Lucy Pepper is an English artist living in Portugal. Her illustrations, animations, and cheeky blog, illuminate the cult of the bata, Portuguese beach culture, just how weird British tourists can look, and what it's like to have one's daughters humiliated by your very presence in public.
Love these sketches - thanks!

I was all intrigued that maybe the drum had crossed back over the ocean to Portugal, but it turns out it's fat ladies instead. That's okay, we can have a cult about fat ladies too.
(Awesome drawings. Thanks.)

From the first link: "1. One of my obsessions is the BATA. It is a sleeveless housecoat worn by many gazillion Portuguese women and it makes me laugh. In fact it will probably be the title of a book one day."
