I like this video because it has lots of dogs flying in the air

We've devoured a chocolate log and lots of macaroons today. Surprisingly Tesco macaroons aren't as good as the ones Boyko brought back from Paris!

We're going to have a few manic days with lots of people coming into the studio to do their artwork for the Becks Fusion project. I think most of us are already sick of hearing the same song on repeat, so after it being played another 30 or so times from now until friday we'll all have to bring in ear-defenders!

We said goodbye to Isabelle on friday night in style. Apart from a slight Rugby ball incicdent all went well!

Came accross Julien Vallee's work again today. I'd seen it before on "Many Stuff". Some really lovely paper cut outs, enjoy!

Yesterday the final two portaits were completed. I've drawn around 120 of them, so now we can crack on and get the tea towels sorted out. We've been working on the Becks Fusion live studio yesterday and today. We are going to be getting a large painting done this afternoon.
Had a really busy few days at the end of last week. We visited Iris and drew the staff which was fun, all of the portraits have just about been finished so they'll be getting them in the post soon.
Had a good weekend in the sun. Saw a strange private view on Saturday and watched the football before a good nigh out. Spent sunday watching cricket (in central London!) which was very quaint.
I was told about this video by a friend who loves his fixed gear bike..

We visited the marketing company, Iris, yesterday to take polaroids of their staff to be drawn. So today, myself and Kate Hazell have been drawing people. We were also provided with a list of one ting that each individual likes, some of which were a bit odd, ie Aaron Mcg likes fighting (!?).

Toby and Ben both, apparently, like hairy breasts.

Jake likes owls and Barry likes footie!

It's been a busy week here so it's nice to have a slightly more relaxed friday. We've been talking about some really exciting ideas for upcoming projects, and a great drawing project to run next week.
Well done to Lee McQueen who became Sir Alan's Apprentice last night. Show your congratulations by doing a mandatory reverse pterodactyl impression.

This is a montage with all the winning things taken from the commended portraits.
I'm off tonight to see the some catwalk action for Graduate Fashion Week as my friend is graduating from UEL. As Nick shamelessly went to see 'Sex and The City' last friday i'm hoping that he can give me some tips on some appropriate attire.
