Early seaside memories


Ever since I was a small child growing up in a rather grey northern industrial town I always looked forward to a rare trip to the seaside. My nearest seaside resort was Blackpool and a day out to the coast was like stepping out of a monochrome life into one of glorious technicolour. As a child I was always fascinated by beach shops selling row upon row of colourful buckets and spades, sticks of rock and those wonderful little hand held windmills that would spin wildly in the breeze. From the donkey rides on the sandy beach to the brightly lit trams and illuminations....I loved it all. Here are a few of my illustrations on the project so far...
