Another picture from the Pompidou Centre, this time at the Eileen Gray exhibition. I didn’t check out this show but took a bit of time to relax on the sofas. I really struggled with enjoying the artwork, like so many tourists I was really aware of walking past all the exhibits and not really taking [...]

I thought it could be a good idea to show some on site drawings while I was there. They’re all fairly quickly done generally about 20 minutes or so. Outside Shakespeare and Company, the queue was pretty big so waited to the next day to get in. Getting the bus from Beauvais to Paris Sitting [...]

Looking up from the metro seeing these rooftops, fell in love with the Parisian rooftops. I see now why Fabrice Moireau did a whole book of illustrations. Postcard no.05 off to Northern Ireland.

If you fancy getting involved and doing an illustrated postcard exchange for some original artwork. I’ve just made these by cutting a postcard size piece of paper [...]

On Monday I visited Piece on Argyle street, I used to go here all the time when I worked nearby so it was good to see the place again. So many sandwich places usually have ingredients you point at so you can sometimes end up with a muddle of a lunch. These guys have taken [...]

A couple of years ago in October 2010 I worked as a drawer on Alasdair Gray’s mural for Hillhead underground. The final unveiling of the mural was last September its taken me a while to find the time to get round to putting this all together. Here is Alasdair giving his opening speech before lots [...]
