"You've got to see the dream through the windows and the trees of your living room."

This blog is over a year old! I originally started it as a way to force me to improve. Looking at those early scribbles I think it's fair to say that there's been a marked changed for the better. Hopefully I'll continue to grow in the coming year.

I have started my studies, which have been nice and gentle so far (plenty to do mind), but I suspect I will be getting very busy, very fast. You can still expect drawings, I hope, but my descriptions are likely to be shortened, if not completely omitted.

As ever, my Tumblr updates more frequently as well. I'll frequently have very rapid, nonsensical, scribbles going up on there.


This is the second time I have tried to draw Amy Pond. I couldn't get the face right, again, but I liked everything else about this. It's nice and clean. 





Ryan Beckwith! One of very few characters John Allison has chosen to carry over to Bad Machinery from both Bobbins and Scary Go Round. I'm not going to say that Ryan is like me, but I will say that there are parallels in our respective growth. Weird, bizarre, almost simultaneous, parallels. 

He's one of my favourite characters ever. 




I think sometimes you just want to sit in a tree. 


P.S. I know that this is nothing at all to do with drawing, or art, but you need to watch this, it's incredible.


P.P.S. It's my birthday tomorrow. I'm old.

With a smile on your face and a tear right in your eye.

Sorry I didn't post last week. This week will be very brief as I'm in a bit of a rush.


I did a drawing of Chrestomanci as a bit of a tribute to Diana Wynne Jones, who sadly passed away recently.


Just a quick job. I like her though.



A small section of the Mother's Day card I made for, well, my mother. 



This is a picture of The Doctor, from Doctor Who. It's <i>by far</i> the most popular thing I've ever posted on Tumblr. The power of fandom eh?


This is Jack, Linton, and Sonny, from John Allison's excellent Bad Machinery. It's an excellent read and I highly recommend it!


I drew a picture on paper! I didn't have a clue what to draw so I just did some hair, and then took it from there.
