Just a doodle from this evening. After scanning I added the flipped inverse image just because.

I have no idea if this is a universal joke or not. It works in the UK. At least, I hope it does.

[Knee gets a glass of water, but the filter jug is unaccountably low on water. Knee examines the jug...]
Knee: "Itchy ... why is there a house brick in the filter jug?"
Itchy: "BECAUSE, Knee, it's to save water, OBVIOUSLY."

Another tale almost-from-life, and another experiment with watercolouring. I think the grain on this particular paper is too heavy for this kind of thing.

Great performance by Pete Oxley and Nick Meier last night at the Albion Beatnik Bookstore. I prepped my coloured pencils and riffed along with the fluid melodies and oh so tight rapport. I managed to include references to almost every title played, except for Vera Cruz (because I didn’t know what to draw).

Pete Oxley and Nick Meier "Chasing Tails"
I went to see the Andy Warhol exhibition today at the Ashmolean. I did try to keep an open mind, but I’m afraid to say the whole anti-art ethos of it completely underwhelmed me. I couldn’t detect even a glimmer of life in anything – just tedious celebrity culture and flat mass-production. The emperor has no clothes, and we can see his arse.

Nine arses, each with a different colour.
Yesterday I took the day off work and we went to London Zoo for a fabulous day of animal treats. Among the treats not pictured were the aye-aye (too dark to see it for long, but it came right up to the glass;) and the baby two-toed sloth, Edward, who is not on public view but we happened to coincide with him as he was being taken home for the evening by his surrogate (human) mother, and stopped for a chat. The baby emperor tamarin twins were very interested in my sketch-book, and had a go at climbing all over it, and trying to see if there was food hidden between the pages. The brown titi monkey was then inspired to do the same.

Thanks to Michael* at Boots Opticians for suggesting this comic. Apparently this is why none of the chairs in the shop have casters.
*I have a terrible memory for names. I think he said Michael.
