Tipi tents in Queens Square

A couple of weeks ago a tipi village was erected in Queen's square Bristol. It was part of the 'Eat Drink Bristol Fashion' event which I guess is now going to be an annual event. It consists of a tipi Tapas bar made up of a series of inter-connected tipis, a series of stages and a market. They showed live cooking demonstrations as well as local musical talent.

It's a good natured event in the day; the tipis make a wonderful space to be in, but true to Bristol fashion it does tend to get rather messy in the evening which isn't really my bag. Each to their own I guess.

I chose to draw them erecting the tipis because that was when I had the opportunity to draw it. The seagulls are there to foretell the nature of the event that is to come and also to balance out the composition. It was surrounded by a wire fence but chose to omit that because I felt it would make the image too complex.
