Bob and Dylan. Dylan and Thomas.
This is No.3 (so far) in my series of date nights with people I’d like to meet but obviously never will. I’d ask a few questions, but mostly I think I’d just let them do the talking. Or if they don’t want to talk, that’s fine too. Nothing wrong with just sitting and looking at one another.
Gordon Heuckeroth. This guy is on the telly a lot here. He seems to be on everything. People say he’s funny but my Dutch isn’t good enough to work out if he really is funny or not. He certainly looks like he’s funny, but it might just be an act. So I drew him backstage, waiting for his funny pill to kick in.

Drawing of a sunbathing dog at Gail’s place in Sloterdijk yesterday. Staffy he’s called. Drawn in pencil, gel pen, graphite, dry ink brush, and coloured pencil.
Icelandic volcanoes. Well, I think they’re volcanoes. They might just be mountains. Sketchbook pages: ink, pencil, coloured pencil, gel pen and biro sketches from southern Iceland. Click them to look closer.
