Wednesday, November 12, 2014 Choosing when to die

A drawing for the NYT today, about the right to choose when to die. I did two versions, but in the end we went with the line drawing. Read the letter here.

Tuesday, August 12, 2014 Pink & Medieval

I got new pink ink. I've been looking a lot of medieval illuminations. I stole the idea for the first of these drawings from a 15th Century Book of Hours. Sorry, monks.

Wednesday, August 14, 2013 Drawing at night

Woof, it's been a long time. I've been travelling, mainly on jewellery business, so a little more has been going on over on the Datter blog. I got home yesterday after 16 hours in transit. Very jetlagged. But today is my dad's birthday, so I drew him this. Simple. Drawing at night, which I guess I'll be doing for a while til I adjust to GMT.

Monday, May 13, 2013 Mum at the Oxford Botanic Gardens

A follow up to my last post about my ma, as it's US Mother's Day today. My lovely mum has been exhibiting her work at the Oxford Botanic Garden. The show just finished, and these are a few photos I just got developed. They're grainy and don't do the work justice (expired film) but boy, these paintings look good.

Sunday, March 10, 2013 Mum's studio

It's mother's day, which seems a good time to post these photographs. I took them at my mum's open studio a few months ago. She's a painter, with an incredible eye for pattern and colour - not to mention, y'know, an amazing mum and general badass powerful woman. So this is a tiny tribute to her and her work. Here you go. Thanks for everything, mamma.

You can see more of her work on her website, chloefremantle.com. When I look at it I actually can't believe how prolific she is. Somebody give this woman a contract to design all the textiles, art, and wallpaper for a palace somewhere.

Here's another photo from her studio building: it's huge, but I like it. The shared phone in the corridor between many studios. Evidence that artists work here.

Saturday, February 23, 2013 Covering

Drawing exercises. Covering part of face. Though the last one just looks like she's smelling her fingers. What of it.

Friday, February 1, 2013 Armour

Well, since last we met, dear Blog, I have moved house and moved studio and generally gone a bit mad with moving. It's not conducive to making work when all your stuff is in boxes. I've just been making the things I needed to make to get along, and then spending the rest of my time thinking about light fittings and doormats and absurd brain-wasters like that.

Here's a chick who's way tougher than me, and a bird that she killed.
