Handmade and Bound Winter 2010

Hang on, Santa! It's that time of the year again where Christmas markets and festive pop-up shops are sprouting all over the place!

Last Sunday I made my way to the St Alyosius Social Club in Euston for the winter 2010 edition of  Handmade and Bound.

I always look forward to spending time at such events where I can lose track of time perusing interesting self-published books and admire high quality prints. 

Forget about the packed alleys full of eager art and craft enthusiasts! I always arm myself with a great dose of patience and a smile- that usually does the trick! 

 The lovely Karoline Rerrie of the collective "Girls who Draw".


This season's Handmade craft fair was smaller than the one I attended in summer a year ago around Shoreditch... I forget the name of the school.

There was less on display this time around and not much of the edgy comics I remember from last time. There was an anarchy and radical London printers stand and the graphic novel"Diary of a Miscreant" was on sale at the Last Hours table nearby. 

I left with this book, "Revolutionary Women" after I saw Angela Davis was one of the sisters profiled in it. Why not learn more about strong and brave women from very diverse backgrounds and be inspired?!

Updated Sketchbook

I have updated my sketchbook pages with some observational  illustrations. Check it out here

Vampyr

This is a scribble I made while watching the Nosferatu and Vampyr movies back to back during the Halloween week-end. Should have posted them earlier!

Museum Drawings

Some observation drawings at the Hunterian Museum. I love the place for its creepiness!

And one from the Science Museum.  I love to draw big and on different kind of papers- especially the prospectus from the museum itself!

Written Landscape

Image courtesy of Antoine Corbineau

I like Antoine Corbineau's Written Landscapes as I call them and especially this image above. I like the way he combines hand lettering with little naive drawings and textured shapes to create descriptive maps or more imaginary ones. I also think he is a master at colour and a much copied artist.
