The room had an amazing view over the Thames and the London Eye. After the baby girl was feeding and the mum was sleeping, I went for an early walk along the river from the hospital by Westminster Bridge to London Bridge and had that sort of marvellous mental intensity and clarity you only get on a brisk walk in the fresh air when you've stayed up all night.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/chi1-9146a3dbb9.jpg\">\\r\n\u003C!--more More baby pics here-->\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/chi2-b92667fe8b.jpg\"> \u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/chi3-f30c9676a0.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/chi4-7ce16e20a0.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/chi5-bb7bb5b6dd.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/chi6-07c86c86a4.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\\r\nThe evening before that was really good fun, I went to see \u003Ci>\u003Ca href=\"http://www.primalinea.com/pdn/index.html\">Fear(s) of the Dark\u003C/i>\u003C/a> at the ICA, hosted by \u003Ca href=\"http://www.paulgravett.com\">Paul Gravett\u003C/a>. My favourite section was by \u003Ca href=\"http://www.richard-mcguire.com\">Richard McGuire\u003C/a>, created in black and white chiaroscuro, very abstract at times. A candle would illuminate something in the darkness and for a long time we wouldn't know what it was until the light fleshed out other areas around it. Really striking. I also liked the textured pencil work of \u003Ca href=\"http://www.mattotti.com\">Lorenzo Mattotti\u003C/a>, and the clean linework of \u003Ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Burns_(cartoonist)\">Charles Burns\u003C/a>.\\r\n\\r\nPaul Gravett did a plug for \u003Ca href=\"http://www.paulgravett.com/books/isc/isc.htm\">his latest book\u003C/a> with Peter Stanbury, \u003Ci>The Leather Nun: and other incredibly strange comics\u003C/i>. It is, as Jonathan Ross puts it so nicely, \u003Ci> the perfect gift for any comic-book lover or pervert in your life.\u003C/i>\\r\n\\r\nIt was great seeing so many comics people in the bar after the film, including \u003Cb>Ellen Lindner, Stephen Betts,  Lee Simmons, Rian Hughes, Dave O'Connell\u003C/b>, and I met for the first time \u003Cb>Tim Webber\u003C/b>, who designed Paul Gravett's website and has a brilliant comics site of his own, \u003Ca href=\"http://www.readyourselfraw.com\">Read Yourself Raw\u003C/a>. Dave got me as far as Westminster station after the gathering and I tottered across the bridge to the hospital for the next baby-themed event.","2008-09-09T12:20:00.000Z","london-sunrise-baby",[],"london sunrise baby",1776628723567]
