Oh noo telephone pictionary
Oh dear I started playing online telephone pictionary again, as you can see it is a great use of my time, really advancing my skills and refining my visual language, whilst helping me develop a thesis for my dissertation.
ROAR! Said the angry mastermind duck, and all the other animals were terrified by this well thought out phrase:
You can see the full strip if you like. The only thing is I think most people on the site are American – do they have Mastermind there?
Should I deliver this box? or go dancing? or even swimming?
Parrot-head is done
Well not really done as in finished, but I handed the prints and a dummy book in for marking. I’ll put a couple more prints on the Persons page. I think a smidgen of winter might be appropriate some time soon, so here is a print showing the seasonal weather which currently we do not have:
I also made some bags with birds and yo-yos or monsters on, to raise money for our stand at the Bologna bookfair. Don’t really know what to do for my next thing, I will need a New Plan.
The Girl with the Parrot on her Head
This term I have been mostly screen printing my head off on the kitchen table, learning many things (here’s an earlier version of this one) but not paying too much attention to the story of The Girl with the Parrot on her Head, which is a bit of a mess. I best get on that now.
Postcards for Japan – exhibition
Some people from my MA course (including ME), and also some Famous Children’s Illustrators, are having an exhibition of original postcard-sized art in Cambridge the week after next (5th-11th ofSeptember). The postcards will be sold to raise money for Teachers for Japan, a charity set up by teachers after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami to help children in Miyagi prefecture stay in school, and to rebuild damaged schools.
So if you are in or near Cambridge and innerested, go see. If innerested but in or near impossibly elsewhere, go see some of the postcards on the exhibition site. It’s all anonymous but maybe you can recognise my two. This most excellent poster is by Jemima Sharpe who is in my class – how good are those mice?
