I recently wrangled my way into drawing some web graphics and t-shirt desigs for a web “initiative” my partner is launching for our local wine shop/bar. I know nothing about wine, and people who know about wine often annoy me with their hoity toity ways. However, I was inspired to get involved because the wine geek owner of the shop has a mission to bring fine and curious wines to the masses – i.e. me. So here’s a t-shirt design I came up with – based heavily on my own experience of drinking fine wines.
I smell ... mothballs
Below is my first cartoon in a while, inspired by a trip to Venice last weekend. Angelo, who organised the trip, is Venetian and was full of interesting facts and anecdotes about the place, most of which - as usual, when I’m supposed to be absorbing culture - went in one ear and out of the other. Why is it I can’t seem to retain, or even pay attention to, facts, information, knowledge when it’s imparted to me, and find the dead pigeon’s wings on the ground so much more fascinating? Why is Tony’s version of history so much more memorable than just about any more reliable source? Thank you Angelo for a great trip – I learned a lot!
Last weekend I went to Wales for my sister Emily’s hen weekend. One of her friends, Blossom, got us to play a great game, based on the game “scissors, rock, paper”, only this was called “giants, wizards and leprechauns.” This game in particular, among the other great games we played, made me remember what the point of playing was when we were little. Playing gets you high, there’s no doubt about it.
