Baby Face Of Boe

Hi there! Is anyone else as excited as me for the new series of Doctor Who starting soon, with Jodie Whittaker playing the first ever female Doctor?! I believe it starts on the 7th October, so not long to wait now.

I started another journal page for Art Journal Journey, not really knowing where it would take me, but I used some pieces of collage paper that were left over from yesterday's play, including half a baby face image. It suddenly put me in mind of a Doctor Who character, The Face of Boe, well a much younger version anyway!


So I googled images of The Face Of Boe, and it's believed that it was the much older face of another character, Jack Harkness. I found a quote...

"Used to be a poster boy, when I was a kid, living in the Boeshane Peninsula. Tiny little place. I was the first one to be signed up for the Time Agency. They were so proud of me. The Face Of Boe they called me."

So I've written this quote around the edges. Isn't it funny, the places your art takes you sometimes?!


Happy Friday!

  3. We don't get that channel, but I'm looking forward to seeing it once it's available. DVD, maybe? We'll see. I'm sad Capaldi didn't last longer. I did really like him. This will be fun, though :)

  4. Its a while since I saw a Dr Who series, but I think a woman in the lead role is long awaited, I think there will be more folk watching just out of curiosity.
    I love where your art took you today Tracy and how as it evolved into this fantastic page. It is good fun to go where the creativity takes you .
    Thank you for adding another awesome page to my theme at AJJ.

  7. I don't think we get the new Dr. here when you do. I also look forward to a new doctor, but my all time favorite is still David Tennant. I will always love him.

    Your newest journal page is awesome. The Baby Boe is fabulous and so are the wonderful facts you shared. This is such a unique and amazing piece and I'm delighted you shared it with us at Art Journal Journey, dear Alison.

  15. That's beautiful and haunting - a lovely page. I'm keen to see what JW does with the Doctor - though I don't like the whole three-companions business... do they think a woman needs more than one to cope? Or worse, that a female actor needs all those extra people, two of them men, to carry the show? Smells of a lack of faith to me...
