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!

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*

Illustrators for War Child
I'm pleased to be included in a charity illustration auction organised by the lovely Leigh Hodgkinson to raise money for War Child a charity who provide life-changing support to the most vulnerable children whose families, communities and schools have been torn apart by war.
A group of talented illustrators (most of whom are children's book illustrators) have generously donated their artwork for this cause. Work in this auction ranges from signed prints, original artwork, signed books, and other wonderful items.
You can find out more at the website & you can bid for the artwork here It's for a very good cause - happy bidding!
This is my offer which is an ORIGINAL & SIGNED (yep, I can write my name too!) pen & ink drawing called 'Ketchup?' which you can bid for here

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?

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.

It's Thursday! Jump around in your pants!
It's Thursday, the sun's out, it's probably the only sensible thing to do. Tell your boss 'Steve said it'd be fine'* grab a glass of something cold & head out there!
