this is my second pencil in two weeks

i've spent the last 3 days solidly drawing for the awards portraits. they should be all done soon, i think i've done over 40 so far.

Today both Laura and Emily are leaving. They will be sorely missed. To say 'bye' we had an enormous cake and as not to rack up the expenses, some great budget Cava!
We wish them all the best for the future, and at 6pm Laura is still mailmerging, cc'ing, and commissioning.
after a fairly productive week it's another great bank holiday weekend, good fun!
i haven't been able to stop listening to vampire weekend and fleet foxes all week. i've still got a lot of portraits to do, some are good , some bad, so it will probably be a case of culling and re-doing any naff ones next week.

I've spent the whole day getting through the portraits, 26 done in total. Emily wanted a matching gold lazer which some of the portraits are lucky enough to include!
We are off for a drink later as Laura is leaving, then off to watch the football.

So far i've drawn 16 of the winners, i think there's another 40 or so to still do! Coming along well though.

Working on the Commended certificates, hopefully they will be a nice surprise when received.

i've started the task of drawing portraits of all the YCN awards winners, with a little help from facebook!
emily robertson (like the jam not the juice) just made a noise "like a groan and a sigh", because sometimes she does!
Have a good weekend!

tonight is the launch party for the band Guildean Gang's first single. It's at the Wilmington Arms in Farringdon. I did the artwork for the vinyl and cd and it can be brought from Rough Trade in London

today i've been busying myself doing some drawings and them spending an eternity trying to post things correctly on the website. It's almost the weekend and looking forward to a a few days off.

On my way in this morning I was singled out from the crowds of suits at Kings Cross Tube station by the Police under the provision of the anti-terrorism act! After having my bag and possessions searched i had my details taken and sent on my way with the remark, "you've got a good excuse for being late!" Which was correct!

since there's a lot going on with the nike art of football events i thought i'd just add how fulham managed to avoid relegation yesterday remarkably!
