illustrator’s uniform

Here’s a picture of me in my spiffing new gear as ship’s illustrator for the Cutty Sark. I spent the morning getting a health and safety induction, then clambering up and down the decks of the ship with my camera and sketchbook and chatting with the construction crew, then going around to the warehouse workshop near the power station. It’s great, I would’ve been nosey about the Cutty Sark anyway, and now I can do it with an entrance pass!

I’m not allowed to post any pictures of the ship until they’re authorised, but you can see a handy-dandy fire extinguisher on the floor behind me. I noticed that there are a lot of those lying around.
