Pubs, performances and revivals

I have been such a bad blogger. There are mitigating circumstances but I won't bore you.
I missed mentioning last month that the incredible Mr Nick Tesco performed on a stage with the Members for the first time in several years and was fabulous as always. We can but hope that the love he was rewarded with by all and sundry will spur him on to repeat the experience.
Last Sunday was Comiket in Russell Square. A most positive day, though the punters consisted mainly of trainspottery collectors ( "I only buy comics that have cricket or Fred Basset in them" was one riveting exchange). Easy to get to, convivial company, and the drawing performance thingy on the screen was a good initiative.
There have been mutterings of a pubdraw revival, your chance to sit in a pub and draw cocks in other people's sketchbooks. Or even get on with some work – watch this space.

Off to Paris today to pack up Ma's appartment as the move is imminent – should give me a couple of hours drawing time on the train.

Epic soundtracks

Despite the distractions of the last couple of weeks, I'm back in harness on the Members epic tale, slowly growing, page by page...
London Expo is looming and Leeds will soon be upon us, so the printer will be put through its paces over the next few days.


Meanwhile other projects are bubbling under.

Caption coming up

The boy is off to Majorca tomorrow. Will send him off with a mixture of joy and envy.
What will we do with ourselves in his absence? Oh, I know. RELAX!
And go to Caption of course. Booked a nice hotel.
I will be flashing around previews of the magnum opus, it's astounding how time consuming colour work can be....

There's the rub

Krissie and I went to the British Museum again for another bout of statue rubbing and hey presto she got a job a couple of days later so don't tell me they're not magic...
Thursday checked out some comedy at the Masons Arms, Friday back at the Inn on the Green for a few drinks and Carbon Silicon (Mick Jones and Tony James) night. Gary Crowley DJing and Nick on the receiving end of much love (and quite a few drinks) from some excellent chaps who happened to be Members fans.
Then it was off to Paris Saturday to fulfill my filial duty and catch up with family and old chums, back crack of dawn Tuesday and straight in to work.
Phew. Now hoping for a few clear days to get some drawing done.
