Kimono dragon!

A friend of mine said that his son & him had been discussing the existence of the Kimono dragon & wondered if I knew anything about it.

I did.

Of COURSE they exist!

Malevolent menace with raygun

I was moved to draw this...

After spotting this...

...and imagining the aftermath (am thinking this is by Davey Law but it's not credited)

'insert generic indie band here' & other drawings...

I'm enjoying this dip pen & sepia ink right now - no other reason

Pleased!

Cats & pizza

With reference to my previous post, don't feed your cat pizza kids!

The Haunted Pipe & other stories...

Just in time for Halloween (what do you mean you've never read the Haunted Pipe?!?!)

Behold, the donut truck!

I was heartened to see a group of NYC cops all eating donuts on my first & only visit to Staten Island many years ago thus fulfilling a cliché for me. The truck was not being driven by a cat much to my consternation - this is called artistic licence*

*also known as 'fibbing a bit'

BOO!

Matching coats

fag break

Bear swing

Ursine swing inconvenience causes consternation!

Dinosaur hiding in ice cream van.

This is what we all called a Brontosaurus when I was a dinosaur obsessed child but is apparently really an Apatosaurus due to various paleontological cock ups.
(I still prefer Brontosaurus shhhh!)

Scooby Snacks

Last night I dreamed about attempting to see how deep a sandwich I could fit into my mouth in one bite. It wasn't fun & was a fairly nasty sandwich, paté in white sliced, (but the kind of paté that everyone called 'liver sausage' in the '70s) 

I have no idea what this says about me - answers on a postcard...

Singing your heart out!

Wonderful to hear an old lady on the Victoria line this morning sporting HUGE headphones & singing her heart extremely LOUDLY out completely oblivious to all the other passengers - cue outbreak of smiles amidst the usual 'tube embarassment' - priceless!

Magic friendly unicorn headpiece™!

Make up for personality deficiencies & general awfulness with a magic friendly unicorn headpiece™.

Everyone loves unicorns huh? Nobody likes you? Unicorn wins every time, job  done!

Monster Facts #10

Monster Fact : Monsters do not receive mandatory holiday pay & rarely take time off - it is considered wise not to disturb them when they do*

*This also applies to freelance illustrators, crocodiles et al. Dogs, as EVERYBODY knows have Wednesday afternoons off.

Wednesday hedonism!

Monster Fact #9

Monster fact : Very BIG monsters can fit through very SMALL holes

Damned lions!

For old times' sake I bought a ticket to see The Damned a couple of days back then due to another conversation I was inspired to think about how a lion with Dave Vanian's* hair would look - goth lion anyone?

*Could also apply to Morticia Addams & possibly Caitlin Moran

Permeablity technologist at work

Musing at breakfast over the weekend at the optimum time for tea bags to be infused & realising how unsung the job of the Permeability Technologist is.
