Doodlers Anonymous is a really fun website about ehm well doodling and people who love to doodle. There are interviews, showcases and they've published two colouring books. Recently there was a call for doodlers to submit work for colouring book vol. 3 and here is my entry! It's based on drawings I initially made for a pattern called The Garbage Thief, inspired by William Morris' The Strawberry Thief...

Less then a mile from where I live, on a rather leak strecht of Mare Street in East London, you will the mysteriously named Last Tuesday Society, a fabulous curiosity museum and shop. Two floors are filled to the brim with stuffed animals, exotic objects like shrunken heads and other oddities...

Last evening I had the pleasure of attending a free talk by the makers of Wrap, hosted by YCN in Shoreditch, London. Wrap is one of the most beautiful magazines around. They showcase the best illustrators out there and it’s large size truly let’s them shine...

Last Saturday I went to see The Paper Cinema's latest production Odyssey at the Battersea Arts Centre. It was a bit of a trek, but completely worth it; it was the most amazing performance I'd seen in a long long time. In fact it was so beautiful it made me cry!

A while back I finally got around to putting some shelves up in my studio to display my collection of zines and illustration related magazines. And recently I finally got around to taking a picture of it. I now I'm finally getting around to actually blogging about it!

Things are slowly starting to come together at the new studio. The butt ugly carpet has been ripped out and my roomie and I have painted our space. Big question now is what to do with the bare wooden floor?? While looking online for some inspiration and (low budget) solutions I came across this beautiful floor by Pernille Snedker Hansen, a Danish designer...

Warmest Wishes and Happy Holidays my dear readers! This year I made a card inspired by vintage Christmas cards featuring pets, more specifically cats. I found a lot of these and they are just bizarre...

Last Saturday I went to a dinner party for a friend's birthday. The fact that he was the birthday boy wasn't the only thing that made him the focal point of the evening, his knitted cardigan made him the centre of attention as well! Opinions varied on his - what I would classify as a - Cosby sweater.

Totally inspired by the Grayson Perry exhibition and replenished with tea and a scone from the cafe I started wondering through the rest of the British Museum. It truly is a treasure chest! I went downstairs to the African section first hoping to find out more about the masks I bought in a charity shop recently.

As soon as I set foot on London soil this last Friday, I hurried myself to the British Museum for the Grayson Perry exhibition The Tomb of the Unknown Craftsman. What a joy it was! Perry curated his own show, displaying new as well as older works next to artifacts that he had picked from the British Museum's vast collection (it contains 8 million objects!).
