20 February 2007 Tiffany Squared

Brilliant - after months of correspondence with two galleries in the USA have finally got images of Baptism of Christ and Child with Gourds, two of the stained glass panels which Tiffany made from FB's cartoons. Smashing they are (probably not the correct word to use in the vicinity of glass).

2 February 2007 SGFA and babies

Reading a crit by Martin Hopkinson in Print Quarterly, XXIII, in which he notes that the Society of Graphic Art 'remains virtually unstudied'. Bells start clamouring. Crumbs, I was made an Honorary member of what is now titled the Society of Graphic Fine Art last autumn, and since FB was the first President, I think I am beholden to write an article.

Quickly contacted Martin who thought it a good idea, and Roger Lewis (current President) who also thought it a jolly wheeze, so must get cracking!

Another bit of good news - Agnews recently sent me a drawing of a baby they wanted identifying and there was something vaguely familiar about it - EUREKA - I suddenly realised that it's the baby in the nativity window at Bucklebury. So they are sending me a good image of same for FBSG.
