I am pleased to share my book review #illustration for today's
@FT @FinancialTimes #financialtimes - The Sentence by Louise Erdrich.

Set during the race riots and the pandemic.
A small bookstore in Minneapolis is haunted by the store's most annoying former customer...

Tookie, who has landed a job selling books after years of incarceration that she survived by reading 'with murderous attention,' must solve the mystery of this haunting while at the same time trying to understand all that occurs in Minneapolis during a year of grief, astonishment, isolation and furious reckoning.

Although over 2 weeks in, it still feels like a new year and a new start to me! I did this quick illustration as a self motivational piece as we begin 2022. We all might ‘bury our heads in the sand’ from time to time. Which means to ignore or confront a problem.

As tempting and comfortable as this might be, try to keep your head out of the sand, I am sure things will get better...

This comes from the supposed habit of ostriches hiding when faced with attack by predators. The story was first recorded by the Roman writer Pliny the Elder, who suggested that ostriches hide their heads in bushes. Ostriches don't hide, either in bushes or sand, although they do sometimes lie on the ground to make themselves inconspicuous. The 'burying their head in the sand' myth is likely to have originated from people observing them lowering their heads when feeding or rotating eggs in the nest beneath the ground - hence the myth.

I'm happy to share my latest #illustration for @_B

I'm happy to share my latest #illustration for @_BTO News magazine despite the serious nature of the subject matter. Inspired by a brilliantly written feature by Hazel McCambridge. @HazelEMcC

Here is the intro... “Every organisation and individual needs to be taking steps to reduce their carbon footprint”

Together, on this planet, we are facing a climate crisis. It is now a widely accepted fact that we are already experiencing the first impacts of climate change. BTO’s own research and monitoring is setting out the effect of climate change on the UK’s birds and other wildlife in great detail, while at a global scale, floods, fires, crop failures are among the impacts already being felt, with much more to come. Now is the time for every government, organisation and individual to come together to face this reality and to try to reduce further damage. This is why, along with a group of BTO staff, I am working to make BTO’s processes sustainable and hopefully resilient for whatever the future may hold...

Here's my recent #illustration for the @RadioTimes

Here's my recent #illustration for the @RadioTimes In this new @BBCRadio4 literature series, ‘The Exploding Library’ Thursday 25th Nov 11.30am - Radio 4

Comedians unravel their most cherished cult books…

In the first episode, comedian Mark Watson @watsoncomedian circles the strange, fantastical and hilarious world of The Third Policeman by the Irish author Flann O’Brien (Brian O’Nolan). Written in 1940, and riddled with strange philosophical ideas and fake - or are they? - footnotes, the book was described by one critic as “a nightmarish piece of Irish rural sci-fi where people turn into bicycles and policemen talk in non-sequiturs about quantum physics”.
It’s a book that’s always entranced Mark with its combination of laugh-out-loud absurdist humour and genuinely disturbing terror. But what was the author trying to do? What the is it really about - nuclear science, post-colonial identity, surrealism? And what’s going on with all the bicycles?
