studio warming party!!!
If you’re anywhere near London, come cuddle up Gary, Viviane and our flock of woolly buddies at the Fleece Station! It’s at the Old Police Station in Deptford, and you can come along at 4pm for an auction benefitting the … Continue reading
lumpy and jamie smart
Today’s very sloppy morning sketch features Lumpy the dinosaur, carefully crafted by Gary Northfield and lurking on one of the studio bookshelves. Lumpy is very famous, he starred in a film at the National Theatre for about four seconds and … Continue reading

Yesterday I went with Ellen Lindner and Myla Goldberg to Yauatcha in Soho, just around the corner from Berwick Street Market, for the most amazing dim sum and teacake selection! Ellen and Myla are both sophisticated New York literary people, … Continue reading
