Died aged 95 yrs.He's taken his last trip.
No doubt he tripped as he passed through the pearly gates and God laughed, well if he can make the Queen laugh no doubt he could make anyone laugh.
Brit slapstick king , I used to love watching his movies as a kid, hey and probably still would if I saw one now.

This is a drawing of a study by top photographer Terence Donovan, look for his black and white photo's on the web they are superb.

Under The Dome

My wife is reading this book by Stephen King, "Under the Dome" the cover of which I drew whilst idling on holiday at the Airport, well in truth I started it on the beach and finished it at the airport.

If anyone is reading the book they will know that it has different covers and this is just one of them.

This started life as another cuddly toy painting that went horribly wrong so turned it into this imgainary seascape type thing.

Aged Rabbit

Did this last night, its an acrylic painting, first time i've actually used a proper canvass.

Before you ask the missing ear and eye are intentional, it's actually a toy that was bought for my son when he was born (15 yrs ago nearly) and I liked the loook of it.

My nephew Luke has visited today and he did this drawing for me on my Wacom graphics tablet, he is 8 yrs old and this is really cool.

To you..to me..

My take on Beckham , I know he has a big old beard now but in the photo I drew from he didn't.

Not the best likeness either but I've done it now so thought i'd put it up.
