More than a little miffed to just discover that BBC have sold the rights to Blackadder and I can only watch it now with a paid subscription on Itvx premium, britbox, or sky's nowtv. You'd imagine content paid by bbc licence fees should always be available on bbc streaming.

I’ve been artistically constipated for a good while. The world has become a Bag O’ Shite ™. So unfortunately this is all I could produce

Thursday's dose of tranquillity.

Out on my daily walk here. Just walked past 2 houses on the same street (more of less opposite each other) who still have their Christmas trees up (fully decorated, lights not on though). Is this some sort of neighbour bet?

When using hand dryer remember to place fingers in ears.

Twixmas Tranquillity. This was a very serene view today. Stunning weather for December

Friday portrait It’s a portrait, but not one you’ll ever recognise, so nothing new to see then.

From tomorrow the evenings start to get brighter, so there's that.

Latest sketch of some Geordie Jokers #antanddec from #imacelebrity

Friday portrait, easy if you know who it is.

I can’t begin to believe how excited you are to see a Friday portrait. It’s hardly a weekend without one. youll no doubt be relieved and astounded in equal measure to hear that no AI was used in its production. truly crap, but you wouldn’t have it by other way.

I haven’t done a brilliant portrait in a long time. No change there then.

Who doesn't love a bargain?

Just out getting a bit of shopping... spotted this

Here’s a portrait I did six years ago. I don’t really like most of my portraits but I like a few, this is one, even though it’s crap (obvs).

OK, Ive had a short break from portraits and this week I have returned to charcoal. You'll be relieved to know that no fragment of skill has accidentally be lodged in this weeks portrait. Normal service has been resumed.

Easily the worst park I've seen in a decade. There was no one in the car, this is a "park".

Sunday dose of tranquillity

#1776 this is actor Laurence Fishburne

#1775 this is actor Ciaran Hinds

I was in a supermarket today. I can’t help but be in awe of other people’s shopping baskets. One guy has 172 bottles of coors beer and a packet of nappies. Another had 16 0.5l , that’s 8 litres of yogurt. The mind boggles 🤯

Friday night, must be time for a portrait. I have a feeling you’ll not guess this one.

It’s Friday portrait time, for those of you that can be bothered. I really must get back to paper one of these days. Not this week though.

Friday goslings in the sunshine.

Drawing of the epic Idris Elba. #art #humansofbluesky

Here’s a portrait I drew in April 2017.

The art of the deal. Expecting any moment to hear from team trump how this is a masterstroke and was the plan all along. 🙄 Trump exempts smartphones and computers from new tariffs www.bbc.com/news/article...

It’s Friday, it’s portrait time,so you get this. I suppose you should be grateful. It could be worse. Probably.

It’s Friday so time for another dose of crap to be released down the sluice.

Quick sketch of Ulrich Mühe. He was an incredible actor, well known for his role in The Lives Of Others.

Friday portrait time. You’re overdue a very difficult guess. But I had to give you this dead easy one, it’s as easy as baking bread.

We all need to understand this. Trump tariffs are good, everyone else’s are “nasty”. 🙄 www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cx...

So Trumps “revenge” for Canada making things dearer for Americans is to … checks notes … make things dearer for Americans.

I ordered heating oil for house. Lady on phone said they could deliver on Tuwednesday. I told her Tuwednesday would be great.... Stony silence.😳

What a massive mistake.

Can anyone parse this headline from Belfast Telegraph? My brain hurts trying to work out what words should have been there. Baffling. @belfasttelegraph.co.uk

I used to get this all the time, not any more though, now that it's....

Nearly didn’t get round to a portrait this week. But I just managed to squeeze this in within the last hour. I’m sure you’ll appreciate it.

I’m just exhausted listening to the news this week, it’s relentless gobshittery all round. So here’s a portrait of a non gobshite to cleanse your palette.

@danielgray.com Saw this, and thought of you. Have you ever seen such a mess and mixture of fonts?

Friday portrait time. Here’s one I did quite a long time ago, I don’t think I posted it before but I may have. Could be tricky, possibly a little obscure. Good luck with it.

Funny thing happened today. Was in a famous Deli in Belfast. An American lady was buying three shopping bags. Guy at till: That’s £15 please USA Lady (aghast): Is that each? GAT: No, £5 each, but I can slap a 25% Trump tariff on if you like. USA L: fuming in silence😡. Probably a MAGA supporter.

It’s Friday night, it’s that time again. Drink a sip of neat green chartreuse and fix your guessing goggles on this magnum opus.

If very strong isn't enough for you and you need "ultimate strength" I'll assume you're up to no good. 👀

Spotted this in belfast today. Never spotted it before. Anyone know how long it's been there?

Apology not accepted
