Twenty-Four Things - Thing Thirteen

Something a little different today. I may replace this with a photo in natural light tomorrow, so you can see what's going on. But for now... it's a book.

Twenty-Tour Things - Thing Twelve

Twenty-Four Things - Thing Eleven

Twenty-Four Things - Thing Ten

Twenty-Four Things - Thing Nine

A magnificent specimen of the Red Trouser Wearer, seen in the wild at St Pancras Station.

Twenty-Four Things - Thing Eight

Twenty-Four Things - Thing Seven

Bong.

(For those asking where it is: I'm afraid I made it up. But I cribbed bits from the Cathedrals of Wells, Amiens, Rheims and Exeter. And then I put in some completely unnecessary flying buttresses, because what's the point of doodling a cathedral if you don't get to do flying buttresses?)

Twenty-Four Things - Thing Six

Bwark.

Twenty-Four Things - Thing Five

This was an experiment in drawing white on black, rather than vice versa. It didn't quite work out, as you see, which is why this is apparently a caricature of the ghost of Michael Caine, rather than the man himself. But I'll have another go sometime.

Twenty-Four Things - Thing Four

One of many, many marginal penguins doodled whilst writing Penguin Diplomacy. This is one of the worst of them - what on earth is going on with his feet? But it's still my favourite, just because of the operatic pose.

Twenty-Four Things - Thing Three

I apologise for Faraging up your advent so early. But one thing I've discovered this year is the joy of caricaturing people I dislike, and so am not held back by guilt. You'll never guess which public figure taught me this lesson. (I will try to keep him out of this series. But no promises...)

Twenty-Four Things - Thing One
