Ooh, I'm so excited to hear your plans for the Postcard Claire!
I love Ronald Searle's work, it's bonkers and anarchic but also so joyful! I have his book of wine-themed illustrations (There's Something in the Cellar..) and I can picture him drawing these whilst absolutely sloshed! 😆
Thanks, Emma. I’m on (another) deadline so I’ll be writing the first instalment soon. Did you know Ronald Searle drank champagne everyday? He said the bubbles helped him to think. There’s a great short clip of it on YouTube if you search, an interview he did for tv
Hahaha. I have about 10 of his books, maybe more. I found a copy of A Christmas Carol that he illustrated in a local second hand shop and I assumed it would be £200 or more… it was £10 and I almost cried with joy and the shop seller thought I was deranged 😂

Oh my goodness, what a legend 🤩 I'll search for that clip.
All the best with your deadline!
I am currently on the journey back to art and 39 years old. I look forward to reading more about your journey!
Fabulous! I hope it helps. I’ve never regretted it
I'm now off to find some vintage Ronald Searle!
😂 There’s not too much in the UK so I’ve been overjoyed when a spot something in a charity shop
Totally tantalising😁
Ronald Searle did the same for me! But I found his work on Pinterest—way less sexy 😅

hahaha! What a TREASURE! Leaving that shop like you just pulled a heist!
