Zone 5300 Winter Sale

Rotterdam’s the place this weekend, for original illustration art, prints, t-shirts, signed books, and other bits, bobs and doodles. All at the Zone 5300 Winter Sale, 28 & 29 November, 11am to 6pm, Studio Hergebruik, Coolsingel 53, Rotterdam.

I’ll have a few things on offer there myself, including these paintings rendered for a set of baby books published by Sandvik of Norway.

Freewheeling

Oldish and newish links: bike blogging, bus blogging, tube blogging, horse and carriage blogging, and more bike blogging.

The illustration is one of those for Sandvik children’s books from 2007.

Easter holidays

We’re off tomorrow. A good thing, as a weary sadness crept upon me today. We’ll miss the seder with the in-laws, but I’ve had enough gruesome talk from Peggy of all she’s heard at school about the crucifixion, and I’ll happily do without the killing of the first born on top. She’s only just turned five!

Peggy earlier today: “Papa, why did God let Jesus die on the cross?”

Me: “I don’t know, it’s just a story.”

Her big brother Bo, eight years old now: “You know Peggy, not everyone believes it, and one who doesn’t is that fellow there!”

Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes . . .

 . . . head shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes,

and eyes, and ears, and mouth and nose -

head, shoulders, knees and toes!

Is that the time?

. . . off to bed then. One of these years I ought to reset the clock on this blog to London time.
