A confusion of blogs, a charm of goldfinch, and an alarm of blank pages.




Morning walking and looking back towards home from the airfield. I can see my house in a pool of sunlight. Goldfinches fly, bright flashes of colour, beautiful charms.




Back home, working on the cat book roughs for Frances Lincoln to try and get work finished and ready for Frankfurt book fair. All the time I am watched by my cat editor.

  2. Obviously that patchwork round cushion is someone's favorite place to nap. I like the middle drawing with the cat and the moon.

  5. hmmm..... coming on slowly. Trying not to get distracted by skeins of goldfinches. Just ate glorious spinach and spring onions and courgettes from the garden.
    Wasn't sure about the cat and the moon. I think I might paint it, but time is so short and i have to get work in the post to publishers. At this rate I will be drawing in my sleep! I NEED that time machine!!!!!!!

  6. Once again it is so good for me to see your roughs and far you work them up... I've been thinking its about time I got on with my dummy books - they've been left far too long now.
    Thanks for this, it might just be the prod in the ribs I needed to get going again...

  8. The sketch of the handsome cat curled up on the cushion is a symmetrical pleasure - I can just imagine the colours and designs you would come up with for the cushion.
