high on jam
This morning’s picture is inspired by my friend (and web designer) Dan Fone, and a very, very long conversation we recently had about jam. You wouldn’t believe how many things we could say about jam. I heard on the radio … Continue reading
bath street musician
Today’s drawing is based on a couple photos I took of this street performer in Bath, when I was there last month for the kids lit fest. The guy had built this intruiguingly complicated machine that strummed his guitar while … Continue reading
fancy dress

Hey, Dave Goodman just drew a picture of Vern on Dave’s A-Z of Anthropomorphic Animals! This whole comics alphabet thing has really become an internet phenomenon. I sort of lost track of them, so thanks, Garen Ewing, for flagging this … Continue reading

русская перекличка! / russian roll-call
Позавчера вечером Я ездила в русскии центр в Лондоне Pushkin House …. English speakers: Did you know that LiveJournal has a massive Russian-speaking artistic community? I’m really hoping we’ll get some good recommendations on comics and illustration from their part … Continue reading
