Dancing to Beyonce in my underpants

This didn't happen.

Some things

Firstly, get a load of this.

And this, I am the proud owner of a Rob Jackson original artwork.

And this, a blackbird nesting above a lab at work.

And this, erm, it's a newt we saw at the weekend. Dr Thomas thought it was a lizard. Silly Dr Thomas.

Mondrian FC

We've got one, we've got two, we've got two more primary colours than you..

The picture of Darren Gray

It was strange, Darren became more and more grotesque while his portrait never seemed to age a day.

Cliffs of Moher

Just been doing some more Geoscientist research on the Cliffs of Moher where I once did some fieldwork. I needed a reference picture to draw the landscape and came across this picture, I hope it's a fake. They're 200m high! It makes my goulies shrink every time I look at it.

Son of Thatcher

I've returned from a rather splendid and relaxing week off. My time was spent catching up on my Geoscientist cartoons, I'm pleased to say I have plenty many months worth completed to satisfaction.

Also, as a new homeowner I've been busy thinking about the many jobs required. I can say that I must be a real man now, as I own an electric drill. Here is a picture of some shelves I put up, they are reasonably planar, albeit a bit wobbly, and probably good for loads of anything up to a couple of kilograms. Don't lean on them whatever you do.

All of this is encapsulated in Paul Rainey's dead funny 'Son of Thatcher' strip from his Lovebomb comic (out of print I think, but if you can get your hands on a copy it's well worth it).

Some good books on the pile too: the latest There's no time like the present (penultimate one coming out soon), The Adventure Journal of Sin Cat (which goes hand in hand with the barmiest blog I've seen in a while), The Red Monkey stories by Joe Daley.

Some reviews of Gin Palace too:

The Comics Journal

Forbidden Planet

The Mithering Times
