I GOT A TABLET.

Whut

So...

I was going into the realms of uber stylized with Fabien, and I reached a point... ala first image, where I thought.. no. I like cartoons, but this is not working for me anymore.

So I'm trying again.

The plot for his story changes so much, at first I had snippets of a fairytale sort of thing... but no, its going to roll loosely like this.

Fabien looooves old people, in particular old men. He's a strange creature, 300 years old... perfectly senile, but also still a creepy giant feral child. He likes the very young, because they are prone to misfortune, and the very old... same reason.

He's going to be following this man, I haven't invented him yet... this lonely widower I guess, who sits in Parisian café's a whole lot. Fabien watches him, creates soft, beautiful havoc... and also triggers other unlucky troubles which will likely happen in small areas of each image. He's a bad omen, he can't help it.

Because he's... utterly bonkers, he has a lot of strange lapses in memory, he flips back to his grisly Revolutionary past a lot. Good, because in those scenes I establish his history, but without having to meticulous show it in length. It'll be like.... a day in his life, I guess.

His long, dusty life.

So I'm starting my new project... designing 8 illustrations based on the recorded information of events that happened at Red House. AHAHAHAHA I'M TERRIFIED.

Websites, and terrifying new project. HERE WE GO.

Okay so all those stamp designs down there got made into lovely official rubber stamps for my darling Red House... allow me to wax lyrical about it again, since I adore the place.

We have a very exciting exhibition getting set up... one of Janey's prop dresses has come to us, a beautiful chair, some Philip Webb candlesticks... ah so much LOVELY. I can't wait for it to get all set up.

I'm also beginning 8 illustrations based on the wonderful stories of Red House, and I am very excited and also very SCARED about it. Drawing William, Janey, Dante, Lizzie, Ned, Georgie... the girls... in their youth, in Red House... arrgh! Keep your fingers crossed that I do them all the justice they deserve!

I'm also working on a NEW website, www.carlabull.com ... which is very exciting, since my old one was horrid. This one, I hope, will eventually be lovely and professional. Aha... don't look at it yet, its full of test paragraphs and rubbish.

BUT THIS POST ILLUSTRATES HOW MUCH IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW, OKAY? BYE.

Red House stamps

Just some rubber stamp thingys for a workshop for the oh so lovely Red House. Hard not to get inspired with all those Morris designs everywhere!
