Climate Change Fact Cards

Here's a handy business-card sized fact card to carry around in your wallet in case you bump into any climate deniers and need to give them something to remember you by. Yesterday a few Climate Rushers visited the offices of some of the newspapers who have insanely persisted in giving the impression that there is still a debate about whether climate change really exists (and whether it is really man-made), and handed out these educational calling cards. Click here to read about what they did.


Let me know if you would like some!

Lybster

I was really lucky to be able to take a group of students from The Prince's Drawing School to paint in the Scottish Highlands this summer in a tiny village called Lybster. Here are a couple of the paintings I did (click here to see more).


The new Climate Rush website

I am so thrilled that the new Climate Rush website I designed a year ago has finally gone live. I designed the layout and all the fancy technological stuff was done by Vanilla Storm . It all took a while as lots of us got distracted by other projects and the election over the past year, but now we're back with the Climate Rendezvous next week and hopefully the new site will help show all the brilliant things we've done since 2008 and inspire us and others to continue hosting creative protests. Here's a screenshot, but visit http://www.climaterush.co.uk to see the real thing.

The Climate Rendezvous

The Climate Rendezvous is this Wednesday. Here are the back and front of the flier Alice and I designed for it. The front image is inspired by an Edwardian-era image of two women holding a fruit basket that we re-drew in black-and-white, adding suffragette dresses, hats, sashes and trees:

Normal Morning at Aunty Elly's House

We've been staying at my Aunty Elly's house while we waited to move into our new place. This is a drawing I did in her garden one Sunday morning - she has the cigarette and dressing gown and Dax and Alice are the other sitters.

90%

This is from last year's diary but I've only just got around to inking it up.

Emily's Blog

I couldn't think of one of those hip cool blog names people have like squashedtoadface.blog or ratupadrainpipe.blog so after long consultation with Dax we came up with the succinct but playful 'Emily's Blog'. The other contenders were 'Emily Haworth-Booth's Blog' or 'Emily's Comics Blog', but they had too many long words in.

My plan is to start posting my new comics here because my website's too difficult to upload new stuff to (I made it myself and forgot to include a big red 'publish' button in the design) and a blog might be a better venue for publishing diary comics and little bits and pieces I'm working on anyway and hopefully getting some hip cool blog comments from unknown internet users, and maybe even from the handful of real humans I know and love.
