Desert Rat
My grandad was a Desert Rat in North Africa during WWII
I wrote a poem about it called Grandad was a Rat.
This quick sketch is the inkling of an idea....

Illustration Friday: Ocean
This is Sue Austin...
Well, it's a pretty shonky illustration of Sue, taken from her amazing TED video...
I had no idea what to draw for this month's Illustration Friday prompt; Ocean. Then I got a newsletter from TED directing me to Sue's talk. Completely mindblowing. She challenges all the stereotypes of what it means to need a wheelchair... she created art using the chair and she rigged another chair to a scuba outfit allowing her full 360 degrees of motion underwater. It's amazing stuff and I urge you to watch it.
I was also happy to see the creator of one of my favourite blogs sat in the audience, Noelle Stevenson of Gingerhaze...

Bottle Throwing Bogan's and the Beer-Bush
We recently moved across town into an estate that has been touted at 'the place to raise a family'. The house is lovely, the garden is massive, the estate is quiet, but it's like they built it, sold it, and then forgot about it. The beautiful paths and man-made lake are never tended, completely overgrown and covered in litter. It's really quite sad. The missus and I are going to go clean it up but there's another problem; the bottle-throwing bogans. The have a beer as they walk their dogs (as I do every now and then) but they then just leave their bottles lying around all over the footpath and in the verge. Perhaps they're hoping they'll grow a beer-bush?
