UPDATE/CORRECTION

Sadly the St.Bride Event – as publicized at various points of the virtual compass, not least here (see below) – has been postponed until later in 2012, and so the new blog connected to it will thus appear as  the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness wraps its cooling arms around the post-Jubilee, post Olympicballs nation.

Attached here - a fragment from a parallel universe where this image publicized what was a fabulously popular event in mid-June, cracking open the much-misunderstood activity/profession/mindscape of illustration.

NEW THINGS - SOON!

Amidst the final heavy marking period – in my role as 3rd year Tutor at an institution of Higher Learning – I just wanted to say that there will be a new raft of material here shortly.
I will be revealing unseen images connected to the preparatory process for the Living Well With Dementia project featured recently (and also covered in Design Week and Creative Review blogs) and ushering in my role as 'conference illustrator' at an event at St.Bride off Fleet Street entitled 'Making Pictures'.
The latter has just been featured on the Eye magazine blog - take a look at

Incidentally, I will soon be creating a new bouncing baby blog nearby this old war-horse to offer parallel material and host the record I create, in drawn form, from that day.

You have been warned.

The next post will contain a genuine fragment which I have meant to include here for a very long time.

And - while you're waiting - here's a superb speech delivered by a certain Neil Gaiman at the graduation ceremony of a London-based university related to 'the Arts'. It's not far away. . . in The Land of Vimeo
