Across the street in the bedrock of inspiration that is Blaker street, you find many a colourful house, lots of torn garbage bags molested by seagulls and ticket inspectors prowling around every corner! But today I wanted to go into town because my internet is down how-now-brown-frau-cow… but also i remembered i needed to return my mates honey DVD (u know Jessica i’d-give-my-right-leg-to-be-ur-boyfriend Alba, yeah that one) and Jack Penate CD.
So i clean my manor and head to the library to book some much needed Internet time and also buy some blue tack for my wall… stop off to return the dutty goods and get seduced in for a cup of tea which i apologize for not even drinking!!…. instead i stumble across a tiny little ickle firecracker of an illustrator called ‘Isabel Greenberg’… first i think challenge to the Gurn Boy’s turf but then i warm to the pint sized lady’s illustrations… peep her out… here are a tasty portion of some of her images but follow the link down the rabbit hole and if u find that white rabbit smack the shit of of that fucker and tell him he owes me money….
Her work reminds me of the graphic illustrator Joe Sacco who illustrated ‘ Palestine’ and Marjane Satrapi ‘Persepolis’…
