Hi Sue, Thanks for your kind words. My instagram is biddy_illustration Cheers, Brigid

Hi, My name is Brigid, I live in East Dulwich and I draw original illustrations on a commission basis. An illustration is a brilliant personalised, one of a kind gift. The process is easy. I ask you a series of questions and from you answers I propose a design. We settle on a design, it can be altered and added to at this stage. All prices can be viewed at biddyillustration.com/prices I am attaching a couple of images of works completed recently. The one with the lion was commissioned by a woman for her husband to celebrate their relationship. The one with the tiger was for a newborn from her mum. Her background (Australian/English) is woven into the drawing, her name is Wren. Please get in contact today for an obligation free chat about your ideas. [email protected] I work from Home on East Dulwich Road, East Dulwich

There is a locker Service on East Dulwich road in the petrol station. :)

I have a friend, Matthew Jones who I worked with. He is a great carpenter and has started making bespoke sheds in SE London. He is based in Catford. I think the easiest way to connect would be via instagram @Matthew.jones, he doesn't have a website. Or I could private message you his number if you don't use instagram. Cheers, Brigid

YUM! Are you doing the North Cross Road market?

Try asking at Aneto. East Dulwich Road.

I think it is currently occupied by Guardians. They were fixing the place up recently. Might be worth wandering over and having a chat. They seem quite approachable. Or alternatively, you could contact the guardian company. off the top of my head I am not sure how they are but there is usually a sign on the building. Cheers, Brigid

Hi Super-T, What type of thing are you looking for? I am an artist and I primarily do illustrations and sculpture. I have done work painting murals with stencils, spray cans and painting with a brush. Last year I did a simple butterfly on a wall for a ballet school (the butterfly is their logo). They wanted an image that kids could take a picture in front of. (see picture attached). I'll also attach an image of my illustration work. It could easily be translated to painting. I have done works using stencils and painting different coloured layers. This could be an option if you are looking for a graphic work. I could send you through images via email. I would be happy to chat to you about your ideas. I am very flexible and looking for projects. I'm on instagram @bid_vid and @biddy_illustration Cheers, Brigid

Hello, I recently had an exhibition at Jeannie Avent Gallery and met some fellow local East Dulwich Residents. I am an artist. I make illustrations for kids (though I they appeal to adults too!). My work is black and white, and is custom hand drawn. I focus primarily on making work as gifts for newborns. An illustration is a great gift that isn't plastic and lasts a long time. You can see samples of my work here biddyillustration.com or in instagram @biddy_illustration I also had sculptural works in the show at Jeannie Avent. Some works were in timber and others were crabs made out of cans and old fabric. I had a couple of people ask me if I would be willing to make their child's old clothes into an artwork or sculpture. I would be more than happy to. Get in contact if you would like to discuss an idea! I am attaching a sample of an illustration commission. The badger is for the English Dad, he is holding an oak leaf for his British heritage. The mum is South Australian, hence the Australian Magpie and vine leaves for the Barossa Valley. The child was born in 2020, represented by the Pangolin and she is a Gemini, the Gemini Constellation is in the sky. On the moon there is a faint outline of a tennis ball as the parents met playing tennis. I came up with these ideas in response to the answers given to simple questions I gave the client. Don't hesitate to contact me. I live in East Dulwich and am happy to meet in a park or cafe to discuss ideas.

IT is not a long term solution but if you need to ease the pain a little lie on your back, with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Your feet need to be a little wider than your hip width and then let your knees fall together. (I hope I have explained that alright). It releases the lower back a bit and stops those electricity pains you can sometimes get when you lie down initially. Good luck :)

It is really grim. I'm an artist and I work making props and doing installations for companies. I am not picky about work but because most of my experience is practical rather than administrative there is very little work about. I have been out of work since the end of March. I had a couple of interviews but between interviewing and a follow up the job disappeared because the companies' situations were precarious. I guess all you need to do is apply, apply, apply. GOOD LUCK! I took a big leap of faith and am putting on an art show currently at Jeannie Avent Gallery (till the 14th). It has been nice to see people out and about in East Dulwich and appreciating being able to go into Art Galleries again. Hopefully, I'll sell some work too!

Dear Neighbours, I am having an exhibition at Jeannie Avent Gallery (3-14th July) and to celebrate I am giving away the first edition of 2 Lino prints. To register to go in the running visit my Instagram biddy_illustration. This is one of the works, it is called "Self Preservation," and was made in response to lockdown. I am trying to spread a little love and hopefully joy in these somewhat difficult times. Cheers, Brigid

Dear Neighbours, I, Brigid Vidler/Biddy Illustration am having an exhibition at Jeannie Avent Gallery (14 North Cross Road) from the 3rd-14th of July. Open 10-5 Tuesday - Sunday. The exhibition comprises of sculptures and illustrations many of which were created during lockdown, but it also a few previous key works of hand carved timber which frame my practice. There is something for everyone and I would love to use the exhibition to get to know more people from the area. I create original illustrations as gifts for children and newborns and it would be lovely for you to be able to see samples of my work. You can view the work from the street if you do not wish to enter the space. Also, if you are Shielding or cannot leave the house I am offering to do Zoom/Whatsapp Tours. Please reply to this post if you would like to arrange a virtual visit. I am running a giveaway of 2 linoprints which are hung in the show on Instagram. For more information about the show and the prints please feel free to visit @biddy_illustration I look forward to seeing you there virtually, through the window or in the space with a mask. Thank You, Brigid

Thank you

Hello, I need some A3 images scanned and was wondering if someone could recommend a place which has reasonable pricing. I just got quoted ?15 for 3 scans. Is this normal? I can't afford that much. It is on textured paper so I am not sure how well it will scan. Thanks in advance Brigid

I make Custom Hand Drawn Illustrations for kids and newborns. Commissioning an Original Artwork made easy. The perfect gift for someone expecting a baby, a newborn or for your child. https://biddyillustration.com Instagram @biddy_illustration Pricing and a 'how to' guide are available on my website. Please don't hesitate to get into contact. I live in East Dulwich. Once social distancing measures are relaxed and we are all safe and healthy I would be more than happy to meet in person. In the meantime you can contact me via email, through my website or via Instagram. It is the perfect gift for someone you love at an affordable price! Please note that all my prices on the website are in Australian dollars (I'm from Australia). I am hoping to be able to configure the site to have prices in pounds when it detects a local website... In the meantime prices in pounds are half that quoted in Australian Dollars.

Sorry It is very late but they were open this morning.

HI Wee Quinnie, I am in a similar situation. I've had asthma since I was a kid. While I have for the most part grown out of it, I still do occasionally get flare ups. Luckily I know my triggers (changes of seasons....usually linked to hay fever) and getting sick. It is frustrating feeling strong and wanting to help, but being limited by this. Keep yourself safe! By looking after yourself you won't end up (touch wood) needing medical help, thus HELPING!. I am looking for work that I can do remotely, either on the phone or internet and will post it here if I get any leads. Stay well.
