Illustration for leaving gift

I've just completed this little illustration for a member of the Fun Palaces team. This is the third 'leaving' print present I've designed. The colours are in keeping with the Fun Palaces colours which I used for all the illustrations I drew for them and the portrait is of co-director Sarah-Jane and her beautiful cat Little moon. She was there from the start and I know leaving will be a wrench for her. I really like doing these personal illustrations and hope for many more.

Words YOUNG people don't know anymore

Sozzled - very very drunk

Words YOUNG people don't know anymore

I'm doing a project on the 20 words that are barely known by people under 30 anymore. Sozzled is such a good word!! It can't go - let's bring it back! I'd like to get really sozzled right now... it has rained for days and we are probably going back into lockdown again any minute....

1000 Tiny Fun Palaces

1000 Tiny Fun Palaces

Life isn't going back to normal for a long time - we know that now. Fun Palaces, like many other organisations, have had to adapt quickly. They obviously can't accommodate large gatherings so instead, their weekend in October is going to be about many tiny community-led ones. This is the latest drawing for them which shows people doing that - sharing skills and activities from their front gardens or a balcony; flying kites, playing music, dancing, gardening, sewing etc. They are calling it 1000 Tiny Fun Palaces. I love this idea and I loved illustrating it.
