Drawing is something I do. I love drawing. Messing about with different paints and material and mucking it all up! I’m no expert. I just do it for the love of it. I think my stuff is badly drawn. And that’s the beauty of it: it’s got rough-diamond love in it. And that’s the thing. Most of the time, my imagination explodes on the page in the form of words. Sometimes it comes out in paint. Other times, pencils or whatever art tools I’m using. Sometimes it’s a spontaneous verbal outburst and / or the occasional poem.

When Bessie winds up in a Hell dimension, it is Flanders WW1. These guys didn’t live long. I ruthlessly slaughtered them with my sharp nib.
Oh Reynard! Sweet, cunning, cruel Reynard. The loveable rogue. The Odysseus of my tale.
