Chapter:

The panel they said couldn’t be done. Itchy and Knee as you’ve never seen them before. Don’t miss this thrilling episode of The Family Tayberry.

↓ Transcript
Subtitled "Part 18: The Harvest Home!"

Itchy and Knee appear as monks in pseudo renaissance / medieval trompe l'oeil room, with a tayberry hunt and annunciatory cherubs blowing trumpets and flutes. Anachronisms abound. Itchy bears the single tayberry on a golden cushion. Knee awaits, with a carving knife and fork to receive the berry. Is Itchy safe?

2013-05-12 Ice Age Art at the British Museum

May14

Chapter:

Diary entry: Yesterday we saw the exhibition of Ice Age art at the British Museum (in London). It was, for me, astonishing. The exhibits are drawn from 40,000 years of human history, yet you can clearly see that the artists were as skilled and as insightful as any today. These people thought just the same way that we do, though their technology was less advanced.

If you can possibly get to London to visit the exhibition before it closes on 2nd June, then go! (Booking essential)

In the picture I’ve roughed out part of the Great Court (as seen from just above my much needed cup of coffee!) and overlaid my thumbnail sketches of some of the objects that caught my attention.

2012-04-04 Darth the Peacemaker

Apr06
by on 2012-04-06 at 00:00
Chapter:

Adam had us drawing comics inspired by random words this week. I was shocked to get “Darth Vader” and “flying Ninjas” together with the more tractable “an unexpected visitor.” Not being into martial arts films, ninjas have somewhat passed me by, so I substitued vaguely Middle-Eastern warriors. Having seen Star Wars just the once (when it came out) I didn’t remember much about Darth — maybe he isn’t as cuddly as I remember. I left off the panel with the group hug, just in case.

↓ Transcript
1. - "Die, you thieving son of a camel train operator"
- "I'll get you for this -- I swear!"
2. Meanwhile, on the Death Star...
- bang! phut! phut! shudder! bang! HALT
- pof!
- "Damn you, Luke"
- "This is /so/ embarrassing"
- "Hey Hussein! It's Darth Vader!"
- "I thought he'd be bigger than that, Mo"
- "I think I'm sitting on my light sabre"
