Done in my (shiny new) sketchpad on the way home:

Holy shit indeed! As far as I could see nobody was really hurt, but holy shit the front of that bus was mooshed in…

Because I am a damn fool, I agreed to have the bathroom ripped out this week, which pretty much means I will be living as some kind of bathroom-hobo for a week. This week is going to be just like a music festival!* Just so long as they have the shower up and running before I go back to work, there should be relatively few casualties.

*Without any of the good bits.

And this would be a complete shambles from me the result of the caption competition winner from Rocky. You might have noticed that this year I’ve taken the idea of a caption and run with it a bit… I’ll be posting Jude’s winner early next week I think, I could tell you why but the boring reasons are boring.

Slap me a rhino, I’ll be back later!

Looks like the outside world is still there:

I found an Actionsnail on my travels as well:

Actionsnail is hungover and having a fencenap. Or something. Real drawings later if stuff goes to plan…

Mr. Klaw in all his scubby glory:

In other news: I’ve got next week off, but the downside is that there’s gonna be builders running around tearing the flat up as well. Can’t see myself posting too much, but I’ll see how it works out.

- Okay there is news but first, there is a new Whitechapel Remodel. This week is Moris Klaw, with a pretty detailed description that, well, I took the bits I liked and these are the done-at-work pencils:

I forgot about the parrot, I think that might be tomorrow’s at-work project. Right, on to the news:

NEWS!

Okay there’s not that much to be honest: Rocky, your pieces are in the post, give me a shout and let me know if they show up intact okay? Jude I’ll get yours over to you this week, and as for Maggie: I’m afraid you’ve left it too late my dear, the prize-ness goes instead to…

*drumroll please!*

Scob. Well done man you came second win a prize!

That’s enough of this foolery, I’ll see you guys tomorrow.

I’ve got this for you today:

I’ve been finishing off the competition prizes as well today, hopefully I’ll be able to post them tomorrow.
Ooh I should really have left the house today eh?

A couple of pieces from my sketchpad for you guys today:

Five minute sketch while watching Lord of the Rings last night. TIP: if you can, watch it slightly fast-forwarded. Every scene with a hobbit turns into comedy gold

Or maybe I was just drunk.

Anyway, part the second:

I think this might have to turn into a proper character, I can see some good possibilities here…

Also: MAGGIE! You need to get me your email address! Or just get in touch at all! If some details aren’t forthcoming by, say, the end of the week, I’ll have to pick a different winner. ‘Fraid so.

Back tomorrow!

This is nice, I got this week off as well! Today was mostly about sleeping in and eating chicken though, so I didn’t get too much done, but I did have a go at this week’s Remake/Remodel thread on Whitechapel:

The Woman with a Black Heart in a shitty mood. More tomorrow!

- I can’t believe I’ve made it to Friday again. I’d be a lot happier drunker right now if I wasn’t working tomorrow, but I’ll just have to take solace in the fact I’ve got six lovely days off right after that. On to today’s picture:

this is for a competition I entered about six weeks back, I wasn’t originally going to post it here till I’d heard how I’d done but I’m fed up waiting so here it is, one of my rare colour pieces. I’ll tell you who it’s for when they get around to telling me how I did. See you again Monday?

Also, Rocky: I’ve been thinking about t-shirts for a while, it might be a near-future development – there’s a couple of options I’ll be looking into, I’ll let you guys know more next week.

Shetland

Okay so I lied about the biscuits, here’s a picture instead:

This is Hobson’s t-shirt from yesterday’s post right after printing. Tomorrow will presumably involve a picture of me in BHS trying to decide what size my friends are as I go steadily back in t-shirt history

Still really tired gah make it stop
