The east end of london

Tuesday; met my old friend James in a groovy cafe in Bethnal Green, we then went for a long walk to Canary Wharf by the side of the canal. Taking pictures and stopping off at various cafes.

 

James is a cartoonist for the Guardian, The economist and The Tablet

My whizzy new folio

This is my new all singing all dancing folio of work, no job too small.

Artists books

 

Found these pictures on an old disk, thought I'd load them up see what happens

The Boy Who Loved Comics

 

Had a really nice day sitting at my drawing board inking pages for yet another kid's book that no one will want. Still it keeps me of the streets.

Birthday treat

My friends Emma and Terry treated me to a day out at the Chelsea v Stoke match. Was treated like Matt Damon all day. Had a great time. This is Rory Delap doing one of his famous throws, sadly it didn't work this time. Chelsea won 2-0.

Went down to Brighton for lunch with my friend Sorrel and to see the band her boy friend manages.
After beans and chorizo stew in Bill's we went for a walk along the beach. I thought this picture looked like a 'Christo'
We had supper in Sam's then to the Hanbury to watch the band.
They're called Husky Rescue and are from Finland. Their sound is very Phillip Glass meets Kate Bush, just my cup of tea. The lead singer is beautiful. As we were on the guest list we went back stage to meet them, they were great and very funny. check out the free music on their site below

Met my friend Sue Foll, the photographer, today and we went to see the Richard Hamilton exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery. I have to say I thought it a rather weak show and a bit repetative. The one piece that made me think was the two maps of the middle east. Still it was free so nothing lost, and they do have a very good bookshop.
