Some actual illustration

I realised that this blog is called bowerbird-illustration and it's somewhat scant in the illustration department so here is some work by one of my favourite illustrators Penelope Dullaghan. I saw her quote on Flickr this morning and thought I'd share.

100 Things Challenge

I've never backpacked around the world, but I have been a student and I have lived out of suitcases while looking for flats in London, but could you survive/cope for a year with only 100 belongings?

It sounds a lot, but actually think about it, four seasons, holidays, entertainment, clothes!

It's an interesting concept, there are people in the world who have nothing, so this act of humility(?) could make us all rethink our lust for products. I'm quite intrigued, the rules are fairly flexible, I could count all my books as 1 item...

I'm a big fan of Penelope's work, and own a print of The Sweeping Print. Her work is narrative, delicate and soothing, take a look at her stuff, it spans editorial illustrations, painting, type and pattern.
