New Mod Quote Design:  

Brevity is the Soul of Wit 

From Shakespeare’s Hamlet

- with my modern Quotes, I enjoy a bit of cheekiness with puns.  But I will be brief.

Really looking forward to the new Coriolanus film! With Ralph Fiennes it’s got to be good. And a play so often overlooked for film or performance. War and politics, it’s a play that speak to modern times surely? Here’s the trailer on youtube.

(and of course I illustrated a Coriolanus design too!)

This winter I've been missing the old midwest snow: I made some frosty-looking jars for the London studio.  

For the snow effect:  Take one clean jar, spray throughly with inexpensive hairspray (give it a good coat.) Then blow cornstarch onto the surface while the hairspray is good and wet.  The more spray, the frostier the glass - an old prop department trick I love. 

You can pat the cornstarch one the surface to make it a more solid coat, or leave it a little spattered looking.  One more quick hairspray for good measure and you’re done.

Easy to wash jars and glasses clean again after the holidays as well with a bit of soap and water.
