Too hot to (globe-)trot!
Another sweltering afternoon here in sun-ripened (it is ‘bin day’, after all…) Staines, and I can actually feel my brain cells melting away into a soupy mess of stupidity in this heat. It is with this, admittedly paltry, excuse that I … Continue reading

It’s just not cricket…
(…No, but is it tennis/some other identifiable category of sport…??) A quick Illustration Friday offering in response to the week’s topic, protest. Something along tennis-themed lines, inspired by the warm, fuzzy after-glow the collective British public seems to be (still) … Continue reading

A tentative return (again)…
Well… I see that it’s now, um, June (*ahem*), and with the still somewhat contested arrival of the British summer comes the very latest in a succession of (previously, rather short-lived) attempts to resurrect this woefully neglected little blog… The … Continue reading
Send her packing!
I know, I know – there’s been woefully little going on in this inconsequential little corner of t’internet over recent weeks, but just thought I’d shoehorn in this (rather smudgy) small offering for Illustration Friday before last week’s farewell topic … Continue reading

Running with (The) Raccoons
Just to bring y’all up to speed before I unleash a hopping (my newly-coined collective term… I thank you) of Easter bunnies upon this little corner of t’internet, I thought I’d share a few pages of the last couple of … Continue reading

Unearthing new talent…?
Yet again, time has darted skittishly away from me this week, leaving me with the barest scrap of an opportunity to post something for Illustration Friday (and, as I’ll shamefacedly admit, moving me to dredge something up from the archives … Continue reading

Tumbleweed…
*Coughs* Erm – anyone still there…? *Gingerly edges nose out over the proverbial parapet* I absolutely understand if you’ve left me for dead, as it were, so am nudging (‘kicking’ feels like far too dynamic a word for what is … Continue reading

White, or washed-out, Christmas…?
The bookies have, apparently, revised down massively the odds for a sparkling, snowy Christmas (4/1 for London, and a Scrooge-like 2/1 in Aberdeen, according to the UK Huffington Post 04/12/12) after being deluged with bets – the placement of which … Continue reading

A reserved robin for Illustration Friday…
Something swift and seasonal (well, we’re almost there – I’m just not going to commit the offence of actually uttering the C-word just yet…) for this week’s Illustration Friday topic, shy: Somehow, the more I look at him, the more coquettish … Continue reading

Count Spectacularly Un-Dracula
A little topical sketch in honour of the ghosts, ghouls and other diaphanous (but not all, necessarily, malign…) beings traditionally abroad this evening. Or, more accurately, in recognition of the hoards of unconvincingly-costumed children roaming the cul-de-sacs and avenues of … Continue reading
