Sunday, 19 October 2014. Iggy Pop and Rock n' Roll vs Children's Publishing. The recent speech given by Iggy Pop for the John Peel lecture on BBC Radio 6, Free Music in a Capitalist Society.

Iggy Pop at the John Peel lecture (image courtesy BBC). I also give you the UK children's illustration market! I think there are a lot of parallels with pub...

Monday, 13 October 2014. John Shelley Exhibition at NNUH. This past month has been very hectic, not only with illustration work, but also setting up another major exhibition, a career retrospective at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital. The central corridor is a busy thoroughfare through the hospital, used by staff,. Patients and visitors. I hope that the illustrations offer a brief imaginative escape. From what can be for many a very traumatic experience. The Boat in the Tree. 2007, Front Street).

shelley scraps: November 2014
http://johnshelley.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Monday, 24 November 2014. From King Smelly Feet. There it lies in my inbox, another tantalising proposition for illustrators. Carefully written, brimming with enthusiasm and creative aspirations, how this wonderful project will be seen by all kinds of important people. it all looks very exciting. So I scroll down for the important details: what's the brief? When is the deadline? And, crucially, what is the fee. Although there is no fee for participation this will be a great opportunity for exposure".

shelley scraps: Tokyo Sketchbook Part 1
http://johnshelley.blogspot.com/2014/09/tokyo-sketchbook-pt-1.html
Wednesday, 10 September 2014. Tokyo Sketchbook Part 1. Over the summer in Tokyo I filled a sketchbook with pen drawings. I always sketch a lot when I'm in Japan, but it was particularly so on this trip, perhaps I was driven by the shear joy of being back in the city, it was as if something had been unlocked. Some of these drawings were the kind of fantasy ideas and escapist shenanigans I regularly doodle. One or two were observed sketches inside restaurants. People effectively wrap themselves in their ow...
