Blogging again, kind of, sort of

Hello there everyone out in the Blogosphere.

I have a new blog on Blogger (emmafork.blogspot.com) as, I've discovered, I can upload my photos directly from my phone to it. This is good as, for some reason, I can't mms or email photos. But I can blog them! so that's great!

This time next month I'll be travelling round scotland with Club Tromolo on our Tune Up Tour,
so watch this space for lots of live updates and photos direct from the tour bus, backstage and the B&Bs as we take our wonky cabaret around some of the most beautiful parts of Scotland.

I've hotlinked the blog to my facebook page, so my facebook friends can keep updated and laugh at lots of silly photos of us mooning out of the bus, etc.


In the meantime: Here's the Tromolo dates:
Wed 9th April: Classic Grand, Glasgow
Friday 11th April: Harbour Arts, Irvine
Saturday 12th April: East Grange Loft, Forres
Tuesday 15th April: Aros Centre, Skye
Wednesday 16th April: Lyth Arts Centre, Wick
Thursday 17th April: Gable End Theatre, Orkney
Friday 18th April: British Legion, Lerwick, Shetland
Tuesday 22nd April: An Tobar, Tobermory, Mull
Thursday 24th April: Eden Court Theatre, Inverness

Special offer: turn up to see the show and receive a free pint! (ie, I'll buy you one ;-)

Leggy and big Leggy

On Saturday 15th March, artist Bruno Gallagher made a 6 foot portrait of Miss Leggy Pee. The portrait was based on a photo from a session Bruno & I did a few months back. The photo was enlarged by hand as a line drawing onto a paper base 4 feet by 6. Bruno then colourised and brought the image to life using printed A4 sheets, coloured card, a small collection of chocoloate wrappers (quality brands, of course), and a good number of pritt sticks.

Over the course of the creation of the picture (it's not a painting, cos it contains no paint) I took a series of shots and uploaded them to this blog.

The creation of the portrait was filmed by Mr Jon The Hat and will be screened on the Club Tromolo Tune Up Tour.
