Why are we in black & white?
“I bought a book: How to Draw Noir Comics by Shawn Martinbrough. He says you have to draw from life or photos … and to start taking lots of photos in black & white.
Does it make us look sinister?

Ta-da! You could draw us like this.
“Yes Mum.”
“Finally, you enter a big department store’s fabric sale. Feeling very tired, you offer up a little prayer. And my sister unearths a roll of linen …
… with a butter yellow background, birds, flowers in coral, a little pink frog or two … and leaves the exact colour of your carpet …
The moment of truth is that you need 11 metres and there are just 11 metres left on the roll. Voila! Very happy and tired, you return home … with my sister and niece carrying a very heavy parcel.”
What a wonderful story, if I do say so myself. Just like a fairy tale. But why have you waited so long before finishing the telling of it?
“Sorry, Mum, I discovered Pinterest.”
