Contrary to popular belief the Mug of the Year is not Teresa or Donald, it’s the Stroud Wassail Mug which has just been delivered to the fine Subcription Rooms in Stroud. Beautifully illustrated by Alison Merry and designed by my good self, they are there to celebrate the Stroud Wassail which is a medieval celebration taking place in January in Stroud.

Find out more about the goings on that will occur right here:http://stroudwassail.com

Unlike Teresa, Donald, and all that shower this lot will raise your spirits and we are likely to need that in January!

So here we are with not long to go before another year is on us. A big thank you for all those people who took the trouble to follow and like what I do here.

I decided to do some “proper drawings” as my dear Aunty Anne told me one time. Cartoons are proper drawings I muttered at the time and they gave me a living for many years. I’ve always been interested in more than cartoons. I’m keen on photography and other people’s work. Which is why I chose to start a small website a year ago http://www.looksgoodonthewall.com

It’s intended to give more visibility to a number of artist friends whose work I like very much. Take a look sometime, there’s some rare talent there.

The drawing below is a close relative of the one above.

I wish everyone in the Blogosphere a very Happy Christmas and a Peaceful New Year.
