On Saturday, alongside 100 or so elaborately attired ragamuffins, I nerded out at an event for the release of Dave Brown and Noel Fielding’s new book 'The Scribblings of a Madcap Shambleton' in Golden Square, Soho .
It was a pretty mixed bunch, including at least 5 sporting Noel's hair, one woman who had been at the square since the night before, 1 man dressed as an elephant, several hardcore emos and 1 impressively dressed vintage couple. The crowd were buzzy and emitted an impressively loud scream when the duo appeared and began the main event, painting a billboard with a wonderfully colourful and childlike painting of a tiger sporting red boots and 2 ghosts.
Twas an eclectic mix of painting, comedy, medieval music and breakdancing hedgehogs.There was also a painting area for people to create their own witty masterpieces, the best title going to 'The mixed Emotions Cardigan'. I also got my copy of the book signed, which was definitely the highlight of my week :) Yay for Painting and Noel Fielding and Dave Brown!
