Gardenia mag again

This is rusco which translates as butcher's broom

and carrot

 Here's August, hibiscus

At the seaside!

Well, back in Milan now actually, but avoided getting burnt
with Bjobj 30 and 50 factor suncream, which I discovered
while drawing the after-sun for Gardenia in July.
Each month they write about beauty products with a
common ingredient.This is Viltellaria paradoxa from Africa,
shea or karité.

"1000 things to do..."

Well, actually it's "1000 cose da fare..."
as we're here in Milan (-:
Tomorrow morning we start on our
gargantuan task of writing all over
Piazza Leonardo da Vinci, or nearly all over
it - yet to be defined exactly how much
we'll be covering! Here are the Marino cards,
ready to take away. Our thanks to Giancarlo
and Martina Marino who have been incredibly
generous with the paint for this project!

goodbye June!

Pupi Solari

I was very excited to be asked to participate in the book
project celebrating Pupi Solari's birthday recently.
Here are the pieces I did, one of the wonderful house and
garden in Liguria and the other showing a dinner party with
all Pupi's favourite food, friends and family!

Last night - business cards went like hot cakes!!

That's good, we can soon print some more!
Thanks so much to all of you who came and to
Orti&Commenda for the organisation and delicious
aperitivo; despite the rain it was a fun evening.
I have also since discovered that the maps
will be up until mid-June, for anyone who didn't
make it last night.
