Virgin Airliner And Images Of Adelaide

 The stewardess demonstrates a life jacket. (She was a lot prettier than this!)


    I visited Glenelg Beach a couple of times and used the deck chairs at this pop u bar to leave my stuff when I went for a swim.
  I paid a visit to the medical clinic when I left some tablets at home. I drew this man waiting for his appointment.

Toy Soldier Collector Swapmeet

 This is an artistic impression of the Australian Collectors of Toy Soldiers swap-meet, Easter 2024. Much of the humor is in-house.

Train Passenger Portrait Sketch

 On my recent train trip to the airport, I sketched some passengers. As this girl was sitting on the seat opposite me. I asked her if she minded me sketching her.

Where I Am Going With My Art.

 The prime rationales for my art are to document my experiences and ideas and also relaxation. Whilst others peruse their mobile phones, I am busy with my pen and sketchbook. Chances are that when those others are on their mobile phones, I am sketching them. it makes for easy subject matter.

 My cartoon strips and joke cartoons are presently taking a back seat, but I'll come back to them. The more I travel the more I tend to sketch.

  I have an ambition to publish a book, later this year. The tentative contents are joke cartoons, some cartoon strips and some illustrated humorous stories from my family history. James Thurber is a great inspiration in that regard. I might also include some themed sketches around art groups, travel and places.
