It’s A Beautiful Life. Acrylic paint on wooden board. This post is about my Senior Project for Richmond University. It’s from 3 years ago, but recently I’ve been doing a lot of wondering and debating over both medical things (the good ol’ NHS) and also aspects of sharing with social media. Looking at this, I […]
“To have a sacred place is an absolute necessity for anybody today. You must have a room or a certain hour of the day or so, where you do not know who your friends are, you don’t know what you owe anybody or what they owe you. This is a place where you can simply […]
Here’s a selection of type faces found while wandering around Greenwich this morning- both from the streets, the Cutty Sark, and also the National Maritime museum!
In what I assure you has been a truly strange week, I’ve been to two immersive theatre productions of Kafka’s writing. Last Friday I went to Fourth Monkey’s “Project Colony” in East India Quay, and last night, on the very enthusiastic recommendation of a friend, I went to see Retz’s “The Trial” at various locations […]

For this project, it’s my intention to visit every station on every branch of the District line, and take a picture of its roundel. Today I covered Wimbledon- Embankment. The […]
The Design Museum does an excellent twitter activity every Monday at lunchtime (UK lunchtime obvs!) where they set you a drawing challenge to complete on your lunch break. Normally it’s things like ‘draw your lunch,’ ‘draw a postbox,”draw the jewelry you’re wearing,’ you know, reasonably normal things to draw. This was one of their recent […]
The other day I skyped my darling sister Amanda Pulham, who happens to be both a more talented artist than I am, and funnier than me. I know, right? Some people get dipped in all the right gene pools. She wished me a Happy Birthday, and then said “Or as the Koreans say, ‘Congratulations Sea […]
Today I headed off to the lovely Museum of Childhood, in Bethnal Green. This is a V&A museum, and is housed in a gorgeousbuilding which dates back to 1872. The Museum houses toys from all over the world, as well as other childhood objects – cribs, strollers, and currently has a very interesting exhibition about […]
