His illustration of the magician's assistant in Bedtime Stories is one of my favourite pictures by any artist ever. Just exquisite!

Exquisitely busy illustration by Stephen Cartwright showing the magician's assistant writing a long scroll on a desk in the middle of tall a room filled with magical paraphernalia.

Wife Kate did her first public event advertising her new arts venture Stitchety. She runs crochet, patchwork and sewing workshops for schools. I got to be her roadie for the day! She's not on here, but I'm sure she'd love a follow at www.instagram.com/stitchety if anyone's into that sort of thing!

Oh bravo! That is sensational. 👏

Simon Partridge @simonpartridge.com · 2d

A wonderful piece, thank you!

Simon Partridge @simonpartridge.com · 2d

What a thing of beauty. Thanks for sharing!

And popping all the bubble wrap afterwards is f'cking AMAZING!

Had the BEST time yesterday playing roadie for wife Kate. She runs stitch and yarn workshops at schools across Staffs & West Mids. She joined other arts orgs promoting their services to schools and youth services at Solihull Cultural Education Partnership's "Tea Party". Check out www.stitchety.com

Thank you! *lights cigar and waits for the pence to roll in*

Not particularly scandalous, but school lore said that out French teacher Mr Ayers was once the bass player for Judas Priest. He DID drive a sports car and had half shares in a light aircraft (he once took 3 lads from our class to France for the afternoon in it) so it seemed entirely plausible.

Just don’t forget my 10% 😆

Simon Partridge @simonpartridge.com · 4d

I feel like this might be a new side hustle!

Simon Partridge @simonpartridge.com · 4d

Pleased for you, obviously, but “put them straight on” has triggered a mental image of you unloading your tumble dryer naked so thanks for that 😳

This you, @rufushound.wtf?

That's such a great analogy. And it's so much more fun to watch an interview where you find out something interesting about the interviewee than just hear about the product they're peddling.

Someone clearly needs to go on an angle management course.

Simon Partridge @simonpartridge.com · 6d

I really did!

Simon Partridge @simonpartridge.com · 7d

How wonderful! I so enjoyed reading this thread. Thanks for sharing. What a fabulous adventure for you!

Fab. The last owl looks like a Lucha libre wrestler!

Simon Partridge @simonpartridge.com · 8d

You can. In fact I would go so far as to say you *must* - it's gorgeous!

Simon Partridge @simonpartridge.com · 9d

Congratulations. Looks fabulous!
