Learn how to draw the Cutty Sark, which has been fully restored after the terrible fire that seemed to have destroyed it a few years ago. It now stands in Dry Dock, so you can see the her copper bottom and yesterday, the Queen officially re-opened there to the viewing public.
you can find out more at the Cutty Sark Website.
This is a bit of fun – learn how to draw an old-fashioned style retro rocket and send your brave spacemen off to find aliens and brave new worlds! You can get it on a tshirt too!
I was asked to supply a photo for the Wychwood Festival in Cheltenham, that I’m going to be at this year. I typed my name into the Computer search box to find something and these two pictures appeared next to each other (pause as cat enters studio looking for some attention!)
The first is me aged about 6 with a stray cat I found and we adopted called Eeek! and the second is my beautiful Marmadukewho died six years ago ( pause while his sister jumps onto my lap – how did she know what I was writing about?) It was one of my first blog entries and you can see how devastated I was.
The picture of Marmaduke must be around 1999.
Have I mentioned that the Ginger Ninja is now available on iPad? Marmaduke wasn’t the inspiration, but he definitely posed for me once or twice! The camera pose hasn’t changed in a very long time.
