The Show must…IS ON!!
So… We are now six (?) weeks into 2015 and I have managed to claw my way through the detritus – strewn across (seemingly) every square-centimetre of my house – deposited in the wake of pre- and post-assessment and Final Show prep, … Continue reading
Anyone fancy an ice-cream…?
Crisp, brilliant and sparkling though the last few frosty days have been, I have to admit to being pretty much over the winter thing now, thank you. It’s just too damn cold for sitting hunched in an almost entirely sedentary, … Continue reading

Christmas Eve!
Ok, I’ll be honest: I didn’t exactly have a Plan for the denouement of this little Advent illustration caper – I thought I’d just let it evolve “organically” (…) over the course of the 24 days. That way, I could … Continue reading

Nice try, sunshine…
Left alone in the capable flippers of the short-notice babysitter (i.e. Grandma…) – while his parents brave the crowds of last-minute Christmas shoppers (please, humour me…) – this enterprising chick seizes his opportunity for a little seasonal wool-pulling, of the ‘over-the-eyes’ … Continue reading

A post-lunch ‘constitutional’…
Something akin to the chilly, after-dinner walk children (and, let’s be honest, anyone else who’s become all snuggly and fuzzy-brained in front of a roaring log fire/festively glowing TV [invariably showing an assortment of long-anticipated and frequently disappointing Christmas Specials]) … Continue reading

“Say ‘freeze’…”
Ever the opportunist, Bernard seized upon the good fortune of discovering an ‘abandoned’ piece of TV crew kit to begin working on a sure-fire money-spinner of a product idea: a whole advent calendar of penguins as festive characters (wonder where … Continue reading

Starstruck…
Again, a bit of a rushed affair, but they are penguins and it is still 19 December… 😉 Assuming that penguins are not accustomed to encountering celebrities as they waddle about their daily business, here is how I imagine they … Continue reading

Holidays!! (for some of us, soon-ish… *beams*)
I warned you it wouldn’t be pretty… Well, here it is – a penguin chick in appropriately celebratory mood: school’s out!! (Almost… Just the small matter of our Final Crit presentation to negotiate… Hold tight, everyone!)
