Last Monday 15th November, 2010 was the end of the Georgian era. Here are two of the last sketches I did of the old bugger.

A quick sketch of George done in crayon. He was NOT a good model – he kept moving his head. Picture was pretty much life-sized, on builder’s heavy brown paper.

And one of my infamous Preying Mantis George masterpieces. Part dog. Part preying mantis. All devil dog. “I’m a baad dog.”

Rest in peace, little buddy.

CarbOthello practice. After John Busby.

Two birds done with the Stabilo CarbOthello pencil crayons. The left chough is after John Busby. The big black chough is from a photo.

The chihuahua from that famous photo taken in New York some time ago, you know the one.

Some sketching practice. Timothy Leary (center), some dude (left), and a couple of morels. Hardtmuth 0.5mm 2B

Strangely enough, Leary looks blurry and out of focus. Appropriate, I suppose.
