Hoplite Fan Art

Hoplite is a great little game (app)! Here is some love for it.

Crabby mood

Another fish bloke for the collection. Not drawn one in a little while.

Fish With Fingers

I know what you're thinking. I haven't seen a weird fishman in a while.

Work takes over sometimes, so I haven't posted for a couple of weeks. Feeling a little guilty about that. Sometimes just drawing something without thinking is a good place to start, thus, fishmen.

Party Prawn!

It's a prawn who likes to party. Don't let him down.

Kick It

Hmm, at what point does routine become habit, and when do habits become bad for you? That's enough of these for a while.

An Enemy?

A sea anemone bloke. With claws!

The Big Smoke

Well I'm back in London. It's pretty much the same as when I left, which is reassuring.

Friday Fish

I see a theme developing...

Weather or Not

I'd been meaning to write a post on the weather here for ages. But through circumstance I haven't really had the ability. It snowed again last night, maybe for the final time this winter, so I thought I'd at least mention it.

Discussing the weather is known as a pretty British thing to do, and I guess this post makes that even more evident. But in the last five months I've talked about it far more than normal, and most of the time I haven't even initiated the conversation. Maybe people were second guessing me!

It's been a very mild winter here in Chicago. I was warned from the day I arrived of the horrific weather conditions here last year. Apocalyptic snow storms, and bone chilling temperatures, but this year they haven't really materialised.

I had imagined myself as some kind of Scott of the arctic - Bravely struggling to work through sub-zero conditions, but I haven't had the chance to really prove myself. There have been some rather icy days, and a few large snowfalls, but all in all, I'm a little disappointed. I had psyched myself up for frostbite weather.

I've no real point to make, I thought I would do given the extreme weather predictions, but come rain or shine, life goes on. – Except snow, then, for at least 24 hours, everything grinds to a halt no matter how prepared you are.

Pancake Day!

Today is pancake day! Or Shrove Tuesday, or the start of Mardi Gras if you will. Tomorrow is Ash Wedneday, and yesterday was President's Day.

But today is pancake day, and I will eat pancakes!
