I can think of a few reasons why you would watch football...

I think this was inspired by hand balls..

Patterns are also fun - How a page on patterns can actually feature no patterns whatsoever

I think this is unfinished. After all what good is a page on patterns if there is no pattern. These go with an earlier piece on things that are fun.

Hand drawn type is surprisingly fun if you are the type of person who also finds train journeys fun

Don't mock me because my interests are slightly crap (a lot crap) but hand drawn type has become one of my favourite things to do. I just wished i knew what to write more often.

I dedicate this day to drawings of less than respectable people

These 2 drawings were quick doodles and were heavily influenced by things around me. The first drawing is of a taxi driver. He looked kind of seedy and maybe like he taxi'd other things around too *wink wink nudge nudge* I quite like it as a drawing, i think i got his face just right for a change.

The second however can only be described as a monstrosity. Albeit one i am quite proud of. I overheard these two men talking on the number 5 bus just before christmas. The man i drew was saying about how he was buying his children their christmas presents and then went on to tell the other man about his friend, "the plastic gangster" who was all mouth and wouldn't do anything. He then went on to say he couldnt do anything because he couldn't end up in prison this close to christmas. I felt like a reporter as i snooped in on their conversation. The drawing is awful though, i was trying to show he had lots of wrinkles, greased back hair, was carrying several stones too many in weight and had these big eyes like a frog. I think in reality it looks more like Andrew Lloyd Webber <3

I have more drawings from buses with anecdotal stories to go with them which i'm very fond of. Maybe if i applied the same level of concentration and eagerness to everything as i have done other peoples conversations i would be more successful. Sigh

I hate old people and public transport

Ok, i don't hate all old people, i like my big Nan, she brought me drumstick lollies every Wednesday after school. But every other one...grrrr.

And i don't hate all public transport, trains are fun sometimes, and buses are even funner especially if it's a double decker and you are at the front. I like to pretend i am driving it (not improving the opinion of people who think im simple)

But in this instance, i hate them both, for these are two evil old ladies who did something outrageous (so outrageous i can't remember it now!) and it made me so bitter i drew this very quickly on a bus, i even used colour, this is almost unheard of.

Lets not point out the flaws with this picture, i am aware there are many. But my intention was to capture the meanness of these jowly, misanthropic grumps

Things that are fun...

This is part of a larger set of drawings entitled "things that are fun" (that sentence seems so grammatically incorrect and childish - Win!) But i like it and it took a while so ta-dah!

It says:

but whats even more fun.... is train journeys, trainers, pizza express,sour sweets, quoting mean girls, the mr.reid stage fall, rain, silence, (things in brackets), wasting time, clown college, pointless bus trips, convincing acting, talking like a gangster, food with faces, uncontrollable laughter, harold bishop, tiny bow ties, crazy golf, crabbing, coffee stabbing, being panacheful, horatio knibbles, colouring in, collecting stuff, funny faces, stating the obvious, lists.

Obviously that list isnt fun to everyone. In fact its probably only fun to me, hmmm
