and the official festival illustrator is – ME!
It’s a bit like being in a school Games lesson, when the captain is choosing her team, and longing (in my case with little hope) to be picked…
and now, here is the Hay Festival – oh golly, THE HAY FESTIVAL – calling out my name!
I loved doing the artwork for the Hay Fever programme, such a huge honour.
And what could be more fitting for the cover than an eager crowd of festival-goers arriving by hot air balloon, all agog for the thrills ahead.
The full programme is available to view and book here – and as I’m sure you know tickets go very fast indeed. I will be appearing twice on Sunday the 26th, at 10am with Bubble and Squeak and at 2.30pm with Martha and the Bunny Brothers.
So, mine’s a glass of Pimms in the sunshine and a raspberry ripple please –
see you there!
COR! That’s jolly well brilliant!!! Congrats Clara… so pleased for you and *Lucky Hay* I reckon to have such a class act gracing their brochure. I hope they keep you happy with Peach Bellinis galore and that your events go swimmingly. So sorry to not be there but I know you’ll do Bubble & Squeak proud!!! In bocca al Lupo!
Ah James, what a wonderful message and such kind words. I shall be sad on Bubble’s trapeze without you, but will try my darnedest.
I’m not sure what a bocca al lupo is… shall I order two of them at the bar to be waiting for us when you get back from your hols?? X
