HOI-polloi portrait evening

Had a nice evening tonight hanging out with other House of Illustration volunteers as part of our collective 'HOI-polloi' - we all drew portraits of each other and I ate all the crisps.

Altered Book 3

My third contribution to a joint project with sisters illustrator Hannah Hunter-Kelm and photographer Ella Dickinson (click their names to see their online portfolios). We've been working on this for nearly a year now, adding artwork, collage and photography to a second hand copy of 'Dream Days' by Kenneth Grahame, with illustrations by Ernest H Shepard. We then post it to each other, and can start new pages, tear pages out and add to each others' work. I'm hoping to scan in the whole book at the end to upload - as the first person in the cycle, my artwork is usually worked into by the others and so it evolves and changes, so it might be interesting to see the book as a whole (and of course to see Hannah and Ella's work too).

People of London

Since I moved to London I have been sneakily taking photos of people that I find particularly interesting - not necessarily attractive people, but people that I can't help looking at. I've started doing some small pieces of work based on the photos that I may develop further. Here's the couple I've done so far (acrylic and pencil):
