I don't normally work from photos, but this one was so expressive.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/mags_pencil_portrait_zps8249197f-87cbf3c7fe.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nHey, do you want me to draw a portrait of your family? I don't normally take commissions, but for the Tots 100 competition, you can win a drawing of your family. (Not a pencil drawing like the one above, more of a pen and ink drawing, like in \u003Ci>Oliver and the Seawigs\u003C/i>.)\\r\n\\r\n\u003Ca href=\"http://www.tots100.co.uk/2013/10/11/win-a-brilliant-personalised-family-portrait/\">\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/tots100_comp_zps1e8bfb1b-9989891510.jpg\">\u003C/a>\\r\n\\r\nThe rules are very simple: Paint, draw or collage your own Seawig with your kids (using my \u003Ca href=\"http://www.jabberworks.co.uk/oliver-and-the-seawigs/\">free downloadable online template\u003C/a>, if you like), then blog about it and post it on Twitter or Instagram with the hash tag \u003Ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Tots100Seawigs&src=typd&f=realtime\">#Tots100Seawigs\u003C/a>, or e-mail it to their address. Be sure to check the \u003Ca href=\"http://www.tots100.co.uk/2013/10/11/win-a-brilliant-personalised-family-portrait/\">Tots 100 website here\u003C/a> for more details.\\r\n\\r\nOther news: My fab studio mate \u003Cb>Gary Northfield\u003C/b> has just set up \u003Ca href=\"http://garynorthfield.bigcartel.com/\">an online shop\u003C/a> and is selling some of his original artwork. \\r\n\\r\nAnd \u003Cb>Page 45\u003C/b> comic shop in Nottingham \u003Ca href=\"http://www.page45.com/world/2013/10/reviews-october-2013-week-three/\">reviews our \u003Ci>Tiny Pencil\u003C/i> colouring box set\u003C/a> (scroll down). I think this box set is actually more for adults and teenagers than kids (it has two tiny sweary words in it) but it's incredibly lush.","2013-10-17T07:38:00.000Z","mags-with-wings",[],"mags with wings",1776628725713]
