Garden gnome one-upmanship’s always going to end with a triceratops and a stegosaur.

Duran DurAngela Lansbury. For a thing out later this year that I should be able to tell you about soon!

Sleepy lazy pug faced pug.

Ronald Regan and some 80’s neon. In a subway under the Grunwaldski tram stop. Obviously.

Jessica Fletcher as The Joker

It’s been a slightly frantic few weeks for me, some of which I’ll be able to share with you in a week or so beyond daft little hints on twitter that I’ve let slip. One of the projects has involved drawing a lot of pictures of Jessica Fletcher. Now, you might have guessed that I’ve always been happier drawing animals than people, and likenesses are something I’ve avoided, but I’m of the opinion that the things that scare you are the things you need to do. Sometimes. Don’t throw yourself off a cliff without an adult’s supervision, etc etc.

That means that Jessica Fletcher’s face is now etched into my memory, like, well, you know, those lines by her lips or her amazing bone structure and big, bright eyes. So, even my warm-down drawings have wound up being of her. I’m thinking I might try doing some prints of this to take with me to Comiket this weekend, and a version of it might end up in one of the projects I can’t quite tell you about yet!

At Comiket, I’ll have The Lengths, Badger (I’m almost run out) and prints. I’m all out of Peckham Invalids now. I’ll be giving away copies of Pieces of the Puzzle to anyone spending over £10. The prints are a4, signed on 310gsm photo rag paper, have a border for framing and will cost £10 each or three for £20. The A4 prints aren’t a limited edition, but let me know if you’d like to reserve a larger version for when they’re available later this year.

More next week, I’ll see some of you at Comiket!

Waking Satyr. Ink on paper. For exhibitions this July on the Isle of Wight.

The Minotaur. Working on this as a part of the collection of mythological paintings I’ll be exhibiting in July.

Blue skies in Freshwater today. At last!

My new studio is in here! I’ve got the space for a year, the other artists in there are really nice. Everyone stops for lunch together, that sort of thing. I’ll write a longer blog post about it tomorrow once I’ve moved in and got onto the wifi!

My favourite near-miss of the day. Somehow shot in between the overlapping metal strips around the target. I’ll be firing through plate armour in no time. #archery
