My Newly Polished Kitchen Floor

OK, possibly not the most exciting blog entry, and the first in a while, but here's my new (old) kitchen floor. Having discovered the original red-tile floor hiding under the crappy lino I decided to rip up the offending plastic and clean and polish (and in one bit, repair) the tiles I found underneath. Luckily, they were mostly intact with one or two concretey bits that were easily covered.

In other news, I started doing caricatures for 'Glory Ball' on Challenge TV: 5 a night, 5 nights a week (at about 7:50pm). I'll be posting a selection of these in due course.

Also, I'm off to Shrewsbury for the Shrewsbury Cartoon Festival (22nd-24th April), which happily also includes my birthday, on the 22nd. If you're in the area, let me know!

Well, sorry for the slight absence recently - been a bit quiet really, the only real excitement being the annual bloodletting by the taxman. Oh, joy...

Other than that, there's a big big job in the offing for me (hopefully), although it looks like the Dubai job might be off.

In other news, I attended the Tribune re-launch party at the Palace of Westminster last week, which was jolly interesting. Also, managed to ship the big pile of cartoons off to South Africa for the forthcoming exhibition. I might even post some of those on here some point.

On a more serious note, my father suffered a mini-stroke a couple of weeks ago, which is causing much anguish for us all. He looks like he's on the mend, but he's been in and out of hospital recently a fair bit, and is still in now. I hope you'll join me in wishing him a speedy recovery.

Anyway, back to making money, so that the taxman has something in July...

Etc.

Well, here it is (damn, sounding like Noddy Holder again). Two shopping days to Christmas and I've done precisely sod all. Well, not exactly, I've attended three parties as a caricaturist, and drawing dozens of other personal caricatures, not to mention cards.

Anyway, as I close up the studio for the festive season I'd like to say thanks to everyone that's helped me this year, and a big Hi! to all my friends, new and old.
