@ben_304 I noticed last night it was getting shorter.

Getting the most out of this pencil!

@ben_304 YES HE LOOKS HAPPY.

A happy sketch!

@ben_304 He looks a bit worried.

Tonight's sketch.

@ulyanov_i @ben_304 That is good Ivan.

Echeveria girl.

@ben_304 Very good.

Tonight's sketches are of people looking left.

@ben_304 Montgomery White or Monty, is an aged cat and needs spoiling to keep warm. Glad he enjoys it.

You have rarely heard a cat purr as loudly as Montgomery White does when he settles down on top of his very own hot water bottle (this is my grandma's doing, she bought him his own after I complained to her that he always steals mine one day).

@ben_304 The wild man from Borneo with a much younger looking Monty.

Still the best picture of the two of us.

My cat is very old but I'm glad he's still around.

@ben_304 Who would have thought.

When I drew this close up for Shardlight I had gone and looked at an old Chamberlain tractor that I used to drive around a bit for inspiration. Great old tractors. :)

@ben_304 Enjoyed seeing the painted scenery on the blog.

I painted the last backdrop for Nighthawks today, and I talked a little about painting scenery for this game over here: ben304.blogspot.com/2023/06/a-new-…

@ben_304 Look good enough to eat.

It's a public holiday here but it's too rainy to go out, so I'm baking again.

@ben_304 Looks like they were very successful.

Dear friends, I tried making croissants for the first time. :)

@ben_304 You will indeed, so enjoy it all fully now. Time passes by.

I'm tucked into bed, full of croissant and reading The Two Towers, with an old cat curled up and snoring nearby, and I can't help but think that these are the moments I will think back on very fondly in years to come.

@ben_304 Congratulations.

Some of my favourite recipes online have been slowly disappearing, so I've started writing my own recipe book out. Of course I got a nice hardcover journal for it, with decorated page edges, a clasp and a ribbon marker. Hopefully it'll last me for a long time. :)

@ben_304 Monty is in his bed and next to Ben,all is right with the world.

Everything as it should be.

@ben_304 What better way for Mongomery White to spend the day enjoying the warm sunshine.

Book of the Long Son

@ben_304 I LIKE.

I did a few Grafit sketches this evening. There's only a few pages left in this sketchbook.

@ben_304 GO FOR IT BEN.

One day I will start a nice, calm cooking and calligraphy YouTube channel. :)

Beginning, middle, end. :)

@ben_304 Oh yummy.

I'm just a cheerful guy that likes to cook for lots of people. :)

@ben_304 I like the old car.

Sometimes I get to animate some interesting stuff. :)

@ben_304 Wow very impressed with the way you help out.

I made 12kg of lasagne! :)
