bifurcation

There were a few birthdays back in the day that had meaning, milestones with parties, but now even the big round numbers seem redundant. This one just past was significant, for the excuse to get tattooed on the day, but that story is for another time. The big moments in life never land neatly on […]

“hubris”

I nearly did this as a wedgie drawing before the last was finished. The wheels fell off a few things and it felt like a reminder to not get ahead of myself. But things have gone well since, maybe a reminder not to assume things will go badly either. Bring on the new year.

“some assembly required”

I started this one a while ago. It had a bit of the new year’s resolution to it, more I’ve got to do something than knowing the direction. Things have changed along the way, mainly seeing a counsellor, which is helping. If the pieces of the model were choices that could be made, the notebook […]

8 and 10

Passed cystoscopy number 10 yesterday. Maybe it was because I’m on a week’s holidays, but I was pretty blasé about this one. No drawing even! On the bus to the hospital there were a group of Down Syndrome teens on an outing. It was a sunny day and they were having an infectiously fun time. […]

A play on cutting it off instead, I originally imagined it as a leaping action pose wildly slashing with a sword to narrowly slice, leaving a skull-like nose stump. As you do.

2018 goals

The last one was a great visualisation, so this is a bit of a reboot with a reason, with a central goal to tie it together. Leaving off the obvious, like being a good husband and father(!), and passing all my tests…

“second generation avatar”

No resolutions this year, just this as a statement of intent, an underline to the end of last year. Started during the week off between jobs, and a conclusion to the accidental blue series. It began with the resistance of “hammer’n’tongs”, continued with the risk of “ballast”, and ends with this, the reemergence from the […]

2015 (high) resolution

Just for the fun of it, new year’s resolutions as app icons. In case you want to check progress! (And no, I’m not sitting up posting this… delayed release.)
