As those of you who follow me on other social media you'll be aware of my sleep struggles so with a cheeky nod to Francisco Goya I've been drawing a few in tired desperation in my sketchbooks which you might enjoy (more than I do!)

Dragons In Their Pants (slight return)
A lot of people* say to me... "Hey Steve May! Why haven't you posted a dragon in pants for a while man?!?"
I'm TOO good to you!

Powerful Barnets!
I posted a picture of a poster from 1954 (see below) saying that 'no person wearing Edwardian clothes will be admitted to Dances taking place in this Hall' harking back to probably the first youth cult of all, the teddy boys. A friend was celebrating the teds & remarked on their 'powerful barnets' which is a wonderful turn of phrase & I had to draw it!
More powerful barnets?

Giraffe pop up!
How many injuries are caused by pop-up books with giraffes in them?
Do you ever think of that?
No, because you only think of yourselves.

Dog Save The King!
Getting into the patriotic spirit at the weekend. (I'm back on the green ink because that's all I have left but I kind of like it!)
