<br />
I'll have copies of my new handmade book 'Anoushka and the Baba Yaga' for sale, with some of the original artworks on display... more details to be posted tomorrow :)<br />
<br />
As for my doodle below, isn't it wonderful what you can do with the envelopes ugly old bills come in? :)<br />

She's a Grandmother Witch of wonderfully eccentric and barbarous proportions. It's not enough that she should live in a skull-guarded hut in the woods, her hut has <i><b>chicken legs</b></i>. Yes, chicken legs. Sure why not? When she's not whizzing about in her mortar and pestle she can let her house do the manoeuvering. <br />
<br />
I'm also trying to explore new media and techniques. For this one, I made a number of monoprints and acrylic washes and then cut and collaged them into place. I find it interesting how the media you use shape your approach to a particular illustration. Had I drawn this I'm sure it would have ended up completely different and probably not so graphically strong. It's a bit of a departure for me, but I really want to explore this approach further, in parallel with my first love... plain old pen and ink drawing :)<br />

Dicken's <span style="font-style: italic;">Fishbone</span> is a sweet story, which draws heavily on long-established fairytales for it's main plotline (the little Duchess character playing a very similar role to the little doll in the Russian fairytale 'Vasilissa the Beautiful').<br /><br />For an excellent interview with David Gentlemen, see <a href="http://www.creativereview.co.uk/cr-blog/2009/october/penguin-by-illustrators">here</a>.

In addition to a range of imaginatively titled exercises such as "<span style="font-style: italic;">Body lowering (with arm bending)</span>", Lieut. Muller gives freely of his advice on a range of women's issues, not least of which is The Corset. The Lieut. doesn't have much time for corset-wearing weaklings, and let's them know it, in no uncertain terms:<br /><br />'<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:view>Normal</w:View> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:compatibility> <w:breakwrappedtables/> <w:snaptogridincell/> <w:wraptextwithpunct/> <w:useasianbreakrules/> </w:Compatibility> <w:browserlevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman";} </style> <![endif]--><span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US"><span style="font-style: italic;">The corset is such a symbol of sickness that it can only be properly regarded as a bandage serving to keep together a neglected, slovenly body, no matter how much one may strive to conceal this fact with fine phrases about the necessity of supporting the back and breasts</span>.</span>'<br /><br />As for corset-loving strumpets who want to wear a corset <span style="font-weight: bold;">and</span> have babies, well:<br />'<span style="font-style: italic;">To do such a thing is to be guilty of blasphemy!

Photographed over 130 years ago, there was something so real in her coming through, stripping the years away and making the moment seem like now.<br /><br />I can't recommend this exhibition (or the <a href="http://www.cbl.ie/">Chester Beatty</a>) highly enough... 'China through the lens of John Thomson 1868-1872'... he manages to convey a real sense of the people and the time. Please go and love the Chester Beatty... a jewel to be treasured.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg42OuMBILW37TaRLRtol9bBo1hLbVM1ArKC0ij6VDJ624flSVVwEVuYuC3BqJ-sgfM61wXSfCgmCKV2q4GLt4y6pcszFkyBK8TU7ovDyB-hGfU__nLJ424DQNMF0T6MbFyli4SnqOmR8lG/s1600/China-exhibition.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 146px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg42OuMBILW37TaRLRtol9bBo1hLbVM1ArKC0ij6VDJ624flSVVwEVuYuC3BqJ-sgfM61wXSfCgmCKV2q4GLt4y6pcszFkyBK8TU7ovDyB-hGfU__nLJ424DQNMF0T6MbFyli4SnqOmR8lG/s400/China-exhibition.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5699400992631491442" border="0" /></a>Sarah Bowiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11654410757746456770noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-378206818554773528.post-42255345481682218932012-01-17T01:49:00.001-08:002012-01-17T01:51:50.574-08:00Hello from....<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDFMDQo3CuFToDAJZs9FQxijoIxLvBqOeOBe7xMeIfdYhMK5MPqK-pWEYEPmDHsP6koqw54DTUHFTO6JqTNZudrLRXZufpUtFINY0wahNc4MKaHl6GMtv9eLWoZMsAaDlc4tTwaHqtimjJ/s1600/hello-from-tenerife.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 289px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDFMDQo3CuFToDAJZs9FQxijoIxLvBqOeOBe7xMeIfdYhMK5MPqK-pWEYEPmDHsP6koqw54DTUHFTO6JqTNZudrLRXZufpUtFINY0wahNc4MKaHl6GMtv9eLWoZMsAaDlc4tTwaHqtimjJ/s400/hello-from-tenerife.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698536045500408738" border="0" /></a><br />One of a series of 'Silly-tourist-postcards' I'm working on at the moment... will be available to buy on Etsy soon!Sarah Bowiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11654410757746456770noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-378206818554773528.post-53210030281367831652012-01-11T07:59:00.000-08:002012-01-11T08:03:17.628-08:00Bloody Chamber - Competition entry<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlDgNnuDZAblxZtfUr8t7PjeX80Aep6DG4SbhOs0Bxac0AC830yZHQI9x5oXpYar0mG2hpxFx4OY1-iqbikUrPCmGQ7eL5oR_SAR1joJaBxbwkc3bKryTcAI-pfn8h_eZKYa3jueh6qemb/s1600/Wolves-bowie.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlDgNnuDZAblxZtfUr8t7PjeX80Aep6DG4SbhOs0Bxac0AC830yZHQI9x5oXpYar0mG2hpxFx4OY1-iqbikUrPCmGQ7eL5oR_SAR1joJaBxbwkc3bKryTcAI-pfn8h_eZKYa3jueh6qemb/s320/Wolves-bowie.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5696405408433591218" /></a><br />Happy New Year all!
