May I present to you my wonderful new trailer for THIS IS BIRMINGHAM, created by the talented animator Graham Lock. So nice to see my pictures moving. Want to start animating again!

Had a couple of very helpful meetings with  Ikon Gallery re this talk on 8 of my favorite things next Wednesday. Feel free to read my latest rant on creativity before you come!

Hopefully it will be an interesting conversation about humanity and creativity and drawing. (If I’m not too terrified)

O yes and apropos of nothing, here are covers to some excellent stories, by a fabulous illustrator, Pauline Baynes, who (besides drawing lots of other things) originally drew all the Narnian books, much better than anyone since. In fact, maybe I should have made her one of my 8 favorite things.
