I am playing and I shouldn't be I still have such a lot of work for work to do, but I am inspired and you need to strike while the irons hot, and so here is the happy fruit of my weekend, I hope to have a book finished in the next few weeks. It also explains my current obsession with illustration . . . sorry.

I am really enjoying monotone, woodcut style work at the moment, so the work of Hilke is just perfect. Hilke is another illustrator and ceramicist you can see more of her and her husbands work here: http://www.macintyre-art.com/
I like the way it always seems to rain when you've had a drastic hair cut, and that led me to think of rain bouncing on a bald head. Then I thought about how when everyone is scowling into the oncoming rain I always try to be contrary and smile. So I'm thinking about how your attitude could change your view of rain, and changing its colour, for different people in my pictures.
