The hangover after the big man's birthday seems to be waking up to find that the Dickensfest never ends...
Here's his house in Portsmouth I drew for the excellent Guardian Dickens podcast series.
I enjoyed doing this one: a change from the maps. I especially liked trying to show the outside and the inside of the house at the same time. Not easy...
But that leads me to a project I hope you'll support.
A N Devers writes wittily about writer's houses, why we visit them, and what literary tourism is, for Lapham's Quarterly. While visiting the UK she's undertaking an exhausting tour of 15 houses in 15 days.
She's asked me to participate by drawing postcards of Dickens' London house and The Brontë's house in Haworth, plus a map showing the houses she visits. If you support the project via Kickstarter, you could receive anything from a personal postcard or a gift-shop souvenir, to a limited-ediiton signed print or a piece of my original artwork.
The project has only been up for 24 hours and A N already has an impressive number of backers. Pledges start at $10 - go check it out!
As one of the (promised) backers who is looking forward to owning a Badaude print, I heartily encourage everyone to check out this project. It only goes if enough like-minded people agree by Monday!
