Dr Sketchy, Birmingham, Diva Hollywood, a burlesque fairy with attitude

 A couple of weeks back, I attended Birmingham's second ever Dr Sketchy event, hosted by photographer Candee Handful. Above is a sketch of the the fabulous Ms. Diva Hollywood.

Illustration Friday 'Resolve'

 

In this sketch, my two antagonistic sisters, determined to resolve their disputes, get rat arsed on Wychwood Green Goblin oak aged cider.  Peace one minute, concussion the next.  For a brief but beautiful moment, everything in the world feels ok. 

Happy New 2009. Be kind to yourself.

Illustration Friday, 'Clandestine.'

Dear Illustration Friday creatives,

Did your thighs grow exponentially this season? Mine did. 

Enjoy.

Best wishes,

Rambunctious: never used the word before, never knew what it meant, opened the dictionary, closed the dictionary, forgot whether it was an adjective, discovered it was an adjective then ceased to remember the meaning of the word, so I opened the synonym finder, then closed the synonym finder, thought for a bit, wrote down the word but clueless how to spell it, so I looked out the window to see if it was snowing, there was no snow, searched for the moon but I couldn't find it. Typed the word up on my image (in Photoshop), saved the image, uploaded the image onto blogger. Sat back, took pride, then discovered the typo. Abandoned the project.
