Lockdown 22

…checked the mailbox today….first time in ages…(who even checks their letterbox any more?)…

…and bugger-me-days if that nice Jah-cinders hasn’t sent me a lockdown activity pack….

…I had to provide my own scissors….but she seems to have spared no expense on this wonderful time burning package…..

…let’s see what fun things we can do with it, shall we?….

…there…that’s 10 minutes that I don’t have to worry about finding ways to alleviate the seemingly endless tedium of having to stay home ALL the time…

…(hmmm…something tells me I may have peaked creatively before the lockdown ends)….

…(…did I buy enough toilet paper?…)….

Not For The Faint Hearted

…or the easily offended…

 

…or if you get grossed out in general….

…general elections that is.

Just When You Thought It Was Safe

 

…to fart in your natural environment.

No Post On Sunday But I Have An Excuse

…first time I’ve missed posting since I started this blog….

…but this collection took me way longer to price out than I was expecting (2hrs longer!)…

…6 plastic cubes chock full of amazing stuff…three Dole banana boxes of ok stuff…and three more banana boxes that went straight to Restore (Hi Sarah!)…(Restore is our local Habitats For Humanity charity shop, support it please)…

…many thanks to my good friend Dee who had to rearrange her band practice (that’s kinda like re-herding cats after they’ve stampeded) because I wasn’t watching the time and don’t have a cellular device…

….I broke the “no-shop-on-your-day-off” rule as well, just to try and clear the floor…

…and I’m still processing it on Tuesday…

…nearly 1000 lps and associated  7″s…blues, country, folk…early NZ stuff….gems!!!

…so much good stuff I could poop…

…but don’t have time!

 

(teaser alert)

 

…never seen this one before…

…(radio play comedy thing I think)…

 

…must be old, because I’m pretty sure you can’t eat Kiwis anymore…(well, not in a restaurant anyway)….

…will start cleaning & pricing in a couple of weeks….

…once I’ve regained my blogging equilibrium.

Apologies To Fliquet

…my second cousin…

 

…she came up with the concept that Foo Foo eating his own vomit is re-cycling…

…sorry, Fliq’, that it took so long to see completion.

….(this “concept” taken from a large stock of ideas written at my cousin Phil & family’s kitchen table…only about 170 pages worth of bad-ideas to go…).

The One After The MMM Up Chux Cans

…that I thought would be better here so that everything next week will make more sense…

…(which may be a contradiction in terms)….

 

…if you’re as confused as I get with all this, go to categories and hit “finished art”, then scroll down a couple of pages….

…then read and scroll up and you’ll be able to follow the current babbling stream of conscious…

…kinda…

…(get back to me if you can figure out what the fuck I’m on about).

Variations On Variations On Variations

 

…last one, I promise.

Untitled

…because I can’t think of a suitable title…

…the main protagonists from my “UK toons” appear in the sketchbook from time to time…

…a reminder to myself that there are over 180 pages worth of hastily scrawled ideas (when I say ideas I probably mean poo-jokes) languishing in a notebook on a shelf above my work table…

…just waiting for me to regain the confidence to do sequential stuff again….

…not far away now, I guess, because I’ve already bought an A4 pad and have been doing some patterny  illustrations at the larger size…guess I’ll get to it when this sketchbook stuff is played out…

…I often return to older more established characters when no fresh ideas are forthcoming and sometimes they lead to…

 

 

…um..lead to…er…well…lead to ideas that you’re just not sure about!
