Comics

Posted by anikainlondon on November 9, 2009

I have decided to take a break from drawing comics in boxes, until January. In the mean time I’d quite like to draw lots of little comics, not in boxes. I like boxes n’all… it’s just way more time consuming.  Here are a few non-box comics I drew on the tube yesterday:

Fireworks always remind me of the Stars song Celebration Guns. It’s such a beautiful song, find it if you don’t know it.

Baker Street ham & cheese croissants: £1.85.

It’s true.

These comics are much easier to digest too, I think. I hope you like them………. there’s plenty more where they came from.

Laughing Babies

Posted by anikainlondon on November 8, 2009

I really like drawing laughing babies and then giving the drawings stupidly long titles:

16 Babies Laughing at 16 Babies Laughing at 16 Babies Laughing

Baby Laughing At Riding A Tricyle Over Some Peas

Unspecified Number of Babies Laughing at an Unspecified Number of Babies Laughing at ‘Nuthin” but Really Finding The Word ‘Marzipan’ Funny.

Baby Laughing At Receiving Life Lessons From A Vulture Whilst Receiving Life Lessons From A Vulture

Baby Laughing At Eating A Cake With A Wooden Spoon Whilst Eating Cake With A Wooden Spoon And Watching Three Smaller Babies Laughing About Eating Cake In A Room With A Larger Baby Laughing At Eating Cake With A Wooden Spoon

Whenever people ask me what I’m up to these days I kind of want to just say ‘I draw laughing babies’. But I usually just opt for ‘all sorts…’.

Drawing with a stupid title

Posted by anikainlondon on November 6, 2009

Unspecified Number of Babies Laughing at an Unspecified Number of Babies Laughing at ‘Nuthin” but Really Finding The Word ‘Marzipan’ Funny.

I did plan on blogging this evening, but foolishly I decided to draw an A2 drawing of some laughing babies, which took up a couple of hours. I will blog about Allotment tomorrow and reply to anyone who has emailed me’s emails (sorry). Will also be heading to the Peggy Sue show at ICA… looking forward to catching Lulu & The Lampshades and Mechanical Bride too.

The reason the number of babies is unspecified is because it confuses me to count all those babies. You get a lolly if you can count them.

Baby Laughing At Riding A Tricyle Over Some Peas

Posted by anikainlondon on October 31, 2009

I have no explanation for this either…

Baby’s favourite song is OBVIOUSLY Ha Ha by Mates of State.

Map of the World

Posted by anikainlondon on October 22, 2009

I bought an A2 pad ages ago and I think it was only a matter of time before I drew the world… I like drawing maps:
