Blackpool

Took me ages to get round to this. Me and Elise went an old-fashioned seaside holiday at the start of this month. The weather was smashing and Blackpool is still great, even if I am a miserable old git now. I think the North Pier might be one of my favourite places in the world :)

New Print

I've been working on a new print this week. It's based on a drawing I did of a fossilized fish that most likely died when it tried to bite off more than it could chew (or swallow, I'm not sure if fish chew things...)


I tried it with a background first but it was a bit rushed and lacking inspiration.


So I removed the background and I think it looks much better. I'm quite impressed with how the writing turned out, the fish could be better though.

A trip to Culross

Me, Elise and Parsnip went to Culross at the weekend and I got a few decent snaps, which I will now share with the world!

The Pier
 

 Cobbles

Mercat Cross, a well known hangout for all kinds of profligates.



The Abbey (with the remains of the ruined monastery in the foreground).



 Palace gardens

A giant birdhouse.
