Most of the dogs had really swanky collars - striped, polka dots, studded, even Cath Kidston scarves!
I did a series of outline illustrations and I wanted to do a few celebrities, but I ended up only doing one. I did Zach Galifianakis.

This is Charles MaGinnis at his best; it's a classic edition of his famous work on pen drawing so if you're interested in learning about art and drawing this is a great book to review.

In the summer of 1954, Alfred and Lynn made a suggestion to Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse that they write a comedy about two mind readers. The Lunts loved the idea of doing a play by their pals Howard and Russel (who co-wrote "Arsenic and Old Lace," "Anything Goes," and "The Sound of Music"). But even more than that, Lynn and Alfred were drawn to the challenge of learning how to do a mind-reading act, and to the excitement of having to pull it off every night for a live Broadway audience. During every performance of The Great Sebastians, after mastering a secret code with 150 distinct cues, Lynn and Alfred convincingly “read the minds” of the spellbound, enchanted audience members.
On a trip to London I was keen to take photos of street views and people I saw in the street. I approached this man for a photo as I thought his face was full of character and I thought it would be interesting to draw. I used this as a reference for a line drawing and layered this over abstract shapes of colour in acrylic paint to add depth and more modern twist on a typical linear drawing.
the other night while i was at a friend's house i was talking with austin and he completely misheard me and thought i'd said "im gonna do a drawing of you with a beard" when i was really talking about something entirely different

Illustration from "How to Entertain at Home" (1927)
I questioned whether or not I should post this image, but I think it serves an interesting historical and sociological purpose. This book was published in 1927, and provides instructions for housewives to throw all manner of parties, and includes recipes for massive quantities of each dish ("mushroom puffs for 100"). It seems to have been meant for households that would have domestic help, and the depiction in this illustration doesn't sit well with my modern eyes, but was apparently still common in the 1920s (almost 60 years after abolition).
