Happy new year! Here are a few more images I did for ‘The Man Who Wanted to be a Penguin‘, to be used in promotional materials and a booklet accompanying the production, which will be touring soon.

The Man Who Wanted to be a Penguin
These are two posters commissioned by the Stuff and Nonsense Theatre Company for their new production, The Man Who Wanted to be a Penguin, which premiers this December and will be touring through the Spring of 2020. The show combines live performance and puppetry to tell a a joyful tale that celebrates individuality through some cracking storytelling, beautifully crafted songs and even a chance to learn how to speak penguin!
The posters offer two quite contrasting designs for the show – which is your favourite?
Place Names – Terrington
Some place names sound less like an actual place and more like a character from a story.

Feeding the Squirrels
I often see this bloke sitting in the middle of the woodland bit of my local park.
Dino Buddies
Place Names – Barton-le-Willows
Some place names sound more like characters from a story. Here’s another one of my favourites.
Place Names: Sherburn-in-Elmet
Sometimes an unusual place name is so evocative of a character that it demands a picture. I’ve done this once before but now find myself traveling new routes that have brought a whole host of new towns and villages with unusual names to my attention.
So I will be adding to this new series intermittently, whenever I find another place name that sounds more like a character than somewhere you’d live.

The Reassuring Cat
Come rain, shine or snow this cat sits on the fence post at the bottom of our garden almost every day, and sometimes several times a day. It’s probably on some kind of patrol, or watching the trains. Though its perch looks decidedly uncomfortable, knowing it’ll be back there at some point soon is really quite comforting.

Eavesdropped – Weary Tortoise
Eavesdropped is a drawing game for 1 or more.
You play it like this:
1. Listen out for snippets of conversation you hear as you go about your daily business – people overheard in a cafe, or a fragment of conversation in the street, that kind of thing.
2. Turn the first coherent comment you overhear into a picture.
3. That’s it, you’re done!
This week –
Share your own Eavesdropped pictures on Facebook or by getting in touch here, I’ll put them up as guest posts.
