I am No 4? Give me 7 of 9 any day!
OK, I fell for it… the hype that is. I’ve had several people rave about this book to me, so I went out and got a copy. I feel like I should be now raving about it as well, but strangely I can’t. It has lots of things in it that I like – action, [...]
More Tree Please!
Due to popular demand I’m posting a few more tree sketches…um… (fidget)…well, okay then, no one asked me…I just find myself sitting here thinking what to post so I grabbed my sketchbook and thought, yep, more trees! And, in an effort to link this post to the whole Trapped By Monsters theme – here’s a [...]

And other one there… Commas, full stops (called periods in America), and exclamation marks are just a few of the tools we can use in written language to make sure that what we want to say is understood by [...]
Making a Beast of Myself.
OK, following on from David’s post, I couldn’t resist. Here’s me doing my impression of a raptor!
WARNING: Vicious gizzards!
I was reading about chicken gizzards earlier while researching a particularly disgusting project when I came across something truly horrifying. All birds have gizzards (a sort of stomach with a thick lining), as do some fish. So far, so non-horrifying. Well, here’s the terrible bit. Hold on to your hat (or clutch your ears if [...]
