Amazing adventures II

 

Dripman and the delicate meniscus of being

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND TWELVE. Keep on bobbing.

Amazing adventures


Amazing adventures of... Dripman

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN. Ooh nice: 111. Today we celebrate inadequacy and wishy-washiness.

16 April 2010

By the lamp


By the lamp, drawn to the light

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND TEN. Yummy wallpaper from Lost and Taken. Lady from the insect world.

13 April 2010

The bucket


One of the heroic murals missing from history books

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND SEVEN.

Pseudo sunflowers

Pseudo sunflowers in an unexplained situation


DAY ONE HUNDRED AND SIX. Or slightly thereafter.

11 April 2010

Feet with features


Meet and greet the feet

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE. In a drawing, everything can be a level playing field.

10 April 2010

Fish with hands


A punner's paradise

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND FOUR. Or is that punster's? If you know the term for those who make puns, please write and let me know.

9 April 2010

Pedestrian with book


A gripping read

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND THREE. It's just remotely possible that I draw ships slightly better than I draw cars.

Lounge with carrot


Spacious

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND TWO. There's a small attempt at a theme happening here.

6 April 2010

Clocked at 100


And 100 on the clock

DAY ONE HUNDRED. 
100 little images
Countless hours
One eye on the clock every day

Think ink


The invention of ink by music hall artistes, 1893

DAY NINETY EIGHT. Well, no, it didn't happen that way, nor so late, or we'd be missing an awful lot of scholarship, recorded information and human interaction. In need of an ink recipe? May we suggest you visit D J McAdam, a real compendium of actual knowledge, not the fabricated nonsense purveyed by this blog.

3 April 2010

Unspecified persons


Three unspecified persons found living in a nook

DAY NINETY SEVEN. As ever, I'm in debt to the generous people who make textures available. Today's textures come from Free-Textures.net and High Resolution Textures.

1 April 2010

A hat for


A hat for the races

DAY NINETY FIVE. Ladies, if you really have to buy predictable milinery, make it the kind that counts.

31 March 2010

Floppy cars


I don't draw cars

DAY NINETY FOUR. Beautiful cardboard box for toy chess set by unknown Chinese artist. Floppy cars by me.

30 March 2010

Proper diva


She was not what the public was expecting

DAY NINETY THREE.

29 March 2010

28 March 2010

The frying pan


The pan was warming up a little

DAY NINETY ONE. Another episode in the familiar kitchen sink drama we all know and love.

27 March 2010

Team No. 4


Team No. 4 guarded the bollards

DAY NINETY. Well, somebody had to, apparently.

26 March 2010

Night pedestrians


Night pedestrians see things differently

DAY EIGHTY NINE. Black shiny streets. Lights and reflections. Your focus only on what is close by. Tyres sluicing the road. Footsteps shuffle, someone goes by with a bag of chips. The bus comes, then everyone is gone.

25 March 2010

Sunset hues


Happy with his custom made tent

DAY EIGHTY EIGHT. He favoured clothing of a custard colour, but his taste in canvas was a little more frou-frou.

24 March 2010

23 March 2010

Meet the hoists


A family with great dental work

DAY EIGHTY SIX. And surprisingly, never cranky. No doubt I'll be paying for that pun.

Viewer's vortex


 

Viewer's vortex. Verboten.

DAY EIGHTY FIVE. Assuming the position forbidden by his parents, he stared deep into the void(s).

22 March 2010

Park



The park is shut

DAY EIGHTY FOUR. "Another struggle against the clock." "An insignificant struggle in the general scheme of things." "Another blow for stating the bleeding obvious." Said the little birds as they dashed across the quiet park.

20 March 2010

Something in the sky


Something you don't see every day

Only on DAY EIGHTY THREE. They came from outer space, but the hangers just came out of the wardrobe.

19 March 2010

Waving


Not shining, waving

DAY EIGHTY TWO. The Man in the Moon is actually a big-faced bloke made out of scrap metal, who lives in a high altitude log cabin and suffers from seasonal affective disorder once every twenty four hours.

18 March 2010

Instructions


And no small print

DAY EIGHTY ONE. To be taken daily, while wearing stout walking shoes and adequate sunscreen. Follow with a nice lie down. Zzzzzzzzz.

Pencilled in


A few lines for St Patrick

DAY EIGHTY. (If you avert your eyes from the bundy clock).

17 March 2010

Streaming


Streaming in the gloaming

DAY SEVENTY NINE. Not the streaming you were looking for? Hey ho.

15 March 2010

Brick


There's only so much standing around you should do

DAY SEVENTY EIGHT.  A cautionary tale sponsored by the letter "A".

14 March 2010

Window seat


Busy with a view

DAY SEVENTY SEVEN. Missing the Severn Bridge. Which has nothing to do with this picture. Sadly.

13 March 2010

On Saturdays


On Saturdays, three are sat

DAY SEVENTY SIX. Thinking about the endless possibilities of Saturdays.

12 March 2010

From tunnels


When no-one is watching

DAY SEVENTY FIVE. The sound of one hand skittering.

10 March 2010

Sleeping mountains


Sleeping mountains, off duty

DAY SEVENTY THREE. Sitting around, talking into the small hours.

9 March 2010

Top box


I'll have a box of those farmers, please

DAY SEVENTY TWO. Tractor batteries not included. Ah well.

8 March 2010

The onlooker

 

The onlooker always turned up for elevenses

DAY SEVENTY ONE. Still in the world of insects, but only by coincidence.

7 March 2010

Things that fly

 

They may need some assistance

DAY SEVENTY, chaps. If I was making an atlas of Things That Fly, these might be nice: the wonderful irridescent fly found in the window track; the butterfly from a now mostly closed family scrapbook; and the small antlike creatures who wish to take to the sky in hand-propelled dirigibles.

6 March 2010

Brick figures


Wobbling in the half light

DAY SIXTY NINE. I love a bit of architectural plundering, me.

5 March 2010

Kettle and duck


 

Every day they moved round the garden together

DAY SIXTY EIGHT. A mutual admiration; not the name of a pub.


4 March 2010

Angularity


Aerial angularity

DAY SIXTY SEVEN. Three men with a vision of a new kind of acrobatic entertainment. Something for the workers in the ice-locked industrial parks of the north. Something involving clenched teeth and trenchcoats.

3 March 2010

Unknowable expressions

 

What's moving across that little face?

DAY SIXTY SIX.  She's in the world, but not of the world. Her face is made up of four disparate images. She's not real at all, but her expression is. How did that happen? Can I make it happen again?

2 March 2010

Brown paper


They were always found loitering on the block known as Brown Paper

DAY SIXTY FIVE. It looks cold down that street.

1 March 2010

Underground life

 

The seldom seen, underground life of daffodils

DAY SIXTY FOUR. Happy Saint David's Day.
