Today was the first time in the park that anyone's ever recognised me and said hello. It was a guy named \u003Ca href=\"http://www.suburbanwildlife.blogspot.com/\">Joe Beale\u003C/a>, who was carrying a photo tripod, and who attended the lecture I gave to MA Illustration students at Camberwell Art College when I'd only recently graduated. TWO HOURS, at a podium, in front of a hall full of people, and it was one of my first-ever events. I thought it was going to be scary, but then I realised I sort of \u003Ci>liked\u003C/i> having the license to talk about myself for absolutely ages, ha ha... *waves at Joe, if he's reading this*\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/greenwich_pk_13oct11-6578468b4d.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nWhile I was still trying to get myself out of the house after breakfast, I caught sight of a video about the work of one of my favourite artists, \u003Ca href=\"http://www.misterrob.co.uk/\">Rob Ryan\u003C/a>, so I thought I'd show it to you. Here it is, as seen on \u003Ca href=\"http://www.printeresting.org/2011/10/11/rob-ryan/\">Printeresting\u003C/a> and \u003Ca href=\"http://blog.drawn.ca/post/11322547403/beautiful-work-by-rob-ryan-via-rob-ryan\">Drawn\u003C/a> blogs.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Clj-embed id=\"1261\"/>\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"/30265328\">Handmade Portraits: Rob Ryan\u003C/a> from \u003Ca href=\"/etsy\">Etsy\u003C/a> on \u003Ca href=\"/\">Vimeo\u003C/a>.\u003C/p>\\r\nI pulled Stuart over to have a look, and he said, 'Oh, isn't that the chap who was in my cycling magazine?' Stuart reads the \u003Ca href=\"http://lcc.org.uk/pages/magazine\">London Cyclist\u003C/a> religiously, and yup, there was Rob Ryan. \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/london_cyclist_rob_ryan-139c31861c.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nI snapped a photo of a book I have with a cover he designed. You'll probably recognise his work - it's everywhere at the moment - but if you don't know it, be sure to visit \u003Ca href=\"http://www.misterrob.co.uk/\">his website\u003C/a> for a peek. I thought about doing my morning tree drawing in cut paper instead of pencil, but my pointy craft knives are all dull, so I'll save that for another day.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/london_cyclist_rob_ryan2-028e24a74d.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nDon't forget, the Etherington Brothers launch their comic \u003Ci>Baggage\u003C/i> in London tonight! \u003Ca href=\"http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l27/jabberworks/Uploads2011/baggage_launch.jpg\">Details here\u003C/a>, see you soon!","2011-10-13T11:37:00.000Z","greenwich-tree-rob-ryan",[],"greenwich tree + rob ryan",1776628720819]
