are you a pigeon fancier?
My plan for tomorrow is to check out the above exhibition. I'm confident it's going to be pretty wonderful.
Unfortunately I'll be missing out on the pigeon liberation, which is taking place on Monday (c'est un désastre!) so if any of you happen to go then please do document it as I am very curious indeed.
Will make sure to fill you in on the exhibition once I've been, but if you want any other information before then just head on over to the website.

what's all this then...
A whole day.
Devoted to pigeons.
What news!

Unfortunately it's all taking place in New York.
& New York is very far away.
Maybe next year?

pigeons on etsy
One of the things I search for most often on etsy is, of course, pigeons.
This is my best purchase to date:
I bought it a few months ago and unfortunately the shop which I got it from is now closed. But here are some other treats that are out there waiting to be snapped up:
spotted dove print (almost a pigeon).
pigeon necklace.
A nice lino print.
vintage flash cards.
& there's plenty more where they came from.

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.

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!

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!

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.
