After A Brief Break

…at the secret brief break location…IMG_1101IMG_1100IMG_1071IMG_1094IMG_1097IMG_1077IMG_1086IMG_1083IMG_1084IMG_1091IMG_1103IMG_1102…I now find myself with 30 plus weeks of cartoons to draw….IMG_1099

…finally got the brain space to organise and plot a great big chunk from the chaos of my notebook &  journal from 8 years ago…either written whilst “working” in a sheet metal factory or at my cousin Phil & family’s kitchen table….been meaning to do something about it since I got back….not so many ideas going into the sketch  book of late, so I’m glad I “prepared” this earlier….

…onwards!

The Daily Commute

…winter?….really???…IMG_4655   …already??  

…(and WHY did the battery that operates the mother board in my heater pick this morning to die???…you cannot safely draw cartoons with a drip on the end of your nose….).

Not A Busy Day

No Post Yesterday But I Have An Excuse

…my good friend Dee was house sitting for friends in the hills overlooking the Otago Peninsula…

…I went up for dinner on Sunday evening…

….and we got snowed in Sunday Night…

…then frozen over on Monday night…IMG_1188

…japanese station wagon without chains in slushy refrozen snow equals no traction + swearing to the power of 10….

…many thanks to Kirsten, Scott & Alice for the comfy bed , food, rural animal-feeding distractions and towage past the insurmountable drive-way hump…

…Thank you Seedy & Callum from Left or Right for emergency signage co-ordination….

…fuck you, anonymous detractor (I’m picking Simon C, but he’ll deny it!)…

…normal transmission starts now.
