Sunday, 19 April 2015. Craft Fair Weather Friends. On Saturday 11th April the accolade of my first market of the year went to  Three Thinking Collective. A group of small-business-owning ladies from Birmingham who have come together to put on their own craft events. Their debut market took place on a sunny day in The Prince of Wales beer garden in Moseley; soon bustling with punters looking to enjoy some independent shopping and hot dogs in the sunshine, all washed down with a cheeky pint. Well monthly i...

http://blog.louisebyng.co.uk/2015/06/bom-summer-camp.html

Monday, 29 June 2015. Last week I did some illustration work for a forthcoming children's summer school at Birmingham Open Media.

Sunday, 17 May 2015. This morning I am going to London. To buy a Heat magazine. For my first market in the capital; BUST Craftacular. Looking forward to meeting the other crafters and comparing paper cuts, as well as accessorising the inevitably lovely Craftacular crowds with some country fair / political party chic. Now y'all just have to pick your favourite. Thursday, 14 May 2015. Here are some of the things I thought about when creating it:. Continue Reading →. Friday, 8 May 2015. Two things are for s...

Saturday, 27 June 2015. Yurt Life: How The Light Gets In Festival. Wired and wellied, I stepped off the bus into a beautiful sunny Hay day. Walking through the winding book-laden streets, across a bridge over the River Wye - waving to the canoeists below - I arrived at the Riverside site of How The Light Gets In. Here are some of the greatest things that I uncovered when exploring the festival:. The Philosophy of Walking. A Rule of Tum. S pop-up burger restaurant. A temporary venture to feed the stra...

The Illustration Work of Louise Byng as seen from Earth.: Best Of The Biennale

http://blog.louisebyng.co.uk/2015/08/best-of-biennale.html

Tuesday, 18 August 2015. Best Of The Biennale. Picture the biggest exhibition you've ever seen and times it by 3. Then imagine there's two of them. Now throw in 89 pavilions representing an entire country each, and 44 collateral events across different locations, and there you have La Biennale di Venezia. Of course it would have been wholly inconceivable to get around it all during a 5 day stay, but here is a run down of the top ten tasty artefacts and experiences I consumed during my visit:. Amongst the...

Sunday, 12 July 2015. Growing Out: Thoughts On Turning 25. I turned 25 last month; as a June baby one of the last to do so amongst my friends. Across my 24th year Id started hearing a new phrase: Im getting too old for this. 25 Things That Get Harder After Age 25. 160;& #160; 25 Signs That Youre Having A Quarter Life Crisis.

Monday, 29 June 2015. How The Light Gets In. Could be considered the Hay Fringe; the cooler cousin to the famous Hay Festival. Just down the road. It was my second visit to this yearly celebration of writing, and this time I just strolled across for some mango lassi ice cream and a few talks, detailed below. Martin Rowson and Jean-Pierre Filiu. Why We Make Things And Why It Matters. Getting Creative With Rap, Rhyme and Reality. Steven Camden and Alex Wheatle. Inspired to get writing. One girl said th...

The Illustration Work of Louise Byng as seen from Earth.: Paying Artists Is Good For You

http://blog.louisebyng.co.uk/2015/06/paying-artists-is-good-for-you.html

Tuesday, 9 June 2015. Paying Artists Is Good For You. I attended a discussion at Eastside Projects entitled Not Paying Artists Is Bad For You. A public sounding board for the Paying Artists. The panel: Elizabeth Rowe. The ideas raised here have been rattling around my noodle ever since. Here are some of them:. SW shared that his mom will ask 'Are you busy? And then ask 'Are you busy with paid work? Was expressed by the audience, but this wasn't actually deemed necessary to secure fair payment. RC shared ...
