A rough and ready draft of an idea from a conversation earlier this evening. With thanks to Sir Ink for the inspiration. See you in the…

“C’mon Namarrkun! Throw something down!” “I don’t feel like it” “Oh come on. We’re on vacation, live a little!” “We’re always on vacation now, no one…

Radio does leave you breathless – maybe that’s a sensational headline, but I promise it’s true in a very literal sense. Working with audio often means…
To be fair, there are some brilliant PRs and I do love working with them. But just occasionally…actually more commonly than I would hope…something like this…
Maybe I should add a comic strip category to this blog. They’re never ‘art’ but they’re fun to draw. Clickness for bigness. Thanks to @Ilicco for…
I’ve been drawing some cartoons in an effort to stop looking at my screens for too many hours. Naturally none of my fine art qualifications show…
Like most people, I occasionally crave meals that I used to have when I lived with my parents or visited with my Grandmother. Sometimes I can…

It’s been a while, but a couple of things entwined to play around my mind in the last few weeks. I have some questions as usual.…
3am London BST and I should be in bed, asleep. But I’m not. I’m watching a news channel on the internet. It’s not a mainstream channel…
So – a little recap and a tape for you. A few weeks (probably more) I asked if anyone would contribute sound. The original post is…
The nice thing about starting a new project is that it usually means you finished the last one. Right? Yeah right… Anyways, I’m thinking on writing…
