I've posted the full sketchbook put together, as you can see it when unfolded, and also bigger images in several parts to have a better look at all the sketches.
One of the highlight in this long "story" was when I met Jonathan Ross. He kindly invited me to spend the afternoon and evening backstage during the recording of his show "Late Night With Jonathan Ross" last month just before I left London.
You can see some of the sketches (images 5 and 6), of him with his dog "Mr Pickle" during the rehearsal, and also Samuel L. Jackson, Quentin Tarantino and K.T Tunstall. I had a fantastic time and was great to meet Jonathan Ross, he is such a nice guy!
I will now start a new long sketchbook in beautiful sunny California.

That is the greatest thing I've ever seen! LONG sketchbook-whodathoughtit? Gotta love those nipples & Tarantino's huge motherfuckin' chin is unmistakable!!
Bravo Stef-x
I agree with Matt.
C'est un scandale ! Moi qui venais de poster l'illustration la plus longue du monde sur mon blog, et voilà que je suis battu à plate couture.
J'aime mieux te dire que je suis pas content content (en plus la mienne est complètement floue vu que j'ai perdu l'original et que du coup j'ai scanné une diapo).
Truly great, hope life in LA is to you're liking
amazing. full of awesome studies.
I have seen the future and it is......long! Imagine framing this puppy!!
It's fantastic Stef!!It takes great skill to not think about fucking it up half way through!
I could see this underneath Tarantino's glass coffee table with various A list celebrities snorting huge lines of cocaine off the artwork!!!!
great great great. did you check out Christophe Blain's (sp?) carnets? I think you'd like them
How did you do this???!
It's great. What is it? a long long long single page?
You should sell it. Expensive.
- Thanks Craig.
- Thank you very much Ry! Travel Town soon.
- Anytime Mr Ross! was a plesure, thanks! I'll pop by again next time I'm in London.
- Thanks a lot JP.
- Merci Matthieu! now next one under the sun, discovering California. We are both going to spend winter in the sun, a first for me.
- I agree with you agreeing with Matt Elliott, agree?
- Clement je te presente mes plus plates excuses. Je ne sais pas ce qui m'a pris. Le soleil peut etre.
- Hej Mattias! Tack sa mycket. Yes I love life in L.A so far, a shock, but nice.
- Thanks Willipino.
- Merci ma chatte Matthieu! I'll frame it, that's why I wanted to do a long one, to see it framed and hopefully do an exhibition of long sketchbooks one day.
Hopefully Tarantino will pop by on my blog and follow your idea.

- Hey German, Yes I know Christophe Blain's work, I love it, he's such a talented guy.
- Gracias Alberto! It's just one of those moleskine "japanese album" sketchbook, they're great, quite small though, but so looong.
Hope you're well amigo.

You-ll never find a frame for this- I shall learn carpentry & make one for you.
Great!...is that guy on the right in the 3rd drawing Astor Piazzolla?
- I'm in America now Matt, everything is huge here! I'm sure I'll find somebody somewhere that will be able to frame this, a frame cut from some of the best trees in the Yosemite.
- Yes it is Oscar! I drew him just after we had this barbecue at your place and you showed us this fantastic DVD of him playing.
Big embrace

Fantastic....I love how each one works individually on it's own but together they make a wonderful eensemble. I especially enjoy the vehicles that appear throughout like passing cars among a crowd.
the first thing that i thought when i saw this drawing is, AHHHHH!!! paparazzi!!!!
Wonderful Stef!

Wow! Now that's an art post! Thanks! These are terrific!!!
O...Super...I liked your figures.....!

Fantastic sketchbook. Very inspirational. Makes me want to dust off my moleskin sketch book.
incredible sketches!
The Caddy reminded me that my father had one just like it when I was growing up in Pasadena. Glad you are enjoying Altadena. Hope you enjoy the view FROM the "Crest" as much as the view of it.
Ah la vache!!!!
