tumbling vicars?

i have a tumblr!

and i also have vicars!

the dixie chimps!

the latest pre-watercolour drawing for the animation: it's the dixie chimps, with hairy face williamson on banjo, macacquo pastorius on bass, big bill baboonsy on the keys, ooie armstrong on trumpet and ook ellington on maracas...

animation!

more animation stuff - the pre painting versions of "the fabulous snook brothers are feigning an interest in jam" and "gadzooks the singing monkey and the knackers bird: together at last"...

new watercolours? i have them...

weird medieval types? i have them too...

a work in progress

i'm working on an animation! my fine friend letty suggested i give one a go and as such i'm turning one of infamous sleep songs ("paul the monkey", because it's catchy and short and silly) into a video... and i have no idea what i'm doing! i've never done anything like this before in my life and - weirdly - this is very freeing for me. i'm just throwing nonsense together to see if anything comes out... and i'm being about a tenth of pernickety with myself and enjoying myself more in a creative endeavour than i've done in AGES!!!

it's gadzooks, the singing monkey! he has a duets record coming soon with the infamous knackers bird...

drumming sensation, mungo snook of the fabulous snook brothers - their latest album is "the fabulous snook brothers are feigning an interest in jam"

the common swings creative nerve centre - and yes, my ape house shirt is entirely deliberate
