Bubbles at the Market
Good evening!
This is the last little post about my Canadian escapades, honest!
I visited a wonderful, buzzing market in a place called St. Jacobs, which had indoor and outdoor stalls where the Amish were working alongside ‘regular’ folk. All of the smells and colours were quite fantastic and it was a really brilliant trip!
I love to ‘people watch’, and there were some real characters! One such personality was a clown named Bubbles (I think I was drawn over by the balloon animals he seemed to be mass producing). Unfortunately it was very busy so I wasn’t able to stand and draw any of the Amish people’s beautifully understated outfits (photographing them isn’t very polite so I refrained), but I did make a small observational sketch from a vantage point!
If you are ever in Southern Ontario, it’s really worth a visit.

Update!
Good Evening!
I would like to direct your collected attentions to the all new misspearlgrey.com!
New features include a ‘Motion’ section (which is soon to feature an array of projects in which either my illustrations or creations appear) and a shiny new specialist ‘Fashion’ section! I’m so excited with the new look and I hope you will love it as much as I do.
Please do pop by and have a look around at your leisure!

P.S,
A huge thanks goes out to Andy Tyrrell, who has helped me produce something that looks so lovely!
Bourgeois & Maurice
Good afternoon!
A fun little illustration for Amelia’s Magazine today, which features Cabaret darlings Bourgeois and Maurice. Their outlandish fashion sense makes them such a delight to draw! Their new show ‘Can’t Dance’ (click for a little promotional video!) is on now at Sadler’s Wells Theatre, a venue dedicated to people that can actually dance.
You can read the full interview with the duo by clicking here.
