I won’t say it’s top secret, but I have been keeping it under my hat for a while, mostly because I can hardly believe it’s true: I started the year by taking the plunge into getting running metres printed. So I’ve been ordering miles of basecloth, and spending a horrible amount of money to finally …

Aquarius
AquariusThis is the horoscope illustration I did for Fairlady magazine this month. Hope it gives all those in the thick of the winter months a feeling of the summer coming soon. I was on Glen Beach late yesterday afternoon, and I don’t think I could ever tire of those icy clear pale tops of the …

Last Drawing Room 3 posting
And even more for Drawing Room 3, opening on Friday. I spent yesterday with my friend Cornelius and his drill press, making spade bit holes in the back to glue washers on so that these weighty objects can hang flush with the wall. All of the pics on this posting are smallish, but the previous …
