8th July 2013: Playing around with "Answers in the Box" #1

6th July 2013: The Culturethèque Homepage again

I used to work at www.culturetheque.org.uk.
I made drawings for the blog all the time (just click on the label for this post "drawings for Culturetheque") which spread to flyers for the French Institute where it was based.

I made this series while I still worked there and it's back up on the homepage and I am an artist in Residence for the next two weeks, which is nice. I got a blogpost, and my drawings got mentioned on the Evelyn McCPeters Art Journal. All round, a nice deal.

Here's a screenshot of the homepage, in case you're too late to see it live:

31st May 2013: Animals Talking in French

I have been looking through my old drawings for the Culturetheque blog, and realised that a lot of what I drew involved an animal saying somthing. I have posted all the drawings that exactly fit that theme here.

30th May 2013: "les trous, les ptits trous"

This is based on a Serge Gainsbourg video called "Le Poinçonneur des Lilas" about the guy who used to make holes in metro tickets. I made it a while ago for Culturetheque.

29th May 2013: these were all part of one big drawing

That was then cut up into smaller drawings to illustrate a website I worked for a couple of years ago called Culturetheque. It's a French online library, which is why some of the text is in French. The three drawings at the top of this blogpost were used to illustrate blogposts about the French writer Rabelais so they contains quotes from his books.

The ones with Rabelais quotes:
