Had a great time setting up yesterday. Lugged a bass amp down some stairs, found and labeled some bins, moved some tables and chairs. Come and enjoy the fruits of my labour this Sunday 15th June - live at Cuckoo Farm 4, 12pm-6pm. 5 great live acts, cold beer in the sunshine, Live visuals, a great time.

A letter appeared in the last Private Eye about one of my cartoons. I’m inclined to think it’s a joke from someone I know? Or maybe not? Are YOU Bill Robertson from Tacoma Washington?

Join me on Sunday if you like. Drinking beer in the sun in between some excellently odd musical acts. I’ve even taken a CD player specially.

Earlier this year I had the pleasure of running a series of six of printmaking workshops for @artexchange at @uniessex

The starting point for each week was a illustrated poem from William Blake's 'Songs of Innocence and Experience'

I read them out and everything.
The students were kind and indulged me.

It was great to see what they came up with and how their skills developed over the weeks. In the last week we bound the prints into books.

Some of these are on display in the Library. as part of the "Tyger Tyger!' Exhibition. which runs until September.
worth a visit for the paternoster lifts alone.

I have an original drawing in the current exhibition at @theminories. You can bid on it in a silent auction then you can hang it on your wall. Most likely in the toilet.

the money goes to help the minories gallery continue to run and occasionally employ me to do stuff.

Some pages from recent sketchbooks. The ‘A6 seawhites eco’ is a good value and hard wearing everyday sketchbook, if you’re interested.

My sporting review of 2024 in cartoons.
My personal highlights were @markcavendish winning an historic 35th Tour de France stage and @ipswichtown winning promotion to the premier league. No cartoons about them though, but there you go.
