Eighth Great Goose Egg Auction 

Open Fields is a wonderful little school in Vermont. Every two years the staff send blown goose eggs to artists around the world. The decorated eggs are then auctioned in support of the school. In 2008, 85 eggs were auctioned and $12,088 was raised. To see all the eggs, including the two witches I drew then, and all those of this and previous years, please go to  the school's web page.

The 2010 auction was held on 7 and 8 May at the Hanover  Inn in Hanover, New Hampshire.  This time 111 eggs were auctioned and a total of $13,000 was raised.

BIBA

Employed by Barbara Hulanicki as a pattern cutter and colourist. Supplied illustrations for publicity and designed the children's department in the third of her four shops. The design for the children's department is in Alwyn Turner's sumptuous book The Biba Experience, the perfect read for Bibaphiles.

 
 
 



ROXY MUSIC

The first artwork designed for Roxy Music. It was used, printed on satin, as backstage passes and, in repeat, as a paper poster.
It appears in the splendid book by Michael Bracewell, Roxy, published by Faber in 2008, the story of the making of Roxy Music. It includes interviews with all the main characters and is a fascinating read. Highly recommended.
