Very happy to announce that Kent has won the bid to host the 8th @BritAesthetics PG conference! 🎉🎉
The theme of the conference will be "Aesthetics and the Body" (more details soon). Many congratulations to the organisers, @al_jato, C.A. York, and Hans Maes.
Excellent musings on models during the panel discussion with JJ Delvine, Jean Wainwright, @LondonDrawing and Graeme A Forbes. It was such a pleasure to host you and hear your insights. Image in the background is from London Drawing!

From an excellent opening talk mapping out modelling & authorship by @pakes_anna, to an inspiring Dominic Blake, and invigorating AW Eaton on fatness & life modelling. Thank you everyone who joined & helped create such a wonderful day of conversation & exchange! A success!🎉🧑🎨
Thank you for the great questions you asked at the symposium, @al_jato, and for these amazing drawings!!🔥 A wonderful trace and impression of the event!
Thank you @_caesthetics and @DebaeneAurelie for the AMAZING @LifeModelSymp this weekend. I was still recovering yesterday but it was such an illuminating event! Here are a couple of quick sketches, which I felt were an appropriate way of recording the conference.
