Just  feeling melancholy and messing about with coloured pencils.

Here are some more great UK articles about Tangles…

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it’s a real-life superheroine! in The Jewish Chronicle — an article by Sarah Lightman about Jewish women cartoonists that includes me and Tangles

Drawing the unsayable in the Irish Independent — about Tangles and Billy, Me & You by Nicola Streeten

A funny way to deal with death in The Independent – a different article about Tangles and Billy, Me & You

And why not add a drawing I did right after we got back from London?

I am so into drawing cats with my fountain pen…

I did these drawings around November 29, the seventh anniversary of my mother’s death. Click on them to see them bigger (I know you know that but for some reason I say it anyway.) Starting to use a fountain pen (Lamy Safari) which I like a lot.

You can click on these guys to make them bigger.

I love how Nicola wears fancy frocks to comics events, and then decides to tap dance or pull on a winter hat partway through her presentation. Elegant and playful at the same time. Is that a particularly British quality?

Cartoonist and publisher Corinne Pearlman at her fabulous home. I did not find this article about the house until after we returned to Canada.

This is our new friend Katie; we stayed at her place in Newcastle. She is talking about some of the symptoms of M.E.

Katie changed her surname in her 20s. What’s really cool is that then her mother and sister followed suit. I’d never heard of that before.

As you can see, I’ve been experimenting with styles. Neither of these really looks like Katie, but I had fun doing them. And here is Katie’s dog Jodie.

And last of all, a wee angel. I love all the angels who only have heads and wings. They are all over the cathedrals. Maybe I will do some comics about these body-less angels.
