Showing posts with the label waxworks

2nd December 2012

James Bond fans had a double helping this year with the Olympics Opening Ceremony and the release of Skyfall, the 60th anniversary Bond film. Old friends of the calendar will know that we are big fans of fan art, and we loved this picture of Daniel Craig (yes, it really is him) taken from a "How To Draw" blog by Shoo Rayner . Yes, "Drawing teacher to the world" is his profession. And yes, Shoo is his name. If you want to see some other attempts, check out Daniel Craig line drawings on Google Images. Bonus beats: if you're ever in Great Yarmouth, don't miss the chance to see the worst wax museum in the world, it's Louis Tussauds House Of Wax . Many of the figures are almost unrecognisable, it's so bad it's good. Here's their Daniel Craig:

Louis Tussauds

I've never been to Madame Tussauds, as I can't afford it. Or at least I don't have the patience to queue up with Japanese children with identical backpacks. Or maybe it's lost all credibility since the Planetarium no longer has Patrick Moore narrating it and instead has Dick and Dom (or whoever). Anyway, I haven't been and at the age of 38 seem increasingly unlikely to. I have however been to Great Yarmouth, erstwhile seaside resort and home of customised car racing along the prom. Seriously, it's like 'The Fast and The Furious' with inbreeding. And fab Yarmouth attraction Louis Tussauds was in the news recently due to the unrealistic nature of the waxworks' faces. Have a look at the pictures above and see if you can guess who they are. Answers below. You could email them to all your colleagues and keep the Bank Holiday spirit going for 5 more minutes on Tuesday morning by laughing hysterically at the almost-but-not-quite-recognisable heads. 1.
