This is, I think, my fourth drawing of Spanna. Not entirely I’ve done her justice in any of them. Spanna wanted me to create a cartoon where she was “smart.” This, from a woman who speaks five languages and is a lawyer for rich people. I eventually decided I am giving up cartooning until I get better gear…
Giants invaded Perth. I drew my girlfriends as Jedi Knights. That’s about the summary of the week. This footage went to Perth Now on Friday. It’s cobbled together footage from my mates, linked together using imovie. Every day these Jobs devices amaze me more. Apparently, this has been viewed more than 230,000 times. Meanwhile, The Swede…
Are you a Jedi, or are you a Sith? I’m probably Sith. I’ve not got around to drawing that. I might get there. But Bommie and HWG are both Jedis. This project was to move away from my comfort zone of thick black outlines a-la Archer and comics and try no-outline drawing. Also it was fun.…
Economics, it turns out, doesn’t really come to me naturally. I have always found it amusing that this clip was entirely ad-libbed by the actor. Sadly, I am supposed to now understand what this actually is about. Can’t say I do. Whilst trying to study for economics on the law of diminishing marginal utility yada yada,…

Drew this a few days ago, forgot to post.
Discussion last night at Economics was around CVs. How to make them interesting?

So I did mine, because I don’t have a CV.…

The fish continue. The watercolour was nowhere near as good as I hoped it would come out. I’m only posting it in the spirit of full disclosure. I’ve decided I will need to work more on this painting palaver before I broach the issue of the two watercolour canvasses I picked up at Spotlight on…
Had a bit of a fish obsession for the past couple of days. It was prompted by being asked to “visualise” negotiations. There’s a phrase negotiators apparently use which goes: “If you do x, I’ll do x” as a way of building trust. It’s an exchange that makes me think of a leap of faith. “I’ll put…
