Nothing to do in Paris

When my mates flew to New York for a classtrip and left me behind, I decided to go to Paris. My then-ex was there too so I thought I would play the smooth criminal as well. Circumstances were perfect.

Well, the picture I drew in the hostel's lavatory sums up my trip perfectly. It was eight o'clock on a Friday night! In Paris, my friend!

Pubnights in Budapest

A sketchbook from the summer of 72. Lots of drunken sailors and even more words of wisdom.

Another lot from Brighton.

Birmingham escape

These are from a sketchbook I did in Birmingham. I had to mediate between a bunch of Hungarian workers and their Chinese boss. In the evening we went out to find a fine british steakhouse but we could only find kebab and curry. Oh, globalisation!

Barcelona Sketchbook 2

Another sketchbook from my trip to BCN. This was done when Tomi Lakos came around.

Barcelona Sketchbook

Another sketchbook I discovered while preparing my new portfolio. These were done in July and August 2007 when I spent a little time in Barcelona to learn spanish and study the ancient art of 'botellon'

Brighton Nostalgia 1.

Now that I've updated my portfolio site - which you can see here - these old sketchbook drawings came down, being too personal to be presented among my commercial illustrations.

However I think they might just be perfect to start this blog. Don't be shy to comment if you recognise yourself.

Michelle is lost in drawing something
(before we went to Cottesmore Elementary to teach a class of 5 year-olds how to do art)
