This is the first document of a few pieces that have inspired me, from childhood and later on in life. Children’s books: the story of, Marigold In Godmother's House by Joyce Lankester Brisley, and The Princess And The Pea by Hans Christian Anderson. I love the illustrations in these books.
...Did you sleep well... The Princess And The Pea. Illustration by Edmund Dulac.
And a few years ago I stumbled upon The Great Bed Of Ware at the V&A in London. I was so bowled over by its size - it’s colossal. And I would love to spend the night in it. Many have had lots of fun and slept in this over the years. It was a bed in a guesthouse in Ware, Hertfordshire, around 1590. Graffiti from its inhabitants can be seen engraved into the woodwork.
QUALITY I really like this blog, now im not 1 for adding links in my replies but I feel this is a great exception, I read a story like this http://www.bedroom-graffiti.co.uk/ great bunch of graffiti artists called the Graffiti Kings.
ReplyDeleteNice. Cheers for the link. I would like to document one if those graffed rooms. Would fit nicely with the first room I shot back in September, Carly and Jim 'Penny' Penfold the Stencil Artist.
