The three amigos!

A dog portrait commission this week. Three very lovely looking dogs from Holland. Drop me a line if you'd like a portrait of your favourite animal chums. I usually work from photos so it is a relatively simple process these days.

Hairy Panic in Australia!
What a great headline ?
Just had to draw what sprang into my deranged mind when I read about it!

I had a few days away in the Cumbrian Lake District (land of Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter) and filmed a few poetry readings that suited such a beautiful back drop.
This is a piece called Canoe. If you've never been out in an open canoe before, then I heartily recommend it. The world and its troubles will seem far away and if you are loosing your mind, you stand a good chance of finding it again!

 A caricature of some doggie friends; Jack & Cadpig, who are both rescued Portuguese street dogs and are now very much loved pets. They have a wonderful new home in the English Lake District and are very happy! I have depicted them as Portuguese Buccaneers.
