New sketchbook ... time to try and get some of that recreational sketching mojo back that somehow got drowned out in all the paying work ...

Fly me to the moon...

Long time no blog... soooo, here's some recent sketchbook pages. Been back from Paris for a week now and work's got me back in it's slimy, toothy grip... didn't feel the urge to do much drawing while there... although did get to see a whole lotta art! Got somebody who's interested in publishing An Ordinary Day... if I ever finish it...LOL... that's cool.

Here's hopefully to more frequent updates in the future.
