Carpet Man # 2

More carpets. Always with the carpets.

Carpet Man # 1

Day 2 was all about the carpets. You have to wonder how many carpets the average Berber thinks a modest 1 bedroom flat in North London could possibly require, but they were pretty up for it being into double digits. I bought a spoon, which produced this face and yes, he really did wear a Fez. Well, Fez-ish.

...Ming!

Huzzah and hurrah - it's face 50 and I've chosen Ming*, from Morocco! 

* Not real name. Actually, guess it could be.

...Barber Shop Beard Guy

And so to Morocco where a 2 hour drive out of Marrakesh took us to Imlil, our base for 3 days in the Atlas Mountains. Face number 1, barber shop beard guy. He'd just had a good clipping I think. 

...Nurse Bibi

Before the whole hospital fiasco kicked off, me and the husband had spent 4 days up in the atlas mountains where I got a whole load of faces on the go. So this is the last hospital face for now - my night nurse on ward 5 - Bibi. Thanks for looking after the Gremlins.

...Ward 5 Doctor 2

...Ward 5 Doctor 1

Ok, so if you ever find yourself in London on a Friday night without a bed to sleep in, I've discovered that a quick mention of chest pains to a GP quickly sends you on your way to a 4 hour A&E referral, topped off with a hearty dose of chest x-rays and a bed in ward 5 for the night. You have to give some blood and put up with noises from the gremlin in the bed opposite, but otherwise it's a cheap night. Oh and then this guy comes and stares at you periodically. What's not to like?

...Len Again

An odd weekend that wound up with me drawing doctors and nurses, but before any of that, had to re-post my Leonard sketch up from a few weeks back. 3 blissed out hours last night listening to the incomparable Cohen live at Wembley - just  a total life highlight. What a guy.

...Looking

...at me a lot. Stop looking ffs.

...whiskers

Not all my drawings end up looking like the person but this one really does. Quite pleased.
