Bug Horribilis

This horrible little bastard is currently causing havoc throughout our family. It's a cold virus that emits a horrible odour and foul snots and has go-faster stripes on his shoes because you go from well to unwell really really fast. If I wasn't on holiday, I'd have taken today off sick. We were meant to go to a country park for a day out today but are all so unwell, we didn't bother. My poor son is upstairs trying to sleep but is coughing so much it's keeping him awake, poor little love.

A touch of class

Some might say she is frosty, but it is her upbringing.

John Reid, the Home Secretary

John reid is the Home Secretary, an old fashioned sort of title but he is responsible for homeland security and immigration. He is new to the job. Here he is infront of a committee of MPs and he is agreeing that his new department is in chaos. He will overhaul it.Well, good luck Mr Reid, it seems like a political quagmire to me.

Sorry: Illustration Friday

She realises that she is never going to be comfortable in his world with his family and his friends. She decides its over and walks away, single again, after four years.

Post It Art - "Haunted House"

I took a ghost hunter class back in October and it inspired me to draw this little doodle. The writing was cut off on the top there, but I'm just pointing out that the big circle there is the full moon.

Jack Wildhair

This is an intelligent man, who spends more time in his own thoughts than in the real world. He has let his beard grow a bit wild because he doesn't consider outward appearance to be too important. He loves the outdoors too.

FW with PenPartner

I've recently dug out my drawing tablet. I bought it in about 1999 or thereabouts and it has appeared and disappeared many times. I'm starting to have more fun with now that I'm getting more used to drawing with digital ink.

The Politician

He's a politician with a friendly face, but don't trust him!

Angels and Devils

This is my first entry for Illustration Friday.

Image problems

Hello seems to be having a few problems. I've uploaded the images but the 320 pixel image isn't showing in my blog. If you click you get taken to the full size image. My second image today is only half of the full image. I've been meaning to investigate an alternative image host and if it's not fixed soon I'll have to.

The Green Room

What's behind the green door? The Green Room of course!

Slugman

Is he a man or a slug?

Undervalued & underpaid

It's amazing really - she raised four children, held down a low paid job, did most of the chores around the house and still found time to be the loving mum and wife. She learned how to manage money when it was scarce, nobody went hungry. Life takes it toll on the skin but the eyes and the smile are subtle and genuine.

Jack the lad

He likes his vodka and the ladies!

Crazy Lady

She loves to do crazy stuff!

Family

My brother has always had long curly hair and he likes rock music, he's an unconventional manager/scientist. He lives in the US and has been there probably 10 years now. I've visited him only once unfortunately but I hope to visit him again some time. He was in New Jersey near Princeton but is now near to Cape Cod.

A nice cup of tea

I realise I'm in danger of sounding like an old woman but I do love a nice brew. My current favourite tea is Yorkshire Tea ("like tea used to be" so goes the advert).
