The Strawberry pub, Newcastle. Drawn a few years ago.

Years ago I made a video and music for a local physic garden which I accidentally rediscovered just now. It's a wise place... youtu.be/2YwsrqobjHU?...

Rush hour

This is the best news I've read this year, and I'm not even joking.

Our local hospital in Hexham, UK, has its own cat. #cat #cats

Today is the 265th anniversary of the Hexham Riot, notable for being the first occasion the Riot Act was read out in Britain. The Militia Act sought men to fight in North America. Hexham was targeted for recruits. Locals resisted. 50 were killed. More wounded. @katmabu.bsky.social... Of interest?

The local garage now gives mortgage advice at their point of sale.

Drawn a good few years ago, here's an unpublished #cartoon to start the week. #shakespere #playwright #theatre

Search results for a certain someone...

The truth behind why I don't do ultramarathons, revealed.

The Times, scraping the bottom of the barrel of banality.

Spotted on a walk just now...

The Gordie Howe bridge is missing one letter.

As the finest artist in my car I'm always wondering how close I am to the turner prize...

Want some thrash? I composed and recorded the music for the latest Rock Candy Magazine video. Best heard loud... #metal youtu.be/Fi1r3Igh9qA?...

Great logo.

Who's the best ever striker? It's...

Just got in the car, popped on the stereo to listen to music. It was set to Classic FM. Playing was the tail end of an advert for SAGA Holidays which I found a bit corny and slightly patronising. It ended with '...only for over 50s'. For a split second I had a little inner chuckle...and then. 😬

This is a follow up to another @privateeyenews.bsky.social #cartoon which involved the #bugler sounding the retreat. (Fair to say it's a pretty niche section of the cartoon market... 😊) #military #militaryhistory #nightattack #ambush #soldiers #music

'Legenda' by the multi talented and wonderful all round star @drjaninaramirez.bsky.social is a riveting, vital read for all inquisitive minds. You'll be enriching your mind by reading it!

One of my two #cartoons from the current @privateeyenews.bsky.social New issue out tomorrow. #diningout #restaurant #food #slug #chef #waitress

Here's a real oldie from The Oldie... #orangutan #music #junglebook #cartoon

its hard right now to step back from the horror and remember the gentle things, the beautiful things. so probably won't be posting too much. but today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BirdsInFlight, and thats a favorite, so here is a skimmer in flight reflected in a pond #birds #Photography #EastCoastKin

The night sky, or a frozen pavement in England? #art

Steve Clark, not forgotten

I don't take a lot of pictures of geese but anytime I can get wings over water with a sunrise and fog in the background I will fire away 📷 #BlueSkyPhotography #BlueSkyPhotographer #Birds 🪶 #NatureLovers #Wildlife

Hexham Abbey, Northumberland, UK. Quietly majestic.

A pretty stream in the wild of Northumberland, UK

As yet another #floodwarning has been issued... @privateeyenews.bsky.social #cartoon Take care people. #loveaffair #weather #climatecrisis

Spinal Tap, Misery, Stand By Me, A Few Good Men, The Princess Bride... You couldn't imagine a more different set of classic films. Rob Reiner is a genuine one of a kind legend.

No one can brand a health crisis, can they? Covid - sounds like a biscuit. Super flu - gives the impression it's fantastic. In the past they knew what to do. The Black Death - no messing. The Plague - you aren't blasé about catching it. We need to do better.

Terrible Planning: Dave Hill's Slade and Sweet are both playing in Newcastle / Gateshead on the same night next week...

What's this on our tree @drjaninaramirez.bsky.social? Looks rather fine!

Say it ain't so... #christmas #parenting #cartoon #dippenandink #watercolour #originalart

According to you know who, I listened to this song more than anyone else this year. I'm not necessarily ashamed of that 😎 youtu.be/-vB-WxV88CA?...
