Butterscotch Sundae

I saw The Double (directed by Richard Ayoade) yesterday and it was really good: Richard Ayoade is sucha babe and Submarine (his debut) is my all time favourite film, so The Double had a lot to live up to. It wasn't quite as good, but the cinematography was so fab and the cast was spot on. 

I've spent the past week watching a ton of films, drinking tea, not leaving the house and listening to The Velvet Underground on repeat so idek what state that has left me in..
I have exams very very soon so everything is becoming very stressful, but I found some time to draw, so my art coursework is all finished and I can do my own drawings so here are some scans too..

The talented Amber took some fab photos of me in Regents Park a few weeks ago, inspired by Margot Tenenbaum (Royal Tenenbaums)("I'll have a butterscotch sundae I guess..") which was super cute and Springy, because it was lovely and sunny and we walked through daffodils and talked about summer.. it was a splendid affair
Here's one (and you can see the others here)

Some Candy Talking

Yesterday I got send my copy of Wes Anderzine, a fab zine devoted to art and writing inspired by Wes Anderson's films. I contributed a lil drawing to it which is super exciting as well?! 

On the subject of Wes, I saw The Grand Budapest Hotel a week ago and it was absolutely top notch, Ralph Fiennes was an total darling, a brilliant new addition to the Anderson family. It was one of Wes' most aesthetically beautiful films so far in my opinion, particularly because of the pastel pink of the Mendl's packaging and hotel walls, and the lovely shots of the dark blue hotel at night with the little yellow windows. 

I met up with Dani in half term too, which was super cute - we wandered around Brick Lane and Shoreditch, ate bagels and chewed bubble gum. I got some disposables developed too, from Christmas and New Year.

Peace and Love

♥ Me n Doug in a friendly headlock ♥

I just realised I haven't mentioned the most glorious thing ever that happened to me about a week ago..
Peace are one of my favourite bands ever; they all have the most beautiful clothes and hair, and their music's pretty fab as well. So on Thursday, a friend of mine asked me to come to the Fly Awards to see Peace live so I was super excited. Then, when I got there, I realised it was not only Peace performing, but Bombay Bicycle Club and The Horrors too!!!!! We were sitting on the 1st level above the stage and then we looked down on the ground-floor and Peace and all their girlfriends were sitting right there at a table and they waved at us omg it was beautiful.

Peace played and oh it was heavenly, Harrison Koisser wore a super-cool technicolour jumper and a striped polo neck with the the most enviable black jacket and silvery shoes. They played a mix of several songs from 'In Love' and then they covered a Fatboy Slim song (which was my childhood jam) so it was pretty much perfect. 
Bombay Bicycle Club played songs from their new album, including Feel and Carry Me which was great.

The Horrors had the most over-whelming but brilliant light-show, with mulitcoloured rays exposing the smoky-black silhouettes of the band members as they played 'Still Life'. All in all it was super cool, but to top it all off, we waited by the back doors at the end, AND THEN SUDDENLY DOUGLAS CASTLE APPEARED.

He was wearing a tweed jacket and black polo neck, with a little spiky gold-cross around his neck, and it was all very lovely; he came over to us and we had the nicest conversation about how we'd seen Peace live last year and then he complemented my jumper and it was *delicious*. As I got the bus home I was heavily star-struck and listened to California Daze at least 5 times before I could consider going to sleep.
