Stumped on this one. Nothing springing to mind (excuse the pun) except Winter Soldier. Although there is Summer of Sam. The Spike Lee one. And I do remember watching The Endless Summer surfing doc, but canโ€™t remember if it was any good.

I missed this one and hasnโ€™t seen superman yet but is it what Iโ€™ve been reading with regard to pro immigration, anti Israel?

Iโ€™m glad to see they are concentrating on the really important stuff. They could be wasting their time talking about sorting out the unfair tax systems that have lead to excessive wealth, and support for disabled and vulnerable members of society. No profits there.

Kneecap is not the story.
Genocide in Gaza is.

Currently reading. @markthomasinfo.bsky.social - 50 Things About Us. Stick it in the British Museum. Reading it on a train commuting to work. Canโ€™t get much more British than that. Although we all know the railway was invented in Wales by a Cornish man.

It does yes. The cold pressed will be a bit rough for dip pen work. Some people like that. For a smooth flowing nib the smoother is often the better. Bristol board is very smooth. Water colour or ink wash can tend to sit on the surface a bit. The artistico is and still works well with watercolour.

You could try Bristol Board Or a decent hot pressed paper like Fabriano Artistico. They do a 300gsm and a 640gsm, which is my choice. Although it is expensive. It also depends what you mean by smear. Dip pen work often has a long drying time. If you mean it bleeds out then see above.

Mono pen and ink sketch in sketchbook of Embankment Place in London. Tube station to the left and Blues and Royals coffee kiosk in the centre. There are stalls with people handing out flags and literature in the foreground. There are lots of figures across the scene. The railway line can be seen running above the scene and an underpass runs underneath with the light from the other end in high contrast.

Last weekends March for Palestine. There were 600,000 of us apparently.

Here is a set of drawings. Some quick sketches completed on the day and some illustrations drawn over the next few days.
