Okay, it’s been a little while, but continuing the Who caricature theme… this one wasn’t the easiest. Peter’s quite ordinary and lacking in majorly distinctive features that you can play broadly. I think I did okay!

Well, here’s a third effort in my Doctor Who pic series.

I’ve been encouraged to try more DW caricatures, per previous post. So here’s Pertwee.

Well, it’s fair to say last year’s Capaldi debut series of Doctor Who got me thinking about the show quite a bit. And he’s a great Doctor. Shame about the scripts, for the most part. The reminder to watch lots of Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker shows was a positive, anyhow.

I’ve been thinking about experimenting with caricature styles, so, for a quickie (took about an hour, I guess), I had a go at Capaldi.

Well, I’ve left the blog unattended for aeons again. Just wanted to sneak in before this year is over and done with.

Hasn’t been a very good year, apart from the Bowie stuff. Chaotic, frustrating, lacking in any of the progress or affirmation I’m looking for.

And then, on November 25th, the author Joel Lane, who’d become a very good friend of mine in recent times, passed away suddenly. His delayed funeral, which I attended, was on December 23rd.

The January 2012 Lodge meeting—Joel is at the back, partially obscured. The others are Steve Green, me and Theresa Derwin.

Jack Kirby @ 96

I sometimes forget, but it’s nice to remember Jack on his birthday.

I am aghast to realise it was ten years ago (almost) that I tried to make a Bowie Top Ten list.

Thought I’d try similar, with the same reckless abandon, and see what comes out.

Oh, okay. A pic of Bowie first (a la last time).

Nice scarf, Dave. And you do rock the odd gray streak in that awesomely luscious hair. 😉

Here goes the new Top Ten…

David Bowie Is God

Or so it says on an old badge I still have. Which I used to wear a lot. Being absent from the blog so much this year means no Bowie Talk about the new album, The Next Day. (Buy it from Amazon.) Yeah, I liked it; yeah, I’ve had my ups-and-downs with it. In the end I made peace with it fully—I actually love some of it intensely.

See, I thought he was gone for good. And I was more or less okay with that. It might seem odd but the whole thing was very emotional for me. I had to go through a wide spectrum of feelings. On the other side, I’m really happy the new album exists. The world is a better place with DB in it.

And hey, he’s still a fine-looking man at 66, ain’t he?
