Lockdown’s made me seek collaborations in new ways, since we can’t have any of the gigs and fringes that used to fulfil this drive to create and perform and be wild together.
In my film club there are lots of brilliant characters from all different professions, and Bea Watts @pink.ink.art is an illustrator and animator. Her films have a combination of childlike innocence and wicked humour that I particularly enjoy. See these examples…
Nadine wild Palmer @Nadinewildpalm is and author and actor and also the best person I know
At the moment she’s selling personalised Instagram backdrops decorated with things you love. I think I said something like eggs, rainbows, happy/sad, beautiful chaos, skulls and stormy weather.
I loved it so much I got one for my friend Nadine. She also likes eggs. Aaaand magpies, music, the moon, sixes, palm trees, hibiscus flowers, cocktails, books and crows.
As an artist , Bea’s poppy kitsch style would be a perfect companion for my YouTuber princess show Drink Your Pink. The plan now is to keep developing the live show and also make it into a film, incorporating her drawings and animations. This possibility fills me with excitement. And we need to find excitement where we can these days…
