After the first few hours, I was a total wreck, having neglected basic things like remembering to blink. Luckily Anna \u003Ca href=\"http://mondoagogo.livejournal.com/\" class=\"lj-user\">mondoagogo\u003C/a> came along and sat with me while I took a tea recovery break, then headed back in for another few hours of eyesocket overload, then we had sushi in Green Park. \\r\n\\r\nMy little neighbour friend was well impressed with the exhibition album I brought home, and all the copying I'd done in my sketchbook while I was there. So after we read a book illustrated by \u003Ca href=\"http://unitedagents.co.uk/books/illustrators/russell-ayto/\">Russell Ayto\u003C/a> (\u003Ci>Where's Tim's Ted?\u003C/i>), we decided to do some more copying and she got a lesson in dip pens, watercolours and hairdryers. So the one of the left is my copy, the one on the right is hers, and the one in the middle is a joint venture. Moo!\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/aytocows-f39cb4475e.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Ci>Edit:\u003C/i> Have you seen \u003Ca href=\"http://harveyjames.livejournal.com/\" class=\"lj-user\">harveyjames\u003C/a>'s assembled \u003Ca href=\"http://harveyjames.livejournal.com/127862.html\">lady cats?\u003C/a> It's truly an amazing collaborative collection.\\r\n\\r\nAnd thanks, \u003Clj user=\"_w_o_o_d_ \">, for alerting me to the existence of \u003Ca href=\"http://www.platinumgrit.com/issue19.htm\">Platinum Grit\u003C/a>, where Episode 19 just went up.
