<div style="text-align: justify;">
I must admit I have been a bit more active on the Instagrams lately, but this blog has been trundling along for some time, so it would be a shame to let it shrivel up and fade away.</div>

Here is a new toon in a new magazine, 'The Critic', that uses cartoons (Woo hoo!)</div>

I've been getting back into the drawing recently. My career in the circus fell flat, so I thought I'd give up on that high trapeze life and focus on the cartoons again.<br />
Let's see if I can remember how to post things on this old steam-powered blog<br />
<br />
Here's a new cartoon in the current Private Eye magazine.<br />
(I haven't read the books I am referring to in this gag, but I hear they are very good)<br />

The world has seen some unexpected events recently- Abba writing new songs- the two Koreas getting cosy...and now an even bigger shock: I have drawn some cartoons!<br />
A couple of mine are in the current Private Eye, and refer to social media, and phone technology.<br />
One being Instagram- a form of showing off with electronic airbrushing of the mundane.<br />
The other relating to amateur videos of shocking moments posted online- usually followed by outraged comments by people whose main concern is that the camera was held vertically, rather than horizontally.</div>

A fun cartoon about the beheading of a 16 year old girl.<br />
Hmm...sorry.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
How did this one come about??</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of my favourite paintings in London's National Gallery is Paul Delaroche's 'The Execution of Lady Jane Grey'.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is from the gallery's website:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"<i>Lady Jane Grey was Queen of England for just 9 days until she was driven
from the throne and sent to the Tower of London to be executed. <br />Jane
became queen after the death of her cousin, Edward VI in 1553. As a
Protestant, Jane was crowned queen in a bid to shore up Protestantism
and keep Catholic influence at bay.<br />The plan didn't work. Jane's
claim to the crown was much weaker than Edward VI's half sister Mary.
Mary, a Catholic, had popular support and soon replaced Jane as queen. <br />Lady Jane Grey was executed at Tower Green on 12 February 1554. She was just 16 years old.<br />In
this painting, she is guided towards the execution block by Sir John
Brydges, Lieutenant of the Tower. The straw on which the block rests was
intended to soak up the victim's blood. The executioner stands
impassive to the right and two ladies in attendance are shown grieving
to the left.<br />The painting was exhibited in Paris at the city's famous Salon in 1834, where it caused a sensation</i>."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
BBC4 recently broadcast a prog about her:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09ltzsm</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway- back to me and my cartoon.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had this painting in mind when Prince Harry's future missus was in all the papers recently- and there seemed to be loads of features along the lines of 'Public goes wild over Meghan's new coat'.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Private Eye took this one- many thanks to them as always.</div>

It's coming up to that time of year when we disappoint our nearest and dearest with shoddy gifts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yup- Christ's birthday is almost upon us.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This book will make a wonderful Christmas present</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sorry for the lack of posts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I will try to be a bit more communicative now that I have a few things to blether on about.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was asked recently to donate one of my cartoons to the Victoria And Albert museum's new collection of Private Eye cartoons.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As they put it: "<i>The Private Eye cartoons would form one of the V&A's extensive collections of original drawings, building upon our collection of historic caricature and satire.</i>"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Which is nice.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And thankfully they were happy to receive digital drawings (y'know- what with me only drawing on a computer)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The cartoon they wanted was this 'ere one, from a few years back</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
