IF - Perspective

It's all a matter of perspective.

Background photo from North Berwick, Scotland one of my favourite places in the world.

Winter Olympic Dog - Ice Hockey

The Ice Hockey Chump - I always liked the film Slap Shot as youngster, as well as Rollerball (the orginal with James Caan) - I even had the theme tune at our wedding - it's a wonder my wife didn't take me out with a studded glove, I bet she's felt like it since. I hasten to add the theme tune was Bach's Toccata in D Minor - my dad bought the record for me after I'd seen the film, I must have been about 14 at the time - always one to further my musical education my dad, still is.

Winter Olympic Dog - The Luge

To quote Jerry Seinfeld - "Oh he pointed his toes… oh, this guy is a tremendous athlete. The luge is the only sport I’ve ever seen that you could have people competing in it against their will, and it would be exactly the same"

Winter Olympic Dog

IF - Adrift

His love was adrift - bit lame but have been in Scotland all week with no chance of working on this week's theme. Visited the Scot Monument while in Edinburgh - always reminds me of Thunderbird 3.

IF - Muddy

The Niles Crane of the pig world - that's for all you Frasier fans out there.

IF - Fluid

Bone juggling in one fluid motion!!!!. Used before for IF but I've got my eco recycling hat on today!!

IF - Focused

Ordinary dog by day - but Batdog by night, though not totally focused on fighting crime until he'd finished his bone.

IF - Clumsy

Clumsy pig dropping his food - he shouldn't have been bothered by the fly.

IF - Wilderness

There's nothing like a hot cup of coffee when you can't remember where you've buried your bone in a snowy wilderness.

IF - Confined

Confined to a branch - that'll teach him to fall asleep during a snow fall.

Happy New Year!

IF - Undone

Happy Christmas to one and all!

IF - Hatch

Not even had time to scan it this week, never mind finish it. Will try to finish it before end of week. But don't hold your breath.

Happy Holidays!

IF - Crunchy

Handing this weeks spot over to my 5 year old Edie, these are what she came up with for Crunchy - apparently this is the noise reindeers make when eating the carrots left next to Santa's mince pie and wee dram.

Edie's self portrait, with new angel bobbles.

IF - Entangle

Shakespeare's Pun

This was a commission for a company providing disability equality/awareness training. This was to persuade people not to use the disabled toilets as a store room, apparently it happens.

Birthday Painting

This painting was my wife's birthday present for yesterday. Done by the very talented artist Jenny Birchall from Cornwall, I came up with a list of her favourite things and this was the brilliant end result. My wife was chuffed to bits about it and so were my daughters.

Jenny's work can be seen here and a here, there's some great paintings of St Ives with a Beatles theme to them. When I was in St. Ives in summer I spent ages in certain galleries studying them.

IF - Music

This one really is a rave from the grave, a boom from the tomb - done when I was mere slip of a lad. This was from a mini-comic called Lounge Lizard that I use to self publish.
