Chico - on the Croisette!


He says welcome to Celebrity no no land as I drew him after we'd been at the Martinez, where Joe Cocker sang to us live.

The MAKING OF PLUS ONE


At Cannes there are two teams making movies. The first the 24 hour film challenge, where a number of short film makers grab footage over this weekend to compete for the best 24 hour short shot in Cannes. The second, a feature film directed by Mary McGuckian "The Making of PLus One". Yesterday I sketched the cast, Jennifer Tilly and Michael Eklund shooting their boat scene, capturing flash moments of them climbing onto the top deck screaming for more champagne, laughing and asking where's Clooney!!!! It was the perfect picture of a moment here where what you reach for is not only champagne but the stars! The sketch sees them Ms Tilly balanced on the shoulders of Mr Eklund. They both asked how I knew what they were doing as I had not seen the action above on deck! I said it's the power of my imagination! I could read between the lines...they loved the cartoon moment.
