"Sleeping"I completely forgot that I sketched this a short while back.I did the original sketch on the Wacom, with my plan being to blueline and ink it up once I had a quiet evening. Then I got hooked on the "Last of Us" and it went outta my mind. #sketch #sleepinggirl

A bit of swimming catharsis for this here cartoonist ..I love it when some bugger clambers into my lane, sets off, arms flailing like the last chopper out of Saigon, only to then stop..and spread his gammon across the end of the pool. Tossers.#pooletiquette #swimming

Panels from the CRACKING "Feeling Weird" Now @rubiconpublishing #Teachers, #guidancecounsellors, #socialworkers, #healthcareworkers, or anyone who knows youth dealing with mental health issues, should pick up #FeelingWeird as a great place to start a difficult conversation.
