This is my friend Matt Hort. Who is universally known as the “Mug Punter” for his propensity to take on absurd challenges, undertake profoundly inadequate preparation, and still scrape through to finish. He has multiple claims to fame. Being the Godrather is not one of them, but I think he carries the look off well. If…
In my defence, I lost my phone. Actually I didn’t lose my phone. I was unintentionally decoupled from my mobile devices. This resulted in two things: No photographs, and lots of drawing. All is back and right with the world and I think I’ve improved in art terms since my last blog. I have a new…
This is the most wonderful Dan Hatch playing the role of a Doctor 4-11 mashup, for the whovian nerds among us. Dan proposed marriage after I drew this. A nice gesture, I thought, but I think his significant #perfectboy would be somewhat displeased. In pen-and-paper related news, I went back to the 30 days drawing…
I drew horses quite a bit as a kid. Horse-crazy girl… such romantic creatures. Also tend to be claustrophobic, ill-tempered and generally unpleasant. Caught up with a few horses this week at the York Cup. Made a decent amount backing a pony called Captain Blockhead (true story) but otherwise, all my picks had four left…
I was sent to Tokyo once, about a decade ago. It was a junket with NEC and I saw the first protoype for mobile video chat – a function I thought then I would never use… and time has proved that instinct correct. One afternoon with a Danish writer called Thomas Bach Larsson (now there’s a…
The proper sketchbook had a rest this week due so it’s time to get back to it. Have been doing an intensive at uni on innovation. I have not posted the pix I drew of people in the class because that would be weird. I did hand a few of those out though, when they worked. I…
So the next two pictures on the 30 day challenge were “your favourite animal” and “your favourite place.” I skipped the latter and went direct to best friend, because place is going to be a watercolour and I need to source a bit more material. Excuses notwithstanding, I wasn’t entirely happy how my favourite animal –…
A “30 day drawing challenge” turned up in my pinterest feed. I usually shun such things: Novelember, dry july (ergh), movember, 365 photos in a year, black-and-white challenge etc. However with this… well, why not. It’s clearly clickbait, and I just have to own the fact it worked. The first thing on the list is “yourself.”…
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…
