IF - I Spy

The perils of eating to much chocolate.

IF - Total

This what it looked like with a splash of watercolour.

I'm going to try and do a bit more with the colour on this later, but for mean time.

IF - Hide

Here's a quick sketch for this weeks IF, did have another idea but this is the one I went with.

IF - Communication

There's always someone who thinks the glass is half empty.

IF - Gravity

This was inspired by my daughter who won't stop singing this over and over again - and it reminds me of the bit in Mary Poppins when they laugh and defy gravity and float to the ceiling. She really is that happy. And yes it's that tenious, of link again.

IF - CRASH

And there's a little bit of a valentine thing going on too - how mushy can you get??

IF - 80s

This is an old one - actually done in the 80s - it was used for a change of address card when my brother and I moved out of our parent's house. Note the James Come Home t-shirt - it was all the rage once.

Here's a couple of other old drawings I dug out.

This one was used for my friends Sheila and Chris moving cards - there's a theme going on here isn't there. They were mad on VW Beetles - mad cars, I drove theirs once - you turned the wheel and 3 minutes later the car would respond, it was the only car I'd been in when you turned on the lights with your foot. How Herbie won all those races I don't know.

IF - Buzz

I went to Wigan Tech when I was a lad and everyone pronounced bus as buzz, another tenuous link.

IF - Peace

Peace on earth. goodwill to all men ..... they sang.

IF - Help

Does the pose look familiar to you! You want a clue eh? This is homage is to those lovable moptops 2nd film - which scared the pants of me when my mum and dad took me to see the film when I was six. Anyone geddit??

IF - Mask

Burgaboy was Batman's sidekick before Robin - but his crimefighting was hampered by not being able to pass a burger joint.

IF - Invention

Inventing the cord telephone with cans and string with my brother - circa 6 years old. And I just noticed I can't spell "HEAR" - D'oh.

The Cathode Ray - Mind

What's It All About?

Liverpool 0 - Everton 1 (20th Oct 1984)

Another one for my brother, was his favourite goal for years.

Everton 1 - Liverpool 0 (28th Oct 1978)

This one is for my "blue" brother - a classic. Gordon Lee (no relation) "flare is for your trousers".

Tony Hancock....The Egg Commercials (1965)

Total class need I say more.

IF - Wind

Inspired by the first joke I remember my Dad telling me - it was a a book called "Bubbles in the Bath" by Ivor Winderbottom. I found it hilarious when I was kid - it still makes me smile now, my 6 year old daughter finds it just as funny too. And no, we don't lead shelterd lives.
