Geisha (Print Gocco illustration)
Had to check this out to see what is new in the wonderful world of bearbricks.
There was some expensive stuff under the counter, and the first chance to buy series 20 (I got two secret designs out of three I bought!)
My favourite on display was a giant, almost life-size, Charlie Brown.
Another illustration for the archive that doesn’t quite make it into the portfolio proper.
Here’s an oldish image that won’t make it into the main illustration galleries above proper, so here is the place to archive it. It made an appearance in postcard form in cinemas and health clubs across the UK.
A few scanned pages from an old scrapbook of mine.
I visited the 31st Design Festa a few weekends ago, the huge art event that pulls together a wide variety of illustrators, fashion designers, dancers, musicians, painters and looneys from the whole of Japan, Asia, and beyond.

Pro-Action, The Illustration Campaign and Liaison Group, says:
Your creativity is an Asset
And there are many ways to make the most of it – to exploit it, some might say.

Luckily, awareness of the problem is growing, and you are not alone. Far from it, in fact – we’re here to help.
