Queen Victoria

Listen to the ta-may-tah wit' da melons, the great Herschel "Krusty the Clown" Krustofsky once quoth, and he knew what he was talking about, believe me. And on that note, I've spent my birthday week in Sydney, folks! Here's the first of the sketches I did there: the statue of Queen Victoria outside the building that bears her name.

I've made her look a bit less of an old crone here, not to say the actual statue doesn't look good though. And if you're in Sydney and want to see a beautiful old 1880s building with an amazing interior with stained glass, tiled floors, incredible clocks hanging from the ceiling and heaps of shops, you'd be well advised to check out the QVB. Go now! Tell 'em Pete from Nonesuch sent you!

Leap Second


The last minute of June 2015 will have one extra second added to world time (giving it 61 seconds – my lucky number!). What will you do with your 'leap second'?

Eurovision Sketches


A couple of quick sketches done at about 6am while watching the Eurovision Song Contest final – the performers from Cyprus and Austria. Poor Austria, not a single point for the host nation (this hadn't happened since 1958!).

(On the other hand, Australia was in it as a one-off appearance and came 5th. Yeah!)
