BridieWhat's inside the guide
If cheese and pineapple on sticks, handbags lined up on the bed and somebody’s uncle dancing with his tie around his head bring back a few memories, I made this for you.
My free 1970s Family Do Survival Guide is a little illustrated trip back to the family gatherings we thought were completely ordinary at the time — and somehow remember so vividly now.
Inside you’ll find buffet etiquette, handbag politics, dance-floor survival, familiar family characters and a few questions that might bring somebody straight back into the room.
Why the family do?
I paint ordinary people and the little stories that surround them — the characters we knew, the lives that rarely made the history books and the moments that somehow stick.
Sometimes a painting makes you laugh.
Sometimes it reminds you of somebody.
Sometimes it does both.
