Go Tex!



A proud day yesterday. Put the pedals back on Texas' bike and took him out to try proper riding... and he went instantly. I held him to start with but (almost immediately) as soon as he started to pedal i could feel he had it, so let him go and he was off.

It made me so happy to see him pedalling around. It took me back to when i first learnt, talking to my Dad as he pushed me along on a big flat football pitch, then he wasn't talking back... and that's when i realised he was way back, smiling! These are the wonderful moments of parenting (to be fair most of it is.... most!)

Go Texas!!


Rye Harbour nature reserve. Wonderful (and photogenic) shack.

All The Dads Together


I've now gathered all the School Run Dads together in one place on my website School Run Dads
They were only quick drawings done later from memory, just to see if i could remember the outfits mostly. A few actually still look like the Dad, that's a bonus for me. I don't do portraits, but i do like characters!

here are a few you haven't seen before... i don't think...??

Last Days Of School


... so thought i'd creep a new School Run Dad in. This guy is one of my playground favourites, i love his superman trainers with their huge 6 inch tongues sticking straight up.

91cm From Myself


I love this animation. I first saw it a few years ago and had forgotten about it until recently and then remembered enough to track it down. I sometimes feel exactly like this, 91cm from myself.

Working Lunch


In Saturday's Guardian Weekend mag. A fun project, always more than happy to put food heads on people... put a face on it!
