Ladies Toilet Drawings, October 2004

When you get asked into the women’s toilets you can’t say no, so I said yes. The drawings were exhibited for a few years and have now been murdered under a thin layer of suffocating paint.

The Ladies Comments:

‘I have found myself consciously choosing which cubicle I’ll go in so that I don’t miss out on any of the characters!.’

‘Really great illustrations that still make me laugh every day. Which is nice.’

‘I have to say the first time I saw the drawing I wasn’t very sure of them (being so simple) but more I saw of them, more I thought how perfect they are actually and how very cute.’

‘My favourite drawings are in the disabled toilet. It makes the space feel like a little sanctuary where one can hide when stressed.’

‘The little guy running towards the 10p saying ‘It’s mine!’ always makes me smile.’

‘My absolute favourite character is situated in 5th loo and it’s the smallest, totally black with very long arms. He’s speech bubble says: I’m not small I’m just really far away.’

‘All the drawings make the lady’s loo a nice peaceful/happy place which is the first for work toilets I’d say!’

‘How nice is it to enter the lady’s and the first thing you see is a happy little drawing that says You look nice.’

‘Nice work! I heart his drawings! Unique, strange, funny etc…They’ve made the daily ablutions less of a chore.’

‘Having something to read is always nice when in the loo…plus it stops you from thinking about the meeting you just finished. makes me leave the loos with a smile. :o).’

‘I think the cartoons are fantastic, though some of them are a little dark! Each of them makes me wonder about the story behind it.’

‘The Illustrations bring a smile to my face particularly the ones with a slight twist.’

‘Fun and wacky. Every time I go to the loo I discover another little character! My trips to the loo are no longer just practical!’

‘I drink all day long so I can go to the toilet more often.’

‘i love them! They bring a little smile to my face every time i go to the loo…in fact sometimes i’m in there a little longer than needed coz i’m too busy looking around - well done! xx.’

‘That’s fab! nice one mr.stevenson!’

‘They made me smile even on a Monday morning.’
