july over and out

July was wet. And cold. And I learned some more Portuguese. And made a pattern.

That's about it.

stuff I drew while watching telly then made into a pattern, episode 563

tractor boy

My nephew phoned me yesterday to tell me he was driving a tractor.

This isn't a picture of him.

This is a picture of a mouse driving a tractor.

Luke is not a mouse.

busy week

This is all I've had chance to draw this week.... been busy with my lovely friend Sar who came all the way  from Cardiff to stay. I've had the best week!

big bird

I'm on day 101 of Duolingo. I'm practically fluent now.

social media innit

I’d like to announce that (unlike literally everyone else this week) I’m NOT on Threads.
Nor am I on Tiktok.

I AM on Twitter. But I forget to ever look at it.

And I AM on Facebook but it’s full of Moaning Minnies and people showing off about their holidays so I don’t look at it very often.

I’m on BeReal cos I’m down with the kids.

I’m also on Snappychat. But only to annoy my kids when they ignore all other methods of communication.

And I AM on Instagram but only about 600 people ever see my posts and I mostly hate reels and I really wish it was like it used to be in the olden days. But… progress and all that.

I’ll probably join threads next month when I start to feel left out. 

Meanwhile I drew a little STILL still life pic for the gram.

this weekend I....

.... drew some pictures.

And wrote the second edition of my newsletter.

There's not much news in it....but there are loads of pictures. Plus a sneaky peak into my non-sketchy sketchbook.

So you'd be mad to miss it!
