Did you watch ‘Kirstie's Homemade Home’ on Channel 4 last week? It’s good. You can watch it on 4oD Catch-Up. Kirstie Allsopp is on a mission to transform a dilapidated country cottage in Devon into the ultimate 'homemade' home, with everything either made in the UK, or made by her.

Bruegel, Flemish painter from sixteenth century, painted about 60 pictures of mostly peasant life. Big colourful and lively pictures, but what are not so well known are his drawings and engravings.
I have taken some of them and painted in the colour scheme that I imagine Bruegel might have chosen, in order to make them more accessable.
His interests in his society were as wide ranging as Shakespeare's.

C.R.A.S.H - A Postcapitalist A-Z

Take part in a free course combining art, activism and permaculture!

We are inviting creative resisters, unemployed workers and art activists to take part in our latest project - C.R.A.S.H: A Postcapitalist A to Z - in London’s financial district in June 2009.

The C.R.A.S.H Course is free two week long (1-14 June) intensive training combining permaculture design, art activist tactics and skills for building radically ecological and deeply democratic communities.

C.R.A.S.H is part of 'Two Degrees' Artsadmin’s festival of art and climate change.

I either draw stars or circles but today I drew a picture of a cake in the Everything meeting.

I decided to start drawing again yesterday and today I found this site. I quite like it.

Here is a link to the Discover Young Hackney programme of events which includes loads of workshops and taster sessions. Sadly I'm too old to get involved but please pass on to those lucky enough to fit in the age groups (10 to 20yrs as far as I can work out).
