Sailor shanties.

 This weekend was semi-sunny and my friend from home was in town, so we went to a market I'd never been to in Hackney called Broadway Market. I've been living here for over a year and I'd never been!? I knew a lady who's whoopie book I have has a stall there, so I hunted her stall down and ate a beautiful salted caramel cupcake while drawing a group of 4 (what I presume are ex-sailors) singin jaunty little sea shanties. 

I like to think that they co-ordinated their outfits before the left the house that morning...

Meet Ze Artists in Angouleme, France

 Last weekend, I was lucky enough to go to a tiny village in France, called Angouleme, (the comics capital of Europe apparently). An event was being held there called 'Meet Ze Artists', organised by Tigobo Studios. 

Several artists from the world of animation (alot from Dreamworks) were giving talks on their choosen fields. Including, Sylvain Deboissy, Florian Satzinger, Christophe Lautrette, Arthur Fong, Stephane Chung.
