Bus artist

Denise Poole is "artist in residence" on the Bournemouth city buses. As she moves around the city, she sketches what she sees. Not a series of sketches, mind you. A day's journey results in one sketch. If it looks like a bunch of squiggly lines on paper to you, then perhaps you're a philistine who can't appreciate art. [BBC News Dorset]

YES! YES! I admit it! I'm a philistine!

Maybe I am a philistine. Or could it be that the bus company hired an artist that gets "travel sick" and can't look at her work while the bus is in motion. How Very British of them! :lol: :coolsmile:

Philistine status: confirmed. Hope she's not being paid for that garbage out of taxpayer pockets.

I do that while talking on the phone and it looks better too.

Somehow that looks like a drawing of an odor - and not a pleasant one.
'Bournemouth with the breeze coming from the docks on the Poole backwater channel, on a warm day'?
