The little pub on St Martin's Lane

The final drawing I made whilst on a sketchcrawl with urbansketchers from London and Paris on Monday.  I've walked up and down St Martin's Lane loads of times and never seen this lovely little pub with it's very unusual balconies.  I added colour later at home but I think I prefer the B&W version.

Cast and crew

A closer look at some of the cast and crew from the TURF Projects Kickstarter film.  They invited me along to sketch at the shoot and the finished film can be seen here at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/493771737/no-turf-unturned?ref=live 

P.S. I posted these in a larger compilation last week but as they only have a limited time to reach their target. I hope you don't mind if I give them another plug!
