New Art commissioned to celebrate the recent sponsorship of the community interest group for mature adults looking to reconnect with fitness and wellbeing through the power of roller/inline skating. Lovely to see the EBCPAS brand characters so expressive. Blogpost to follow (once I get a moment)

Inspiration can come from anywhere! Even on the wall of a composting toilet next to a Mongolian yurt in West Sussex 😆 enjoy summer everyone!

A four-panel comic featuring colorful chameleons, drawn in a cartoon style. In the first panel, two chameleons are sitting on a branch. One asks, 'Someone has a gender you don’t understand?' The other listens. In the second panel, a rainbow-colored chameleon appears and responds, 'That’s how stuff works sometimes,' standing confidently on another branch. In the third panel, the rainbow chameleon, now close up, says, 'I don’t understand French...' with a wide-eyed, slightly bewildered expression. In the fourth panel, the chameleon's expression is exaggerated and blurred, with the text, 'BUT THE LANGUAGE STILL EXISTS' in large, bold letters, making the point that something can exist even if someone doesn’t personally understand it. The comic is signed '@queeerchameleon' in the bottom right corner.
