Lydia Monks: August 2012
http://lydiamonksbooks.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 22 August 2012. Here's my mermaid in all her glory! I stopped off on my way to Edinburgh at Seven Stories to drop her off. Luckily some lovely children drew her some friendly fish to keep her company! Thank you to all who came particularly Mia and Madeleline, who drew me some lovely pictures! It was great to see so many of you there. Luckily, I got to sit in on her Saturday event, without having to do too much. Her shows are truly amazing! I think 'exciting' is the word? The best bit about fes...

Thursday, 10 May 2012. Me Drawing in Brighton. Amazing what turns up on the tinterweb! Wednesday, 9 May 2012. I was let out of the studio last weekend to attend the Brighton Festival, and the launch of 'The Singing Mermaid'. I thought I'd go for a nautical outfit, as you can see! The launch was held at the Book Nook in Hove, which is an amazing shop run by lovely Vanessa and Julie. We arrived to find this gorgeous cake waiting for us! Far too good to eat! Hopefully you'll be able to see us on telly soon!

Lydia Monks: September 2012

Tuesday, 18 September 2012. Coin Box for Haslemere Museum. I was asked as a favour to create a background for a coin drop box for Haslemere Museum. I imagined something that sat on a desk - so it was a bit of a surprise to find out it was actually something quite large! Here I am sat in front of the tracing of the box. As you can see it had lots of holes and three tunnels! I thought maybe three snakes? I traced the holes and made them into eyes. Eyes sat on a tall tree! Then, I gave the eyes some owners!

Wednesday, 25 July 2012. Magic Worlds Exhibition, Sheffield. A really nice little exhibition at Weston Park. Museum in Sheffield. There was a bit of magic, and a bit of fairy tale.

My gorilla's bottom, I mean! The school mural continues. Sunday, 8 July 2012. I want to be this lady: Anni Leppala. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Monday, 30 January 2012. Illustrator to the Stars! My role as illustrator to the stars continues, it seems. My Little Library: Animals. Is published by Egmont in July! Saturday, 21 January 2012. There's also the feeling that you're being watched. My creepy crawl continued to the Wellcome Collection, to see the exhibition of Miracles and Charms. They also house an amazing collection of medical curiosities. I loved this delicate little lady, lying so peacefully, with her insides lying quietly beside her.

Wednesday, 10 April 2013. Mermaids and Merriment in Cardiff. Had a great time at the Cardiff Children's Literature Festival. It was certainly worth the eight hour journey through the snow! Thanks to all the lovely folks who came to see me at Chepstow Library on such a cold day. Great to meet you all, particularly lovely Matt, and family from Chepstow Book Shop! Then it was on to the National Museum in Cardiff. What a brilliant venue! What a big room! I hope to visit again next year! 11 April 2013 at 16:38.
