Also mustn’t forget the excellent Jim Le Fevre and Malcolm Goldie who saw Heavy Pencil out with a big bang at the ICA on the 27th May. This video shows how those who came along created zoetrope magic on Jim’s set up. Weiyee Cheung and Boyd made this excellent video.

Boyd a regular at Heavy Pencil showed me the wonders of Mr Squiggle. What with Rolf Harris and Mr Squiggle Australia really has led the way in the ‘can you guess what it is yet’ drawing!

Heavy Pencil East

Last week also saw another Heavy Pencil East at Catch 22 which by all accounts was a feast of live music and drawing. Andrew Rae is the fella behind it and the lovely poster below.

I believe that’s Adrian Johnson on the right who did HP at the ICA last year. The photo was kindly sent to me by Weiyee Cheung who along with her fella Boyd is a loyal HP supporter! Thanks Weiyee.

Last night was amazing

First they made a pencil.

Then they made some gloves.

Death by pencil

It’s not funny I know but Bob London just sent me this story:

‘Window cleaner killed himself with giant souvenir pencil, inquest hears’, Daily Mirror

Full Story

Could this be the kind of pencil?

Bob London pencils Ian Stevenson at the very first Heavy Pencil.

Count down to tonight

Can’t wait until tonight, it is going to be fluffing great! In the lead up to the evening’s proceedings I’ve asked the Jiggery Pokery ladies two questions.

What can people expect at tonight’s Heavy Pencil?

So tonight people will have a glimpse into what life would be like on the tour bus with Jiggery Pokery and Psychologist (ed. the boy in the pic below). People can expect a Trinny and Susannah meet Neil Buchanan for Jiggery Pokery’s very own Vegas-style Art Attack makeover.

If you were a pencil what grade would you be?

We’d be a scented, stacked, interchangable multi-colour glittery pencil with a novelty rubber on the end.

This Thursday!!
