Just a little doodle I found in my brain. The popularity of standing desks is burgeoning in my office (though very few of my colleagues are giraffe.)

I’ve been playing with OpenGL over the weekend, and the hippos forced me to publish this repeating animated microshort.

Today Karen and I participated in an event in our local museum of the history of science. We drew pictures of insects seen through a microscope, and then transferred our drawings into monoprint. That’s my* body louse, Pediculus humanus, reproduced above – I forgot to reverse the caption. The event was designed to celebrate the famous work Micrographia, by Robert Hooke.
UPDATE: Got some paint and had a go at home today. This isn’t a print, this is the back-lit acetate block I used to hold the paint after making a print (so it’s a kind of negative).

Optometrist at tonometry machine: Now, you'll just feel a small puff of air.
I created this comic as my entry for a competition. I didn’t win, so now I’m free to share it with my readers! To make it easier for most people, I’ve translated it out of the original Latvian into English.
[Art note: I decided in this case to use vector graphics (rather than my usual rough sketches and bitmaps) — which was interesting, being simultaneously liberating (let the computer do the work) and challenging (the need to make definite decisions on line position). Thank you inkscape.]

Stealthie: when your phone takes your photo without your knowledge.
No comic today, but I wanted to share two doodles from my sketchbook. The second one I made at the hospital, waiting for a gastroscopy*, and perhaps then the theme is obvious. In hindsight I now understand the first one too!
I’m happy to say they found nothing! The doctor allowed me to turn slightly to look at the monitor, so now I have gazed at my navel from both sides.

(* The spelling checker is complaining, and suggesting gastropod instead. I think that would have been far tastier.)

A clown's head floating in space, with an octopus wrapped around the peak of his pointed hat; a spotted bow-tie; we can see through the oesophagus, a hand operated meat mincer.
A periscope with an eye on a flexible tube, peering into a maze of transparent tubes, one of which opens up into a sphere containing a whale, a shark, an octopus. A network of vein-like tubes cover the surface.
