RIP Hockney & (Art) school's out for summer 🤘 🌴 🍦🩲

What're you doing this summer? Are you having a little rest?

This episode is all about taking breaks and we have a wee look at our plans:

Helen is in her illustrator hermit cave for July to get the next Salty Dog book finished before the deadline, with a nice August off as her reward. Tania is working on a museum commission for a 'Gossip Wall' in Berwick Museum, with plans to experiment with texture and line for the first time in ages. (Phwoarrrrr.) And Katie's about to have her first proper 6-week term-time break now that E's in school full time.

Whatever your plans are, have a good one! We'll be back in September.
