...the real greek

And so to greece. Ahhh greece, where 10 days of island bliss began with this chap checking my ferry tickets. He really did have very large eyes. And side burns. And a high top hair doo. So kind of channelling De La Soul circa 1989, but in a greek way. Check it.

...Ginger Scot

So I'm back from some summertime wanderings around Greece, Somerset and Olympic Type Places, but it all started with a quick trip back home to Scotland for my mums retirement/ 60th birthday doo, which is where I sketched up this fella, whose awesome gingeryness was the highlight of my M&S lunchtime trip. He was actually quite a happy bloke but I drew the mouth a bit quick.

More sunny summer faces to follow!

...Potato Dave # 2

Monday morning coffee and I don't think Potato Dave slept well. He seems distracted. Oh and with a touch of the killer about him. (Abandons small chit chat and vacates cafe.)

...Shhhh!

...he seemed to say.

...Pedo Tint

Ok, it's summer (sort of) and we need to talk about glasses. Specifically those AMAZING ones that turn into sunglasses when you step outside. No one seems to mention the horrific in between stage when you step back indoors. It looks to me like it takes approx. 15 minutes for them to return to normal clear glasses, leaving the wearer with what I tend to call 'The Pedo Tint' for the duration of this agonising period. Seriously, I saw 3 folks wandering around with this this week, seemingly unaware that with one innocent step indoors they'd shifted from charming-50-something-Waitrose-shopper to mister-creepy-danger-sex-offender-RUN-KIDS!!!. Seriously, just buy separate sun glasses. It's best for everyone. 

...The Brow

For it really was a truly excellent brow.

...Top Knot

And there it is...another weekend gone, but some super sunnyness here and only 2 weeks til Holiday time - hurrah! Top knot was in the park on Saturday walking a little Boston Terrier called Alan by the way. 

...Angry, Didcot

Homeward bound from 2 splendid days in Bath and a pretty hassle free journey until I was joined by Mister Misery who got on at Didcot. He was also sweaty. Sweaty and miserable with puby brown hair. Garrrgh.

...Watcher

Just a quick one today - I'm in Bath working with the wonderful folks at Wild and Wolf. Have decamped for the evening to somewhere river side with splendid menu and giant bath and gianter bed, which pretty much makes up for the odd bloke in the corner watching me

eat my fish cakes. Night! 

...park birds # 3

Walking Captain Bert today and he makes a run at the red eyed bird.

Don't go for the red eyed bird. It's all angry and that.

Googling it, turns out there's lots of red eyed birds in the world, which is pretty scary really. 

...Sort of Rich

 Funny how sometimes I start a drawing of a random bloke and it turns out a bit like someone you know, this one being my old mate Rich. Sorry Rich, but it's sort of like you're LI pic, right?! I got the hat down anyway. 

...Potato Dave

Professional celebrity potatoes, Jimmy Somerville and Ross Kemp

have got nothing on my new crouch end coffee friend Dave. 

Happy Weekendering Folks! x

...lemon mouth

Starbucks again. I always loved that line in Matilda where Dahl describes the Trunchbulls cook as having a lemon juice mouth or something similar. Anyway, this guy had the same affliction, with his big miserable disapproving bonce - a proper happiness vacuum, so I left early. 

...Hey There

Good to see you!
