Hello! Hope my fellow UK-ers are keeping cool at the moment. The longed-for sunny weather is here and I’m immediately wilting and useless.
My dog Rusty is sitting around manifesting my own feelings, panting and looking restless and cross. He’s just turned 7, so perhaps he’s having a midlife crisis as well.
In a couple of weeks I’ll be taking part in an exhibition called “Nature”, put on by my friend Sharon King-Chai. If you are able to get to Archway during the week of 9-14 June do stop into The Gallery at The Playroom - I think it’s going to be a super show.
Thinking what to do for “Nature” took me a while. I thought of revisiting my Hidden Planet comic idea from 2019…
Which feels topical for Sir David’s centenary! I also considered nature/naturism…
But this is a family-friendly show! So I’ve done a picture about dinosaurs, and will look forward to showing that - here’s a section…
On the final day of the exhibition, I’m running an hour-long workshop for children, with all proceeds going to Booktrust - the UK’s largest children’s reading charity. I will write more about Booktrust in another post, but if you have any children keen to do some drawing that Sunday 14th June, please send me an email!
My friend Nick has just turned 50, and requested three Star Wars posters - three turned out to be too ambitious, but one was manageable! Although I would really have liked to get to grips with Jabba… here it is, and please avert your eyes from poor old Chewbacca :((((
I guess that’s it for now. I’m back at pottery, so look out for photos of more badly formed “vessels”! See you soon!
This post had all of my favorite things! Sunlight, David Attenborough, billepedes, Star Wars, comics workshops and and loads of nudity!
Somehow that naturist cartoon is the funnest I've ever seen in the genre. Are they playing hide and seek? Also laughed at the Full Moon.
