The drawing two-step…
I was talking to someone outside the gym the other day and she said it must be hard to work from home. Not really, I said.
True and not true. Today I find myself working but succumbing to my usual problem. No matter what I am working on I always seem to want to work on [...]
Mondoodle 25-01-10
On Saturday night Peter and I went back to the Paris Cat. A birthday soiree for me. We caught the tram in and walked through the city. I brought a mounted print of the sketch from the last time we were there… and as a lovely surprise they gave us a beautiful bottle of champagne. [...]
Winding up 2009
Last year ended in a frantically busy way. Across December there were meetings and schemings, markets and artworks, making the shop and etherially manning it, illustrating a new picture book, roughing out another, working on stories, juggling ideas and concepts and generally frantically dog-paddling. Would I do anything else? Not on your life! But the [...]
In the shadows of the night
You may have seen me working on this one at recent markets. Well, in the last week I’ve moved it and the cafe rabbit down to the living room to finish them off (too hot upstairs!) and here he is. I’m still making slight adjustments to the chair and background tones… but otherwise he’s about [...]
No short course in 2010
I have decided not to run the RMIT short course in 2010 as I expect to have other teaching commitments not to mention a whopping book to do (the epic). However, I may not be able to resist running some course or other – this year I ran a drawing workshop for kids, an illustration [...]
A Mondoodle story – by Suzanne Willis
Hello all. I just had to share this story with you, written by the very talented Suzanne J. Willis who I had the pleasure to meet a couple of years ago at RMIT. I opened my email this monday and there it was, written after she came across the Mondoodle image I posted last week. [...]
Too hot for the studio
So I’ve relocated downstairs to paint. One day I’ll have a nice air conditioner or at least well-paid polar bears waving ice cubes, but until then, there are some days you just don’t want to be up here. Tin roof and me caught between the sun and the hot air rising…
There were people up here [...]
Quick-draw – crusty pirate
Here’s another Quick-draw. Oh I do enjoy these and I’m starting to get used to drawing without watching the page. I’ll upgrade it to HD when I work out how – the option didn’t seem to present itself this time. Do click the HQ button though for a better view. And you can turn off [...]

I went in to the city on Friday to check out a show. Now, some of you will think that this would be a regular thing for an artist to do. Like film students go to cinemas and writers read books. Unfortunately not. I’m basically a tethered hermit-artist (more crab than monk – I’ll take [...]
