Sad things...

Flying Merguez

We went to Paris for a few days and met our lovely friends Yol and Yann. Merguez sausages at Mamane are the best, I can't remember why Yann said 'Flying Merguez' but it set me off!

Evil lady meets Kuniyoshi

Painted (watercolour and pen) triptych: catfish, octopus and lobster fight. I was really inspired by Kuniyoshi from the early 1800s, so experimented by dropping in my evil lady into his scenes.

People are strange – especially when you are a cucumber

It has been a while, but lunchtime was fun today, making up fruit and veg peeps at the British Museum.

Really it was thanks to a fun activity – pick a word, draw one, pass it on, at the zine fair yesterday. Oh and Alison took a photo of our group Q zine table (talented ladies!), which I'll add here.
