We’re taking a six week break from our Wednesday Night sessions at The Old Market in Hove to allow our friends at TOM to fill their marvelous venue with multitudinous May Festival delights. We’ll be continuing our drawing collaboration with TOM after May; in the meantime our full program is still running as normal at the New England House studio. TOM are holding some great shows over May, check out their program right here.

Here are a couple of quick drawings doodled from the back of Fierce Poses, our Children’s Festival event this Monday at Komedia. We had up to around 60-70 kids and parents coming to illustrate an evolving fairy tale of still poses enacted by our three theatrically costumed models Laura, Frankie and Kaylee. The models went into a pose and everybody would draw the tableau, voting on what should happen next in the story and directing the next pose to create the next scene.

Hopefully we should have some photos up soon of the day; in the meantime there are a whole load of other great activities happening every day as part of the festival. Take a look here.
