I enjoyed drawing this Treknet one. It's has a bright cheery feel, on a much needed rainy day. #rainmustfall

A timeline picture for the Treknet Facebook page and website. Brak has been contemplating space recently in the strip, dog being pioneers of space travel after all. You didn't ever hear of them sending cats to space, did you? Dogs rule! (space too). #brak #spacedog

I will be there. Come and say hi.

I've been enjoying the mosaic cartoon process, while a lot slower than pencil and paper,it's quite therapeutic watching the image slowly appear. #treknet #cartoon #mosaic

This is my first venture into mosaicing. Following on with my theme of van Gogh's starry sky combined with the characters from the Treknet comic strip. It's a lot more time consuming than cartooning, but I've enjoyed the process of watching and waiting as it takes shape. Just need to add grout and it will be finished.

A peak inside my studio space taken a little while ago. 

It's not usually this tidy. I must have been between jobs, or expecting a visitor.

I say that cleaning my office is a way for me to clear my head and prepare for a new job, but I also suspect it could just be another form of procrastination, who knows?

Here's a cartoon I did for my friend Andy Mason for his birthday a couple of weeks ago. I enjoy drawing surfing cartoons,

 I used to draw them a lot as a child. I think I was originally inspired by the cartoons in The Corner Surf Shop Muizenberg.

The burden of modern man. 

The Evolution of Man (read debt)

Today's People's Post cartoon.

Something silly for this weeks People's Post cartoon. A new proposal for the Cape Town stadium which incorporates the unfinished Freeway at the same time. With all the rain we've had recently, we'd just need to plug the exits and wait for nature to do the rest. 

Great opportunities for scuba driving too.

Here's a selection of Treknet strips from the last week or so.
