Cheese Moon!
I was listening to the news about the Indian moon shot yesterday & got distracted & drew these mousetronauts (with a hat tip to George Méliès' Trip to the Moon from 1902) I REALLY hope the Chandrayaan-3 finds cheese (or even paneer?) while they're up there! (Pen & ink with wash A4 300gsm watercolour paper available to buy as the original or as a high quality art print on my Ko-Fi Shop)

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?
