London Calling

 Number 3 in the series of scenes about town. A few months back I walked past this bar and saw two fed-up looking women at one of the outside tables. The bar is called London Calling, so I thought maybe London was calling to them, calling them to be elsewhere. Now that's way too subtle an idea to get over in a small print, so I thought I'd just do it straight, as it were and see how it comes out.

So here it is. The architecture is somewhat edited, but that's art isn't it? And the two women here were sitting in our garden, but they work.

A couple more cards

 I was at an event in the local park yesterday, so I did a reprint of some of the cards that were running low. While I was at it I did the Rugby Player from ArtPages No1 and Sophie Pointing from ArtPages No 2 as cards, too. I thought they were both strong enough images, so if you need a card for a more roughty-toughty relative, here they are. And it also makes it true that all the ArtPages images are from elsewhere. If a little post-dated.

Artpages Zine No2

 I just had to do another one. It'll probably be a while before the next. I thought I had all the old blocks I needed for relevant pictures for War and Peace - I aimed to use the Amelia picture with some other variant of Your Country Needs You, but I can't remember where I put the block. Then Sophie Cunningham caught my eye and I thought I'd redo the Kitchener poster with her instead. THEN I went life drawing again and one of the things we did was to cut quick silhouettes of the model out of coloured paper. So that decided me on the classic side view of Sophie with her quote about not taking notice of internet hate, cuz she is, after all, the new Yogi Berra. And the Sports Page is restored to sports. 

Also because I've been reading the Aeneid lately, a good Latin quote from Virgil seemed right.
