Spoken Fables: Fist Of Nuns

How to play Fables:
– two people minimum;
– decide if you are playing a one, two, three or four word game (there’s no limit on the amount of words played, whatever is manageable given the number of people playing);
– designate who will write the story down (preferably someone with neat handwriting);
– someone start;
– direction of play is anti-clockwise (going against time);
– each person adds their words making a collective story;
– full-stops, commas, paragraph returns, speech marks, general punctuation, etc. can only be added by the person whose turn it is;
– stories can be as short or as long as you like;
– you’ll know when to finish;
– when finished read the story out to the group;
– publish/share or turn into a book if you can be bothered.

Once upon a time I died but then I awoke from visions of rubbish rolling down the avenue of remembrance Tuesday but something amazing happened on the sleigh bells ringing made me sound like no ring ‘o’ goes like a bucket of gin, tears of symphony, bitter-sweet and the sweat of Johnny Prince Billy (Connolly) who said more than anything I really enjoy frankfurters up my *rse all day long.

FIFA World Cup Charity Shopping

It’s quite nice seeing a piece of your design work in a charity shop. Put’s all the late nights into perspective.

Here’s the design work: http://petermccabe.co.uk/design/2006/index.htm

Born To Shop

Lots of friends, and friends of friends, have been asking where can they buy my art. I’ve never been one to overly flog my art, prefer giving it away, but in light of recent demand I’ve decided to set up shop. Here it is:
http://petermccabe.co.uk/shop.htm

The biggest sellers have been reproductions of ‘Miss Swan‘ from the Swans collection, red versions of ‘The Three Graces‘ and personalised ‘Make Life Simple‘ posters. Some originals are also available upon request. All reproductions are signed and printed using the giclée process. Giclée is a high quality inkjet (diffusion) spray which is printed onto heavyweight matte fine-art paper. Prices are reasonable (compared to the prices at The Piper Gallery in London). UK postage takes about one week and International postage takes about 2/3 weeks.

NB. Xmas orders placed now should ensure a delivery before Christmas Day.

St Peter’s Basilica in Rome

This is my drawing of ‘St Peter’s Basilica’. It took me about an hour and a half to create one warm and sunny afternoon in Rome. Lots of people stopped to watch the drawing in progress. In the early 4th century, Emperor Constantine, the first Christian emperor of Rome, ordered to build a basilica on Vatican Hill. The location was symbolic: this was the place where Saint Peter, the chief apostle, was buried in 64 AD. A small shrine already existed on the site but it was now replaced by a large church building. The new basilica, consecrated in 326 AD, was completed around 349 AD. This drawing was completed late 2012 AD.

This drawing is available to buy as a signed giclée print, along with others, via my website – there is a ‘Black & White’ version for purists and a ‘Vatican Purple’ version for Catholic priests.

The Three Graces in Liverpool

A little while ago I did a drawing of ‘The Three Graces’ in Liverpool. It took about an hour to create one very cold afternoon. My fingers were near frozen by the end of it. If you look closely you can see my boat parked out in front (I wish). Located at the Pier Head in the city centre of Liverpool, England, ‘The Three Graces’ are part of the Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City UNESCO World Heritage Site. The site encompasses a trio of landmarks:

1. The Royal Liver Building, built between 1908 and 1911, was designed by Walter Aubrey Thomas. It is a grade I listed building consisting of two clock towers, both crowned by mythical Liver Birds. The building is the headquarters of the Royal Liver Friendly Society.
2. The Cunard Building, constructed between 1914 and 1916, is a grade II listed building and was the former headquarters of the Cunard Line shipping company.
3. The Port of Liverpool Building, built from 1903 to 1907 and also grade II listed which is the former home of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board.

This drawing is available to buy as a print, along with others, via my website – it has been very popular amongst friends and relatives in Liverpool and abroad, you can usually tell which team they support by which colour background they choose.
