Doing something Funny

Morning! As its Red Nose day is in a weeks time, I am doing something funny.

50% of all sales in the shop goes to Red Nose Day up til end of day on 18 March. Not that hilarious but telling jokes isn't really my forte, i can do a sketch though.

So get your fix of the Illustrated Dictionary Project here.
Clara (Original Drawing 121 x 191 mm £60)


The last Shock Awakening Screen print is in the shop (60 cm x 80 cm, Number 6 of an edition of 40, £165), And also the very last couple of Crime Scene Screen prints (100.5 cm x 70.5 cm, edition of 45, £245) Buy anything in the shop before 18 March and 50% will go to Red Nose Day so you can feel all warm and glowy from having supported the brilliant Comic Relief, jolly nice.

Have a funny weekend y'all

I've been drawing

So after a bit of a break from the drawing project, I'm now back from Sydney and fully emersed into UK time zone and loving getting back into drawing.

The idea is to fill every page of an antique French dictionary with a drawing, I'm somewhere around the D's now, and think at this rate it will probably take another 2 years, so stay posted!

I'm into inks at the mo', so the next batch is in brown ink, white ink which is pretty lovely to use and indian inks... the first few drawings were pencil and charcoal, so I'm slowly evolving....

New ones are now online here in the shop

Back on the Drawing Project

... been a while since last blog, silly busy,

Been making large things in the studio, and have recently discovered the joys of having an assistant, marvellous times and much more productive at making flags now. So onwards and upwards, been sewing like demons in the studio making some beautiful things for the Sydney Show..... more complex and intricate flag-making. And a recent trip to Berwick Street was very fruitful, linens, denims and ticking, very authentic utility fabrics, for making new/ old flags. Delicious.

On a different tack, I'm getting back into the Drawing Project, I have set myself a mission to draw on every page of a french dictionary, more drawings added to new shop http://pamglew.bigcartel.com

Hope to get a chance to keep drawing most days, will keep u posted for progress reports!

New Batch of Drawings

Ever the fan of vintage, antique and old materials, I recently found an old illustrated French Dictionary from 1919. Each of its 791 pages are full of illustrations, maps and little surprises and are the perfect material to embark on a project.

The drawing project is essentially an idea to fill every page of the dictionary with a drawing. Right now I am compelled to sketch characters that are visually striking and have a inner narrative.

Some of these drawings will become large flags in the future, some will remain a one off drawing. I'm currently drawing on the C's, so this is going to be a long project that will morph and change direction as my work develops over the coming months, or maybe years!

Currently these drawings are only availble from Etsy, my online shop, http://www.pamglew.etsy.com

You can join the RSS feed from the shop to see new drawings listed daily.
