Summer Holiday and Break

It Has been an age since I have Blogged or even got on the Internet. I have struggled with my Internet connection which went down and took Orange a month to get it working , but now I get an intermittent connection depending if the BT man has been playing as my phone line sounds extremely distorted and crackly? BT say its fine but I can pay £99 and they will come and check it? This all happened just after I had a phone call from BT offering there new faster service? I am waiting for my contract to come up for renewal before I bin the lot and go with Virgin.
  Anyway I have been busy and as always do a lot of doodling, below is a fun sign for the post ladies to put in their van, it isn't finished yet but getting there. I sometimes draw funny cartoon sketches of things that have happened albeit I stretch the truth a lot ( not unlike the news papers). I cannot show them all as I have got in trouble on many occasions as although funny, a lot of people would rather it wasn't shown.

A recent commission as a leaving gift, hardest part was cutting the mount and trying to get the nine crests small enough to print out digitally( would of took forever to draw them)

Some more caricatures of aircraft engineers with one of the companies we assist, it brightens there office up a bit.

 I have just done my first wedding for some long term friends(School 37 years ago) daughter and her husband. I produced a digital Caricature of them and a double mount signing board all framed in a white frame ( as below) and did the caricatures in the evening. I am a bit rusty to say the least but after about 10 ,I got in the zone and the rest seemed to flow until about after midnight when I realised its harder than you think sitting up straight in front of an easel for around 6 hours none stop! I did start to flag and the drawings suffered. Everyone was well drunk by then and all seemed to love them. It was all free of charge so I had no pressure.

I will not chance losing my connection any more so, by to all for now as I am off on Holiday down Cornwall way to chill out.
