Gormenghast

I went along to another of Jake Spicer's themed drawing events at The Old Market last night. It was in conjunction with the Brighton Illustrator Group so there were some familiar faces there including Geo Parkin (showing off his prowess on his iPad), Joe Moore, Amy Rogers etc...
The theme this time was Gormenghast which happens to be my favourite book (well, trilogy, in fact.)

by the genius writer and artist Mervyn Peake. Four models posed as the characters Steerpike, Fuschia, Cora and Clarice. Jake, who is also a huge fan of the books wants to stage a bigger event, possibly in the open air, next year incorporating more of the characters. If anyone can do it Jake can, so I'm keeping everything crossed for that. Here are my best efforts from the night.
