buy things.... buy them now!

its been ages, but then again I have a veeeery good excuse

I know, I know, It's been a long long time since I posted anything and every time I do post these days I usually have to start off by apologising for not posting in a long time.

But this time I really do have a good excuse, or rather a raft of them...

The last few weeks have seen me graduate, move to London, exhibit at new blood at D&AD, get a cheeky mention in creative review along with 8 of my fellow NUCA illustration grads and send out about a million and one CVs to potential future employers.

I have also been trying to come to terms with twitter https://twitter.com/#!/BRillustrations and use the little blog embedded on my website http://www.benrotheryillustrator.co.uk/category/blog/

So like I said, busy busy busy busy...

It was this afternoon sitting, at new blood, roasting my arse off in the old truman brewery on brick lane that I realised that I had not put pen or pencil to paper in probably 2 months with assessment, graduation etc so i started sketching and scribbling, in this case an African Eagle Owl... practise for my new project 'The King of the Birds'...

Thats what the photo is all about, a fellow exhibitor or student or member of the general public was wandering about and asked whether they could take a snappy snap (I paraphrase I think he just asked to take a photo) and here it is, a shot of me doodling while I waited to have a portfolio review with one of the industry types...

I have decided not to say that I promise to be more regular with my blogging because to be perfectly honest, I hope to be so busy that I just don't have the time... but from time to time I'll keep you all up to date with my comings and goings but the posts may end up being as long as this one.

love love
