This drawing of Bamburgh Castle was made while I sat among the sand dunes to the south of the castle. It's drawn in brown ink, with pen and brush. #Bamburgh #Northumberland #castles

Richmond Artist of the Year competition was held today, in Marble Hill Park, very near where I live. This was my entry. I'm not artist of the year, or even shortlisted, but it was fun, on a hot day that ended with a huge thunderstorm. #ArtsRichmond #MarbleHill #englishheritage

Richmond riverside on a sunny summer's day. Draw with a mysterious ink called Doomesday, made using a medieval recipe. It smells of cloves and red wine. #Richmond #RichmonduponThames #Thames

This boat was moored near Richmond Lock a couple of weeks ago. It had a huge mast and sails still furled. Looked like it was being got ready for filming. #Richmond #RichmonduponThames #thames

Saturday afternoon drinkers outside the Princes Head pub in Richmond. The pub appears as the Crown and Anchor in Ted Lasso, and is a big attraction for tourists taking selfies. Drawn with ink, pen and brush. #Richmond #PrincesHead #TedLasso

3rd pic for Cormac McCarthy's novel Outer Dark. As Rinthy Holme wanders the country she passes 'rows of new corn putting up handhigh through the gray loam ... If crows had not risen from a field she might never have looked ... to see two hanged men in a tree like gross chimes.'

The American singer-songwriter Jim White writes many songs telling stories, and in 'Objects in Motion' he tells how he 'found a suitcase full of love letters floating down a cool brown river. Unsigned and undelivered.' #JimWhite #illustrationasart #illustratingStories #americana

On the 9th of April, the beloved leader issued an Executive Order ending restrictions on waterflow through showers. He said this was so he could wet his beautiful hair in under 15 minutes. #trump #TrumpShowers
