I never got the hang of the water soluble pen wash, but I will try it again. oh yes, by the way it’s watercolour. I never got the hang of the water soluble pen wash, but I will try it again.

Galfridian means 'to do with Geoffrey of Monmouth' so it's pretty narrowly used, though I am campaigning to have it used when talking of Geoffrey out of Rainbow. This way, Zippy and Bungle could eventually be called Galfridian characters, or at least associates. I wonder if there's a term for 'to do with Rod Jane and Freddy'? Well now I'm just being silly. thank you. i love microns; after much drawing, they’re my favourite.

You are here to make the rest of us feel inadequate. Is that a watercolour wash, or is the pen watersoluble? I really like the effect of it combined with your line work.

I'm too tired to go into the reasons why, but it strikes home with me. I think because I used to do so many of the "out of the frame" illustrations myself. I'm just drawn to them, no pun intended. I also love the composition and the pens leading us in...and I love Microns. It's just darn good! I love this! I’m too tired to go into the reasons why, but it strikes home with me.

Geoffrey of Monmouth, while populist and sensational and wild at the time, is a really good read, immensely influential, and completely made up as he went along to boot. But that's where we get a lot of our British legends (Brutus the Trojan, etc). Sows the <strong>seed</strong> for other similar works, if you will. I've never read Zippy of Monmouth but I hear it's even better. cheers! i don’t like drawing pens so got this out of the way.
