Illustration Friday - 'Match'

Here is a picture which features not only a fountain with matching birds on the side, but also matching fish floating around somewhere in the ether. So you should be feeling really 'well-matched'.

Terrible jokes aside, I've just submitted the draft for my dissertation to my tutor. I'm within the permitted word count by three words (or else they start deducting marks!), so I'm severely hoping he doesn't want me to add to it. If he looks very carefully, he'll see that I'm a really sad individual who does this sort of thing on a Saturday night when everyone else is out enjoying themselves.

I'm off to do some drorin tomorrow, though, and that's what I REALLY DO!

Illustration Friday - Play

This is an illustration entitled 'March past of the kitchen utensils', and shows a scene from Aristophanes' play 'The Wasps'.

Vaughan Williams has also written a piece based on 'The Wasps', and one of the movements has the same title as my painting (though I have to admit he did it first!)

For anyone unfamiliar with the play, I really really recommend it - it's surreal and totally mad!

The characters at the bottom of my piece are the wasps themselves. They aren't insects, just jury members ...
