I have been away recently so I have not posted for a while, sorry. Anyway here is an old promotional postcard I did a while back - retro headphones!

No Disc

I can't be arsed to keep up with technology. I usually trail a couple of years behind... it is cheaper that way.

IF Open Shop

Who needs big corporate retail outlets?

Local shops have a personality all their own. I am lucky enough to live in a community that has mainly survived the modern ravaging of large scale consumerism... so far. Unfortunately personality alone is not enough to keep a business open though. A balance of convenience and specialty could keep many afloat. So support your local shops because you will miss them when they are gone! Keep your local shops OPEN.

Sunnies

Where there is light, there are shades.

Where there is darkness, there are still shades...

but only on rock stars.

Anti Zombie Militia

Coming to save us all!

Flat Pack Failure

Just once I would like to buy something from a diy store and not have to return it! (I won't name the retailer in question as they pay my wages). After dealing with archaic returns policies, and a shelf that had two right hand brackets, but no left hand one, and another shelf that had holes that didn't line up, I am well and truly fed up.

Career Choices

Your a wonder, Wonder Woman...

Funny how things never turn out like you expect. My first career choice was to be Wonder Woman, not because I wanted to be a hero and it had nothing to do with fighting for my rights in satin tights, I just liked the way she spun around. 28 years later I still have unfulfilled ambitions, but instead of being an super-powered amazonian I now want to be a full time illustrator. Something tells me my latter choice is much more achievable.

Fun Lego

One of the good things about having kids is you get to play with their toys (why else would you have them!) The thing is I have a daughter, and despite trying to raise her to the contrary, she does like dolls and stuff. Luckily there are some toys which are universal like LEGO (TM).

Now, do you thing she would like a scalectrix for her birthday?

Pirate Treasure

Something a little bit different today...

I do treasure maps for my daughter quite a lot. Today, as I had my watercolours out, I thought I would do a nice one. It took quite a while so I don't have time to do my usual illustration, but hey, the map looks pretty good so here you go (don't bother trying find the treasure, my daughter has already found and eaten it!)
