(Congratulations, guys!)  Unfortunately, my brain was totally zombified by this stupid ongoing jet-lag, so I was pretty incoherent all evening and I missed a lot of stuff. So I'll probably have to go back and have a look at the exhibition during the week. \u003Ca href=\"http://camberwellmaillustration.blogspot.com/\">(Details here.)\u003C/a> From what I've seen so far, the best of show went to \u003Ca href=\"http://marklongillustration.co.uk\">Mark Long\u003C/a>, with his \u003Ci>Football Chants\u003C/i>. I bought a copy of his \u003Ci>Selected Football Chants\u003C/i>, a gorgeous two-colour mini. But the one on display had every page screen printed, and it was pretty amazing. It reminds me a bit of \u003Ca href=\"http://www.castorandpollux.co.uk/cakesandalepress/index.html\">Jonny Hannah\u003C/a>'s work, with the lettering and slightly naive, bold figures. \u003Ci>\u003Ca href=\"http://jabberworks.livejournal.com/193340.html\">(Hey, look, I drew Peter Crouch, too!)\u003C/a>\u003C/i>\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/cwell1-0afd4352d9.jpg\" width=\"200\"> \u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/cwell2-c2c24c8f39.jpg\" width=\"500\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Ca href=\"http://gwenturnercamberwell2009.blogspot.com/\">Gwen Turner\u003C/a> and \u003Ca href=\"http://thomasflinthamcamberwell2009.blogspot.com/\">Thomas Flintham\u003C/a> also had some lovely work on display. Actually, I was really impressed with the whole illustration group, I think they've taken the quality up a notch from previous years' shows. Do go see their work this week if you're able, or visit their \u003Ca href=\"http://camberwellmaillustration.blogspot.com/\">group website\u003C/a>.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/cwell3-8ea4300cb8.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nI wish I'd taken a photo of the entryway, which was \u003Ca href=\"http://mylescalvert.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/icon4.jpg?w=497&h=662\">covered in toast\u003C/a>. And as I was going, \u003Ca href=\"http://www.mylescalvert.ca/\">Myles Calvert\u003C/a> gave me my very own piece of varnished toast. I've seen toast art before, but I still thought it made for a memorable business card.","2009-07-15T14:06:00.000Z","camberwell-ma-degree-show-2",[],"camberwell ma degree show",1776628732935]
