Just a couple of doodles for your viewing pleasure!



As you may have read, I’ve been on a trip to Edinburgh. While there I went to see part of the Fringe Festival, which, in total, lasts the entire month of August.
I’ve also been to see amazing musician Jon Fratelli and his awesome band at the Electric Circus on August 22nd! Since I filmed most of it, I thought I might share it with you, as it really should be seen and heard by all. It’s incredibly jumpy, because I was in my wheelchair, so kind of low, plus I didn’t want to be a stiff. So I danced about.
I hope all of you enjoy it. I certainly did!
I’m going on a trip today. My destination is Edinburgh, which is the city I’ve visited most in the past year, together with Glasgow.
So, I have made this trip several times: in the car, to the airport, checking in, getting special assistance, getting on the plane, sitting down, taking off, falling asleep, touching down, getting off the plane, being wheeled through the airport, meeting my friend in arrivals, getting to his car, getting in his car, driving to his home, walking up the stairs, sitting down, being there.
But I still get so nervous. Especially the getting to the airport part and the special assistance thing. I’m always afraid they’ll lose part of my wheelchair, or that special assistance simply isn’t there.
But once I’m there: yay!
It’s currently The Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2010, which means there are all sorts of fun things to see and do in the city. But, since I won’t be getting there till later in the afternoon, I doubt we’ll be doing much today. I usually feel a bit wonky after flying anyway.
Sunday should be good fun though. Gonna be out all day, and then going to see Jon Fratelli at the Electric Circus, so that should be good!
Then home on Monday. I have to plan these trips short because UK houses usually don’t have a shower that is separate from the bathtub, so I am doomed to not shower and just wash at the sink, but one can only keep that up for so long, right?
One of the curses of being an artist is the unpredictability of inspiration, or rather, flow. It comes and goes as it pleases. But it doesn’t please me at all.
It can keep you up at night, as it did me last night. Or rather, I couldn’t sleep and got up to draw something. Instead of working on a commission, I needed some freehand sketching for just me. Here it is:

I don’t usually draw my own characters but these are two sisters from a story. Fun. Wrote this post this morning, but as usual forgot to publish.
