A quick photo montage horror illustration thing I did yesterday for a horror magazine. Quite pleased with how this one turned out.

Anyway last night I had the weirdest dream ever as I was back at my mums house and she had taken in 3 grizzly bears as pets, which was quite disturbing as although they liked her they all wanted to eat me, so I spent most of the night running from them, then I was an undercover policeman tracking down Frank Butcher from Eastenders as he was an illegal drugs dealer, strangely I was only speaking in fluent cockney while undercover.

Anyway also I went online this morning and the whole of blogger had died and it was actually all my fault. It has been said on a few blogs that whenever I post a comment it leads to the person who’s blog it is having a blue screen of death. Anyway I had posted enough comments yesterday for blogger to reach critical mass and the whole thing died.

Quite impressive hey !

Cycle Snacks and Acrylic Inks

A quick doodle last night to test out my new set of acrylic inks for colouring, wow they are bright and powerful.
Very enjoyable to paint with but a bit of a shock when you first use them instead of watercolours.

Today was a fantastic sort of day, really sunny and quite windy, great for my usual Sunday morning bike ride. There’s a bridle way just round the corner which leads to a 20 miles circuit of country roads that you never see a car on, its great like my very own cycle track.

The problem today is that it is black berry season so rather than a good healthy bike ride I ended up eating at least my own body weight in black berries while I was cycling round.

The Warwick Times !

Wahey !!! I am now world famous (in Warwick) photographer according to the Warwick Times !!

Had some really weird and vivid dreams this week brought on by a combination of paint fumes from a bedroom decorating session and also because the bed has rotated 90 degrees from where it was, I think my dreams are still 90 degrees round the wrong way.

Also why is it that someone still hasn’t invented a robot cleaner, I spend far too much time dusting and hoovering, you can now get robot hoovers but thats useless, I want one which will dust, make the tea, hoover and also clean round the bathroom.

One that would iron my socks as well would be a good USP.
