Congratulations Kavita and Gus

My friend Kavita recently announced that she'd got engaged to Gus. They had drinks to celebrate the occasion a few weeks ago, but I hadn't had time to draw them a card. I managed to make up for it a little while later and drew them this card (Kavita is a GP and Gus flies planes)...

Trans-Plantable Living Room

Trans-Plantable Living Room is a living, edible performance space, grown by community gardeners, and will be hosting a number of interactive performances next month, in both Cardiff and London. I was asked by Lisa Woynarski to produce an illustration for a book documenting a performance project that she's working on as part of the Trans-Plantable Living Room.

Lisa sent me an extract from Michael Pollan's book Second Nature to illustrate.

Happy Birthday Anna!

The other week it was my friend Anna's birthday. Here's a card I drew for her...

Happy Birthday Eiko!

A few weeks ago it was my friend Eiko's birthday and she had planned to have a BBQ in the park to celebrate, with fresh seafood bought from Billingsgate Market in the early hours of the morning. In the end the party was relocated indoors because of the weather, and sadly I wasn't able to make it along due to being socially oversubscribed, but I did still draw a birthday card, featuring Eiko and her Catch Of The Day...
