The Romanovs
I have been intrigued by some old photos of the Tsar and family prior to and during WW1 and the Russian Civil War and Revolution. I have been rendering some of these into gel pen and coloured pencil.

Mystery Songs and 70s Singer
Okay, this is something new for me. You have to come up with the answers from the clues in the picture.
Three songs are referred to, all by the same 70s singer. One of the clues is from a common mishearing of a lyric!
A tribute to Uncle Des Darvell.
I was at my cousin, Kerrie's place, yesterday morning, when I noticed a framed paint flecked photo of her dad, my uncle. I decided to draw a copy in my sketchbook. I used gel pen and colored pencils.
Here are the scans, one in black and white and one in color. I have been doing quite a few colored pencil illustrations in my current sketchbook and will upload more over the next few days.
Des would have loved this but unfortunately he is no longer here to see it. (As an adult he told me to call him just Des, rather than Uncle Des). I am thinking of doing a series on my uncles and aunties because they were so good to me and very interesting.
