Lionheart Magazine and NYE

Dear Readers

Happy New Year! So we are now officially in the future, saying TWENTY TWELVE and not TWO THOUSAND AND SUMMIT!

Had a typical NYE in the local town of Bideford where people come from far and wide to dress up in fancy dress and party in the streets. It's really brilliant. Pops has been growing his beard since well before November in preparation for his True Grit esque Western Sheriff. My Aunty, Mum and I did Dynasty. NYE is never a let down for me touch wood. I love the joy of the countdown with thousands of others. I don't think I would like a party or night club NYE celebrations, I would think i was missing out on something somewhere.

MUM

POPS

MEEE     





This year, and hopefully very soon will see me return to London, it has been a break of 4 years. I wasn't sure if I would return to London or if I would meet someone and settle down. The latter has not happened so it has purely been  time for family, artwork and paying off a bit of debt. I just hope the transition goes to plan and I get a good job and somewhere happy and nice to live, because I surely have had my fair share of living with pyschos (obviously friends being the exception).








Also my artwork will be another part of the move back to London, I barely did anything last time I was there, I was in a massive rut. But I am very keen to carry on now. So contributing to mags like Lionheart will continue! The new magazine put together solely by Helen Martin within months of her decision to branch out on her own is very inspiring, especially in a day of age when the opportunity of creativity gets squashed through lack of funding, or maybe it actually spurs it. It is a treasure of a magazine, stacked full of articles and imagery. When so many bigger magazines such as I.D and Dazed and Confused continue to be very samey, it's refreshing having these to read. I got to illustrate the crafty and creative young family of James Kicinski-Mccoy aka bleubirdvintage who has one of those sorts of blogs you get lost in and keep clicking next page, next page...






Last night Mum and I drove up to London, had a yummy cottage pie at my Auntie's, and then got dressed and went to the Royal Opera House to see La Traviata. It was a birthday present for Mum's 50th in November from me. It was absolutely wonderful. And actually it was the same Opera from Pretty Woman! I had never been to the ROH before, it did not disapoint, I could only afford cheap seats and couldn't sit with Mum but managed to get seats opposite each other so I could see Mum from the other side of the 'Slips' where you have to lean over red velvet bar and look down at the performance, which adds to the fun of it as you feel like you are spying! The massive 1850s Parisian dresses were dreamy, Violetta was beautiful and it made you cry!
