I’m currently working on a project all about the District line. Here’s a little chunk from what I covered today, while looking at my commute. 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 […]
The dynamic duo known as Bob and Ellie are at it again! Here’s what they’ve been getting up to this week! Taking the tube to work. Bob kindly stands and lets Ellie sit as he’s a gentlefish. A voyeuristic supporting role for Ellie in Criminal Minds, while Bob plays Agent Prentfish . While Bob steps […]
Today is a bank holiday (foreigners this means a day OFF work) so naturally I am wide the fuck awake at the ass crack of dawn and completely unable to sit still. I found one of those 1001 books you should read before you die lists (45 so far), and now I’ve decided that today […]
I’ve got a birthday coming up. Not a milestone, but I look at me 5 years ago and I don’t see a lot of change between 27 year old me and 22 year old me (except that 22 year old me could easily drink 27 year old me under the table.) This makes me concerned […]
Today I went to the Churchill War Rooms, in Whitehall, which is a part of the Imperial War Museum. The War Rooms are rooms in an underground bunker that hosted Winston Churchill and his government in a (somewhat) bomb-proof area during the Second World War. They were used for information gathering, meetings, and also living […]
In November 2011 Paul and I were lucky enough to get tickets to an open day at Aldwych disused tube station. The following is the history of the station as well as some pictures. There is something to mention though. London Transport Museum and TFL still open the station up on rare occasion for group […]
This week’s #Sketchbreak challenge was to draw your lunch. It was made slightly more difficult by the fact that I was starving, and my darling desk mate was eyeing up my lunch like a vulture waiting for a gazelle to die in the African wilds. Here’s my take on a sushi lunch, drawn in marker […]
