I’m thinking this would make a super band name.

Avalanche! And Goats!
There will be goats. There will be an avalanche. There will be plenty of cake.
A lovely visit to Harris Primary Peckham
A week ago, I visited the terrific Harris Primary School in Peckham. It was a great hour, and the children seemed to enjoy it. But little did I know that a week later I’d receive two folders of letters and amazing yeti, mice, and hamster drawings in the post!
It’s such a wonderful feeling seeing children take your characters and make them their own, and I’m so chuffed that I’ve decided to put a couple of them up here. What a super thing to be sent!
Neil Gaiman in the Doors?
I love the photos in Fortean Times of time travellers. There was this great one of a time traveller with a mobile phone in a Charlie Chaplin film. You get the idea.
So there I was, doing some Youtube trawling, when I came across this video of the reformed Doors playing with Eddie Vedder in 1993, as they were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. And lo and behold, who is that playing bass? The time travelling Neil Gaiman, no less. I mean, he was alive then, but it’s definitely the Neil Gaiman of 2012.
Quite amazing, but possibly not as amazing as Robbie Krieger’s leather trousers.
Pirate George character sketches
Pirate George’s Big Adventure
I’m sitting here drawing Pirate George, and I’m thinking that one day he’ll need his own adventure.
He seems maybe a little too big to be a bit player all his life.
Little Bo Bear
A little character I drew last night.
Pop-Up 2012 is go!
I can’t believe it’s a year since the last one, but the excellent Dylan Calder has been busy again. Pop-Up is a super children’s festival that gets really involved with the community. Taking place over the 30th June and 1st July in Kings Cross, North London, it’s got some great things lined up.
The highlights would have to be the Comics Big Top of Awesome, starring some outrageously talented folk, and Marcus Sedgwick‘s My Swordhand is Singing tent.
Not to be missed, surely?!
