Lucy, ?uestlove and Nuno…
Okay – I’ll be frank. I’m posting this old Lucy the Octopus comic strip, because one of my musical heroes ?uestlove, drummer for the Roots mentioned another of my musical heroes Nuno Bettencourt, guitarist for Extreme in a recent tweet and I remembered I’d done a strip where the two… Continue reading

Portrait & Life Part 2: Pencil Life Drawings
Here’s my next batch of efforts from the Portrait & Life class I’ve been attending. At the start of the course I worked with the humble pencil, which seemed the least daunting medium at the time. I worked on learning the technique of building up form by slight variations in… Continue reading
