Salut Madames et Monsieurs,
With berets firmly on our heads and hastily drawn on goatee beards we were in a creative frame of mind this weekend. We did the inevitable; we painted a sign.
We started three months ago with simple crayola doddlings on paper that appealed to the DIY spirit of the Booth. Over the months they served us well but got scuffed, dirty and torn as if they were the beermat of a fidgety drinker. We've now retired them on a beautiful estate with lots of land and they will be propely looked after, alongside all their wilting papery brethern.
The new sign, in the parlance of our times, looks 'hot'. Indeed it is so 'hot' that to even stand near it requires you to take your jacket off. My brother came up with the design. Being a graphic-designer he banded about descriptions like 'Snakeoilman aesthetic' with abandon. Then we consulted the ever lovely Edd at Paintworks who kitted us out with acrylic, canvas and a brush. Four hours work on a one hour job and we had a new, vastly-improved Advice Booth sign!
We'll upload a picture shortly, but in the meantime imagine it for yourselves being as kind or cruel about our artistic abilities. Or alternatively you could see it in the flesh with your actual real human eyes this Sunday, the 15th.
Have a banana!
