Memorial Device “Alternative National Treasure”. Let’s have a brew. I like ScandiNoir & The Vaccines. DuoLingo boasts. Enthusiastic novice at drawing. Workplace selfies for OOTD.

Left side photo of half of my face. Right side drawing of that photo which I did from memory without having the reference open whilst drawing.

Side by side of the photograph I memorised before attempting a two minute quick draw. See my latest reel for more. #sketch #draw #drawing #selfportrait #artprocess

Your words are a life-saving kit. If you see someone who doesn’t look OK, a little small talk could save their life. Anyone can do it.

Putting the dog to sleep by The Antlers.
I’ve seen whole audiences well up. Even my sis who never cries at any sad films has had tears when that’s played in concert. (And it’s not about putting a dog to sleep, nor is it sad - it’s yearning). It’s a brilliant song.

I once spent about three hours chatting to and eating Danish pastries with Richard Griffiths (Withnail and I, Harry Potter, Pie in the Sky) when no one else was around.
