I am amazed at your energy. What a great day, and in such opulent surroundings too.

Your Works are very inspiring and
very lovely

Have fun in Edinburgh, I love it there when the festival is on - such a buzz about it! We're still hoping to get down for a few days (my eldest is at university there), I wish I'd known about your events, I could have picked up some tips!

That sounds so much fun Lynne. I hope the sun shines while you are there it makes everything so much nicer. I envy you going to see Gerald Scarfe , I love his work.
It's great that you have a travelling companion in your friend Lydia, the only drawback is that we won't get any 'people on the train' sketches!

How exciting! I'm moving to Edinburgh at the end of July so I'll be there for the Festival. Unless I actually find a job and have to work that day, I'll be sure to check out your talk.

Aww, I would have loved to have seen you. We will be in Edinburgh for July but have to head back to Montreal before the festival - shame :(
Hopefully, we can see you there another year. I used to work at the Edinburgh Book Festival many years ago. Illustrating childrens books was still a faraway dream at the time, and the closest I got to illustration, was working in the childrens tent and wearing a Kipper the dog costume (Mick Inkpen)- loved it all!

That sound great Lynne. And it will be good if you get chance to see other folk's sessions too - it's always interesting to see what other people do.

Be lovely to see you Jacqueline!

Rather you than me Sweet Pea - those costumes always look SO hot and uncomfortable, I can't imagine what it was like in August! Enjoy Montreal!

Your work is very good. I can get the good humor that you have trough your drawings. I'll try to do some kids illustration but I think I am not an imaginative person, it's so hard for me to figure out something!!...sometimes I think my environment has a lot to do with my inspiration because when I am in a pleasant or full of art place my heart and my mind fills with joy and ideas, the problem is that usually I am not in a pleasant environment. Does this happen to you too?...well, I don't think so because you can draw even in the train...You are a designer aren't you?
Well, I'm so glad that I found your blog.
Best regards for you and keep working!

Thanks Carolina! Unpleasant environments can be inspiring too, though it depends in what way of course. Bland is the worst of all.

I find that when I need inspiration and it's not close at hand, I look at other people's work. I can recommend a fantastic book for getting your creative juices bubbling: check out this earlier post:
