This Is The End . . .

 . . . Or is it?

I have decided to consolidate all my work into as one blog, so as from now on this doodle blog will cease to show any more new materials, instead they will appear in my other blog:

While I've not completely disappeared, I thank you for all your support and loyalty to this long-running doodle blog that started life as a 365-type mission in 2012.

Under The Weather . . .

. . . Yet again.

Can you tell I'm getting a bit bored of local newspapers take on the weather.

Under The Weather - Again

As Autumn seem keen to get started.

Under The Weather

I'm attempting to give some of my pre-2000's doodles a modern make over and this is one of them. Earlier on today I got talking about Capel Fe Ferne's (a village high up on the hills) weather and an idea came to mind.

It's Just Not Cricket

As England was gripped by a cricket match.

Dopey Seagull

A typical Summery-like Sunday here at Folkestone.

More Interesting Than Flower Pressing

Back On Track

Used up an old idea I found at the bottom of my box of tricks (it's just to keep my artistic juices flowing).

Another Jet Comic Strip

The first one was received quite well on Facebook, so I did another one today. It may not/won't be in the same league as Simon's Cat or Garfield but this is all my own work/idea.

Jet - The Comic Strip

Not often I do my doodles in comic strip format but had a go at it this evening based on my cat and an actual weather forecast for tomorrow.

The Simpsons

This is another doodle first for me, people who I've known for years done in the style of The Simpsons.

Hitching A Ride

Did this for my next neighbour where the guy had fractured his hip.

Global Lightning

Did this for a facebook friend's weather-related group.

The Perils Of Nude Cycling

RIP Chewbacca

The actor who played Chewbacca throughout the entire Star Wars saga has passed away.

Another Weekend Come And Gone.

Down To Earth

Did this for someone's business plan.

Vista

A rare attempt at serious sketching. This was the view from my garden chair on what was a fine Easter Weekend.

Summer's Return

We are currently experiencing a spell of fine warm dry weather . . . and on a bank holiday weekend too!

Notre Dame Is Gone.

The famous French Cathedral has been destroyed by a fire.

Ticked Off

Did this for an internet friend who lives in Scotland and experience a lot of bug-related issues (ticks, midges, etc).

Some More Faces

No punchlines to these three doodles done today, they are just for advertising purposes (Diabetes UK).

Hope Springs Eternal.

In case you are wondering, I'm absolutely fine. Just trying out a doodle idea.

The Folkestone Harold

Did this for a proposed Facebook page about local matters before decided against it.

Hell On Earth

 

Starting to lose my patience with a nightclub that is close by to my home.

Buzzing For Spring

As most of the UK has an early taste of Spring due to unusually warm, dry and bright weather for this time of the year.

Book Cover

This rounded off the Wildlife Fairy project as mentioned in the previous post.

The Wildlife Fairy

 

Just coming to the end of a rather ambitious project of providing illustrations for a friend's book.

Another New Year.

Here's hoping for 2019 to be an interesting/productive year in terms of doodling, photography and the weather (my three main interests).

Feeling Festive . . . Almost.

Time for the obligatory Christmas doodle.

The Little Lady In The Lift

A Folkestone icon, Jeanne, who used to operate the lifts at a local department store for decades has passed away today. This is my tribute to her.

Smell The Coffee

While walking through a quaint part of Folkestone town, a doodle idea sprang to mind.

Strange Bedfellows

Summing up the current political situation.
