Tomkinson's Schooldays

More 'orrible kids- it's a rich vein I will continue to mine.



Reader's Digest took this one.

The mild cigar

Had fun drawing this one- went a bit beyond the usual scritchy scratch style.
It's in the current issue of The Spectator.
And to think I was worried my time studying art history was a waste of time.



I know, I know- what it's all about, eh??

Surly Sue


Here you go- a cartoon for a change (far too much photo and music posts recently).
The Oldie took this one.


Tch- Kids, eh!

Asmodeus


The cat hates my drawings.
It was only a sketch.
Now it is dust.

It's not even my cat.

Alpha and Omega

Friday was a night off from the drawing tablet and computer. I trekked into that London to see this:

Kind of hard to describe- an immersive theatrical happening- sort of like those 'mess with your head' things Derren Brown does to impressionable types. All took place in the bowels of Somerset House- on the Strand, London. Have I ever mentioned I once studied art hist...(yes! Shut Up!)...oh, ok- back to the plot.
Well- there isn't really a plot- I think... i'm not sure- anyway,  if you're close enough to go, and if they have tickets still, I’d recommend going.
Somerset House is a nice place to visit at any time actually.


Pah! When I was studying there that nice courtyard was a car park for the Inland Revenue workers who once inhabited the lovely old building.

Don't fret- some cartoons soon- had a couple of weeks off from drawing- had a bit of a blank spell, but the ideas trickling back again slowly.
