SAVE OUR SOULS

SAVE OUR SOULS, the site showcasing our class's work in the run-up to our external degree show (oh my god), has gone live and is looking super, largely thanks to the indomitable JORDAN and BRYONY. we're updating the blog a lot so add it to your reader for regular hot camberwell illustration gossip and attractive drawings. aw yeah!!!! there's also a trendy shop so why not TREAT YOURSELF and help us make some $$$$$$$$.

in other news, popular se5 comedienne jenny eclair is definitely stalking me. i was behind her in the queue at the parcel office in camberwell the other week (the name on her slip was JENNY ECLAIR), then the other day i bumped into her coming out of the bauhaus museum in berlin. seriously now, what are the chances of this?

GLAS GO

a poster i put together today for my big bro.

(UNCLE) SAM DOYLE

i managed to make it to the museum of everything before it shut, and i'm glad i did as it was full of nice pictures (and so primrose hill english eccentric right now; i was relaxing in a bit with a contemplative chapel vibe when a banging techno ringtone shattered its peace, the phone's owner a boho octogenarian+ who brayed SHAHHHLEY DAHLING I CAN'T TAWWWK RIGHT NOW I'M IN THE MUSEUM DAHHHLING SHAAHLEY. admittedly this isn't as good an anecdote as the time the minister at my great-uncle's funeral's GIRLS ALOUD ringtone went off in the middle of the service).

i'm still not sure what exactly an outsider artist is though. the saatchi page describes the museum as being for "artists living outside the boundaries of mainstream society" before saying that some were janitors and miners (alongside jailbirds, as if all are roughly equal), which don't sound like occupations outwith the boundaries of mainstream society to me, unless mainstream society is just an urbane elite? i suppose it's related to a perceived lack of self-consciousness, and it's probably that which makes sam doyle's work appeal to me (the most self-conscious boy in the world) so strongly. and i like the colours btw.

NOONE LIKES US WE DON'T CARE

for good measure, a couple more of my own research drawings for my ongoing footie (and fishing) project, the end of which is mercifully in sight.
