Quick two minute doodles on this trip to London. trying to loosen up a bit and catch the moment.

On the wrong side of an education. For the innocent child, there is hope but the adult who has seen life...only despair.

I think he's been told he's being made redundant but he still has to work out the month.

Sometimes I get caught drawing someone. Awkward.

Business dinner. 

Can spend hours in a bar with a glass of wine, paper and a pen. Beware all who enter.

ek sien jou...

Just needs a bowler

Oi Mousier!

Sal's been around and knows the drill. Manager at a NYC steak house called "The Strip".

He's on the trail.

A good friend in Hong King sent me the pic - I overlaid the drawing, added a quote and pinged back. How I felt then.

If I'm in London I try catch a show. This was intermission during the show "Only fools and horses"

A long flight. A new style.

Was literally the most awkward dinner party. Host got sozzled so...I drew. 

Big guys still tie bow's in their shoe laces...always remember that.

"No body dies on a deadline."

(Mom always used to say that to me)

I see them everywhere..."All the lonely people...living for today...whohoohooo..."

Minimal line. Can I get a character? 

Will is an upperclass twat. Rosie cheeks kinda guy.

Was a child prodigy and now he lords it over everybody.

He was obsessed that we would be overrun with terrorists. Was always hiding. Odd chap.

The strong and silent type. He's seen more than he should have and is still processing it all. 

(I really like this guy)

"Nou luister hier..."

It's ok Dyl. Was just a long day.

Put a headband on a guy and he's an iconic tennis player. He's also know as boardroom Bjorn.

Was a Friday...sometimes my drawings leak clues.

Kyle shows off little Duncan.

Waiting for the train...

Liquor stores will not be open during the 

COVID-19 lock down. 

When your team comes so close and then...

All for one and one for all.

Take a nice long toke.

A hotel I've spent many nights at in London. Spotted this chap in the lounge one morning.

The pic was taken in Alex (the township) many years ago. Paul just walked in.

be.right.on.

French waiter.

The buildings behind Nick are from a pic I took out of window of an office in Hollyrood Street,  London.

Background pic from the car on the way into CPT.

A housekeeper we had when the kids were small.

All the fun is gone. Now he donates money to charity to cheer himself up.

He always found the path of least resistance. 

You can't save them all Nick. It's ok mate.

I'll be waiting with flowers he said. But when I arrived, the flowers were dry.

Manual labour - City of London

We all had one.

Waiting for the train. South Ken.

My little fire starter.

Fast line work

Just feel sick looking at him...

Kings Cross

Playing...

20 seconds....

Well  - it's a surprise for me. I had NO idea!

Yes. It's a name.

He started hating  Wednesdays ever since people started calling them "hump days".

Oh my God! A woman! Yes...I can draw them.

Why so sad?

I don't know why but I've always thought Yaks are the most hysterical animals.  

Just some mad stuff...

Plunk, plunk, clunk goes the punk!

Lurking in Turkey.

A Frenchman that catches porcupines. Go figure.

Or maybe it's Steve?

Who would have though that in my early 20's I'd do such a prophetic drawing? My son turned out to be 6'8 and amazing at basketball! He's breathed the "air up there".

A mad little collection of characters from my time in France.  

Very rare that I draw someone as a direct drawing...portrait almost. Can't remember if I copied a photo or not. Over 20 years old.

Completely eccentric. Maybe a sign of things to come?

So so much going on here. I'm wide open to caption suggestions for this. Click the picture to read the story behind this drawing.

The Squirble was a character that I dreamed up in my youth. Odd looking little creatures, incredibly accommodating and resourceful. Their language, Squirblese, is still spoken in many parts of the world although there is no know written form...yet.
