Titivillus. hmmm, thinks thinks...

2009-08-05T08:13:00.000-07:00

Titivillus was a demon said to work on behalf of Belphegor, Lucifer or satan to introduce errors into the work of a scribe. The first reference to Titivillus by name occurred in Tractatus de Penitentia, c. 1285, by John of Wales. Titivillus has also been described as collecting idle chat that occurs during church service, and mispronounced, mumbled or skipped words of the service itself, to take to Hell to be counted against the offender. He has been called the "patron demon of scribes," as Titivillus provides an easy excuse for the errors that are bound to creep into manuscripts as they are copied.

This image is called Roadhouse,
I will soon have some old fashioned
silver screen movie poster style writing on it
for Jack Kerouac's On the Road

This is a view of a country preparing for war
in 1946, It is from the Martin Amis book Times' Arrow,
where everything goes backwards. It was a super difficult book to illustrate
but well worth it in the end.

An Illustration about love for a column called Lady Snobble

Curley's wife from Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck.
I was doing some research on the internet recently and was amazed at how many
kids where asking other people to do their homework for them.
Of Mice and Men is a wonderfully atmospheric book, Steinbeck's writing is so fluid and easy to read, on top of that it is only about 200 pages long. I can't believe they couldn't be bothered to read it for themselves.

happy new year

New years resolutions... I went to the yoga place today, it was closed. Foiled again.
So, instead I have resolved to keep this blog thing more up to date and do the yoga thing on Thursday instead.

possible exciting things afoot with illustrations for a guide book company.

also... it is snowing which i find a little spooky.

Exhibition review on spoonfed

Having already garnered rave reviews from culture aficionado Michael C Lewin of Notion and everyone's favorite illustrator Quentin Blake, it was only a matter of time before Katherine Hardy hit London with a solo show. And where better than Tenderpixel?

Just as the gallery sits amongst a raft of second-hand bookshops and peculiar bric-a-brac shops, so Hardy's work is strongly influenced by classic novels like Of Mice and Men and Gatsby.

Hardy's works are lightly playful and almost childlike in their simplicity. But beneath the whimsy lies a sense of something darkly sinister: both melancholy and ennui lurk a waitin'.

Tenderpixel is pleased to present the first solo exhibition of Royal College Graduate Katherine Hardy.

Introduction From the Tenderpixel Gallery

Tenderpixel is pleased to present the first solo exhibition of Royal College Graduate Katherine Hardy.

Featured in this exhibition are a series of illustrations created for a diverse range of novels. Hardy developed an interest for drawing content from mature stories, as these tales allowed for a much different style of illustration than children’s literature. Playful, serious, dark and mysterious, Hardy’s palette and style are offered to Tenderpixel viewers this May. It will truly be an exhibition with many stories to tell.
