Happy birthday to the inimitable force of nature that is Iggy Pop!
I can't explain how much poorer my life would have been without the presence of James Osterberg - otherwise known as Iggy Pop. If you haven't witnessed him live you're missing one of the most joyful things in life! I must have seen him about 7 or 8 times over the last 35 years or so (I first saw him in 1988 for the first time & was worried he might be a bit 'past it' but he just gets better & better!)
Happy birthday Iggy!

COVER REVEAL! 'Poo Crew Adventures: Journey to Poo-topia'
If you’ve ever used the toilet, THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU!
After my initial ‘you want me to draw a book about WHAT!?!?’ reaction I thoroughly enjoyed bringing the anarchic & educational together in this absolute romp of a book.
James’ text has been a laugh out loud joy to illustrate & I now know more about various digestion systems - humans to wombats & beyond - than I ever thought possible!
This is being published in August by Farshore Books.
From creative POO-werhouse James Turner & Steve May, this brand-new graphic novel is FLUSH with facts about the human body and digestion."

Night Terrors
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?
