PIGEON NEWS

Check this out:


It's part of the Brighton Festival Fringe 2009 and I think everyone should go!
What could be better than an exhibition about pigeons and pigeon fanciers, followed by a liberation of pigeons.
You can even attach a note for one to carry (helpful fellows that they are!).

See here for more details and I hope to see you all on the 25th May.
I might even wear my pigeon hat.

my first screen print...

and guess what it contained:

watercolour

light reading

I got a new book in the post today:


It was recommended to me quite a while ago now and I finally got around to getting a copy. I think it's about a man who is tormented by a pigeon (surely not!?). Will let you know how it goes.

In other news, I moved into a new office on Monday and there is a gang of pigeons who spend their day on the tree outside my window. They looked very cold and damp yesterday and I thought about throwing them some raisins but thought it best not to encourage them (I don't want to be responsible for a pest problem).

Will keep you updated about their progress though...maybe I should name them?

a pigeon on a badge

I attended the brighton zinefest at the weekend and found a stall where you could design a button badge and have it made. It didn't take me long to decide what I wanted and I got two of these little pigeon badges.

Now, I think one is for me, but the other is looking for a nice new home so I'd like to send it out to one of you. If anyone would like it please leave a comment and I'll be more than happy to post it out.

Hooray - wear your pigeon with pride!

a little treat i picked up from ebay:

TODAY

Today I drew a pigeon:


I also ordered this book and found out that Darwin was a pigeon fancier:


Original line drawings from Darwin's "Variation in Animals and Plants under Domestication" (1868)

Interesting stuff!

a jolly good cause

pigeon hat

Do you like my pigeon hat?


It's actually a hunting decoy but I thought I'd put it to a much better (and friendlier use) by wearing it as a hat.
Perfect for fancy dress - I'd definitely recommend it.

FOR SALE

I made some pigeons.
And now they need good homes!
Take a peek here to get hold of one.


Thank you!
