Cathy's Art Diary

Fun exhibition at the Cartoon Museum celebrating 30 years since the release of the animation “Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers”. The show outlined how the film was made with a large collection of the original concept drawings and story boards. There was a fascinating section, with a video, looking at how the train scene came about and was executed. Even today people were standing and laughing at it. There was also a selection of figures and props from the sets as well as a display of merchandise from the time of its release. Closes 16 April 2024    

Fun sculpture trail round the City of London of large and small sculptures of the Aardman character Morph. Morph is a fun reminder of my childhood and a good simple shape to take decoration. Organised by Whizz-Kidz, the UK’s leading charity for young wheelchair users, and put on by Wild in Art, the trail of 79 large and small pieces has step- free access throughout. There is an excellent app which is easy to use and includes a map and the ability to log the Morphs you find via a code number. The figures look particularly good against London landmarks. As I write this I’ve see 43 around London Bridge, the Guildhall and St Paul’s but I’ll certainly be looking for more.   STOP PRESS: My final total was 51 of 79. Closed 20 August 2023
