hello! this is me
and the thing that looks like a moustache is partly a shadow under my nose, and partly my left ear.
this is me, too
I wish I could bottle whatever was going through me when I drew this.
whereas
this is not me. Not even an itsy bitsy like me.
oops, me again
on my last day working in the construction industry.
Not really . . . “Farting is such sweet sorrow” was just a pun.
and discomfort
of a different kind. This is Wojtek, my friend and masseur.
and his wife
Kasia – a lovely lady who used to be a snail farmer.
Picture commissioned by her and published with her permission.

my youngest
pensive mood.
This was done at the same time I was drawing the French roadtrip sketches here.
rescued this
from the archive.
This was from my first inktober
a few more
from the same – a ripping tale of pirates, castaways, dragons and a witch.
another oldie
from the archive.
Illustrating my beloved poem with the opening line “I do not like the taste of rat”
making bread

as is
the production of wine.
