'And yet it moves...'

Winston Churchill Design Competition

The text is taken from a number of speeches given by Churchill throughout his fifty (or so) years in Parliament. The composition was chosen to reflect his firm stance and endurance in the face of adversity, and to highlight his continuing relevance to people both in the UK and abroad.

Northern Lights

"The aurora was one of the last unsolved mysteries of the natural world, puzzled over, feared or worshiped. In an audacious plan, Birkeland intended to spend a whole winter on the mountaintop to study the Lights, which were known to appear in this region more frequently than anywhere else in the country. It was not only their beauty that compelled him and his fellow scientists to make this dangerous trip, but their challenge. He had a theory that, if he could prove it, would solve the riddle of the lights and overturn conventional wisdom about the solar system and the earth's place within it. For him, the Lights marked the threshold between the visible and invisible worlds; they were the link between the planet and the vast, uncontrollable and unseen forces that shaped the universe." Lucy Jago - 'The Northern Lights'

After reading Birkeland's biography I felt inspired to have a go at illustrating its first chapter, and in particular the scene of the expedition's arrival at the observatory, where they encountered the aurora for the first time. I've mocked up the rest of the chapter as a short comic, but I have a few other things on the go at the moment and I don't know when I'll have a chance to finish it. Anyway, I hope you like the preview!

The third (and perhaps the last for a while) in a series of music portraits. This guy has produced a staggering amount of good music in the last few years and collaborated with a bunch of really interesting people. It's definitely worth checking out his stuff if you don't know it. As for the portrait itself, I have mixed feelings about how it turned out. I didn't think it was interesting enough as an ink drawing, and getting the shattered glass to look right took a bit longer than expected. Still, it seems like an appropriate element considering all the anguish in his songs;"if tears were liquor I'd have drunk myself sick". Amazing.
