top hat, jelly lips
did some more drawing in the Scottish Design Exchange this afternoon – old “top hat, jelly lips” which materialised from nowhere? the subconscious is a wonderful place.
didn’t manage to finish the hat though 😦
pigs might fly

blizzard let down
was so looking forward to the full version of StarCraft 2 but Blizzard seem unable to get their servers or client download to work – 3 days of pain, Blizzard and the game still do not work. #hugeletdownblizzard.
my advice is unless you WANT to waste hours waiting on downloads that don’t work or you enjoy having to completely change your machines settings so nothing else runs then go for Blizzard games otherwise get a xbox or playstation – at least those games work.
winter coats for the homeless
what a great idea and am about to dig out some old coats and see what Jay has left in her room. hats off (coats off) to Andrea Lisa Robson, from Sunderland, who first came up with the idea and posted it on facebook – https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153342700464150&set=o.155734271426&type=3&permPage=1

did some live drawing in the Scottish Design Exchange at Ocean Terminal today with two other the talented artists – Seán Casey and Anna Sztromwasser
Anna is looking for a Publisher to help get her wonderful illustrations out into the wider world, with a style that is perfect for kids books – talent and beauty – I look forward to reading her first book soon.
