Just a few of the delightful 'home' postcards that could be dropping through the letterbox of your home next week...if you come and do a collage tonight. See below for details. (Click image to enlarge).
Don't forget the V&A's Friday Late event on Friday February 27th, Home Sweet Home. 6.30 - 10.00 p.m. Here's a link that tells you all about the various events based on the theme of home. It all sounds like good fun.
At the very epicentre of all that fun, I'll be hosting a workshop called A Postcard Home where you are invited to collage your idea of home onto a postcard. If you put your name and address on an envelope we will send a randomly-chosen original work of art postcard created by one of the other 'workshopees'. Or me. Or one of the Home Team. Above you can see the back of the postcard, which explains how it works.

Woman's World is recently out as a paperback in the USA. Here's a review and a Q&A interview from the Georgia Straight in Canada. 'Rawle is master in a field of one' sounded pretty good to me until somebody pointed out that coming first in a race where you are the only competitor isn't that impressive. Still, it's a nice review.
There's an exhibition and book to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Brighton College of Art (now the University of Brighton). I wrote a tiny piece about the fun I had working with Brighton illustration graduates (and others) on a project for Expo 2000 in Germany. Many of the team went on to form the illustration collective Peepshow and remain my lovely chums.
