at all.

What we often do is bring along a picture book. It sort of helps to break the ice.

It is just a place where illustrators and the like can meet have a few beers… or coffees… whatever and remind ourselves we are not the only ones sitting in our spare rooms/studios/bedrooms scribbling away. and it does stop us talking to fluffy pen tops, coconuts with faces painted on them or any other unsuitable inanimate object.

We generally meet in the Tobacco Factory on the last Tuesday of the month but due to some people coming a long way every month we do move venue on occasion..so do check the Facebook page.

If you are a member of the Brillustration page you will be informed if there is a change of venue.

Cheers, Lauren x

John Ward Illustrator.

Now I have officially finished my hundred days.

i thought i would open this out to a few of my obsessions.

1960′s illustrators for one.

The balance of linework and two colour printing…

John Ward is one of the masters of line.

Gerald Rose Illustrator

Great illustrator.

but all his books seem to have gone out of print .

would dearly love to get hold of a copy of THE GREAT JELLY OF LONDON.

sadly I cant find any larger images.
