Radio on a page....

So here are a few of the 61 drawings I did on my graphics tablet while sitting in on James Valentine’s radio show yesterday afternoon, from 1 to 3 pm: ABC radio 702. I had a LOT of fun - really enjoyed doing it. I was sitting off to the side where a camera was picking up what I was doing...so it felt a lot like sitting at home listening. Which meant that whenever James or a guest talked to me I got a shock..I mean...how spooky when you’re listening to the radio and suddenly the presenter asks you a question or a guest wants to be introduced!!
I got a jolt as I drew away and every now and again realised that people could see EVERYTHING I was drawing...oops...
And so it begins - I set up my laptop and graphics tablet and am wired up to go on air .
The topic? It’s a chick show discussing...boobs and bras! We look at engineering of bras...
...different sorts of bras...
...problems with bigger bosoms (which some find inconvenient and uncomfortable, and others enjoy)...
...the lost art of trained bra fitters...
...kits to make your own bra...
...and bras designed for good strong support.
Then we moved on to middle distance running, a forgotten sport which is suitable for people of all sizes.
Next we explored posture and how it affects how we feel, not just the other way around. One shy fellow didn’t feel he was confident enough for the posture he was asked to try...
The lovely physio who regularly visits the program commented that while James Valentine tends to slouch, he has a posture of confidence.
The conversation then turned to posture associated with laptops and how more and more these days kids are spending a lot of time on them.
The zany proprietor (from Monsieur Camambert) of the Camelot Lounge came along and shared his love of camels (I need to practice drawing camels)...
...and his love of gypsy music ... as soon as it started to play I loosened up and LOVED drawing along to it!!!!...
...and a second track...
...and a third track of gypsy piano music...
...not forgetting the camels...
...then a piece which changed tempo midstream...
.........
...and we had a peek into how traditional music is passed down from generation to generation, and changed, or not...
...and heard gypsy swing played on a hammer dulcimer....
...then a delightful trio.
Host of the show coming up next, Richard Glover, came in to introduce some of the topics he would be covering. Richard is proud of not having used shampoo for...years?...and how his hair is “fluffy as a kitten”...
...and he mentioned that a recipe for the Ultimate Christmas Pudding would be revealed.
We next moved on to some things which we do the RIGHT way, but which everybody else does differently and which they keep telling us to STOP doing immediately! Hummpffhhh!!!! The way phone numbers are recited irked one listener...
...another listener was irked by the way his wife loads the washing machine...
...a third listener pronounces “W H” as “H W” the way she was taught at school...possible coming from a Scottish background...and keeps getting pulled up by others...
...who try to correct her...
...while one chap explored the changing of the fork from one hand to the other while holding a plate...he keeps it in his left hand and is accused of being lefthanded...
...and Louise hates how “zero” is called “Oh” when people are reciting numbers. She is a “Zero” person.
Another listener gets ribbed for putting corn kernels into everything - they are nutritious and delicious and highly versatile...
...while the final contribution was from an hygienic and thoughtful individual who washes her dishes before putting them into the dishwasher. “A dishwasher is not a food disposal unit” is the call to arms!
Then we all went home!!!!!!!!
