Adam’s birthday card
Adam Robertson is an enigmatic fellow so hard to design a card for. So I decided on something around wise words. A little internet research later and wisdom seems to be completely confused with self motivation, competitiveness or Buddhist dogma. So this one stuck as being actually quite helpful. The zombies part is because it nearing halloween and I thought wise zombies were funny, perhaps they should be “fortune zombies”.
Birthday card
Believe it or not this is a birthday card I made for my son. I thought it was funny, I hope he did too! Its one of many. Its a shame feminism has all but died, my be “Feerkew xxxx, I got vagina power.” will help.
Emma’s Tattoo
Emma has been banging on about getting a tattoo for 18th birthday. She is obsessed with Peter Pan, and originally she wanted “Neverland” emblazoned on her belly. We all thought it was a terrible idea, stretch marks, wait gain and loss and to me was the fact she Michael Jackson’s address on her stomach. Wierd! But these tattoo freaks aren’t rational in first place. Suddenly last week she caved in and considered an alternative placement and a more interesting design. After some suggestions she decided on this design which references all the elements of the story that reflect events in her life.
At least when she goes under needle on Monday, to have this art work placed on her body for the rest of her life, she’s going in happy with the design. But for me it’s a strange but magical connection we now have, in the truest sense of magic.
Jericho

I nicked some lovely pen nibs from my son and inked this. Haven’t inked with nibs in 15 years. Can’t claim I’m out of practice as I was never any good in first place.
